Local Tips

Book accommodation in advance during peak summer. Many attractions and shops close for siesta in the afternoon, so plan accordingly.

Tipping is appreciated but not mandatory (5-10% in restaurants). Casual beachwear is fine by the seaside, but cover up in town and when entering churches.

Safety Warnings

Mainly a safe city, but watch for pickpockets in busy areas like Levante Beach and the Old Town. Be especially cautious at night in crowded bars and clubs.

Hidden Gems

Seek out the Balcón del Mediterráneo for stunning sea views, visit the lesser-known L'Aigüera Park, or hike to La Cruz de Benidorm for panoramic vistas.
