Family Fun in Alicante

Hire a cheap Alicante rental car

Alicante offers many sights and attractions, some of which are a guaranteed blast of family fun, and the rest, depending on the age and interest level of your children could be hit or miss. Treat minds young and old to some of Alicante's architectural and historical attractions, but make sure to mix in some of the bells and whistles, such as a day park and you and your kids will have a winning experience during your stay in Alicante. Reserve a car hire in Alicante to get around to the best sites of the city.

Tour the most prominent castle in Alicante, located on the top of Mount Benacantil at a height of 166 meters. The Castle of Santa Barbara is one of the largest medieval fortresses in Spain. Here families can enjoy an amazing view of town and harbor. Getting there is also a great opportunity for family exercise (and to expel some children's energy), when you opt for the walk from Plaza de Carmen. There is also an elevator lift if your whole group isn't up for the hike, or you can drive up to the castle in your Alicante rental car.

For some bells and whistles on your trip treat your kids to the Terra Mitica Park. Known as Benidorm's Ancient History Theme Park, it offers an educational alternative to simply touring the sights with uninterested children. Alicante also offers catamaran cruises. Break up your experience of the city with an afternoon spent out on the water.

Parents and children alike are sure to enjoy a day at the beach. In the heart of Alicante is one of the finest beaches in Spain. Postiguet Beach is excellent for relaxing or playing in the sun and water during the day, but it is also a sight to behold in the evening, illuminated by street lights.
