Weekend Train Getaways from Alicante

Looking for the best train getaways from Alicante? Your next escape might take you to Villajoyosa, one of the loveliest coastal towns near Alicante. Here you’ll find a seafront trail with ancient watchtowers, Roman remains and Mediterranean views. Its colourful fishing quarter and old town—with sections of the original walls still standing—make it an utterly charming stop.

For a longer weekend break, Benidorm is another top destination by train from Alicante. With its beaches, brilliant food scene, theme parks and a spectacular viewpoint, it’s a city with a lot to offer. Or, of course, you could head to Altea for a perfect day trip by train, where blue-tiled domes and whitewashed houses create a picture-perfect Mediterranean vibe—and it’s only a short ride away.

If you’re after coastal walks, Calp and Benissa are excellent choices for train travellers. In Calp you can follow the Voramar–Calalga botanical trail, or continue towards Benissa to join the Ecological Coastal Path that links both towns along the shore.

And finally, your train adventures from Alicante can take you to Dénia, recognised by UNESCO as a Creative City of Gastronomy. With its nearly thousand-year-old castle, ancient walls, and a coastline full of coves and beaches, Dénia is one of the most rewarding destinations you can reach by rail.
