🪪 Entry: For German nationals, a national ID card is sufficient (EU/Schengen).

Why Alicante now?

Alicante is far more than just an airport destination on the Costa Blanca. The city combines a lively old town with relaxed beach life and excellent cuisine. One landmark is the Santa Bárbara Castle, which towers high above the city and offers a wide view over the bay. Directly below lies the Barrio de la Santa Cruz, a district with colorful houses, flower-decorated alleyways and small tapas bars. A stroll along the Explanada de España, the promenade paved with wave patterns, is part of every visit. When it comes to food, you should definitely try Arroz a la alicantina, a dry rice dish with seafood, or the famous tapas such as montaditos and croquetas. If you like, taste the local turrón from Jijona or an horchata in the city center. At Postiguet Beach, it’s often still pleasant even in December, and the harbor with its fish restaurants is an experience in itself. Alicante is compact, you can discover a lot on foot and still take the tram quickly to quieter beaches like San Juan.

Flight to Alicante: price, dates and what you need to know

The deal: round trip from Düsseldorf to Alicante for 58 euros per person. The travel dates are December 10 to 21, 2026 — that’s 11 days. The flight is nonstop, so without stops, which makes the journey pleasantly short. At this price, you should be flexible and book soon, because such offers are often gone quickly. Remember: checked baggage may cost extra, so if possible pack only carry-on. A rental car isn’t necessary if you stay in Alicante — the city is well connected by buses and the tram. If you do want to take trips, a rental car for individual days is worthwhile. The flight to Alicante is also ideal for exploring the region from there, for example by tram to Benidorm or by bus to Elche with its palm grove. But Alicante itself already offers enough for 11 days.

Best travel time & practical tips

In December, Alicante is mild: during the day the thermometer often reaches 16 to 18 degrees, at night it cools to about 8 to 10 degrees. Rain can occur, but is usually not the norm. For walks, sightseeing and beach strolls, the weather is ideal — only the hardy go swimming. Practical tips: use the tram (lines 1, 3, 4 and 5) for trips to the beaches or into the mountains. A single ticket costs a few euros, a day pass is worthwhile. In the city center, many attractions are within walking distance. Save on meals by using the Menú del Día — a multi-course lunch often under 15 euros. Many museums are free on Sundays, for example the Museo Arqueológico. If you want to visit the Santa Bárbara Castle, take the elevator (elevator in Parque de la Ereta) or walk — admission is cheap. Watch the opening hours, in winter some places close earlier. For the transfer from the airport into the city, take the Bus C6, which runs every 20 minutes. With the flight to Alicante, you have an inexpensive base for a varied trip.
