You can start to prepare your trip to Lanzarote today.  We will provide you with all the required information to make your trip to the perfect.

 

WHEN SHOULD I GO?

Choose the date for your holiday, depending on what you want to do during your stay on the island. Even though Lanzarote's climate is mild all year round, if you want to hike or enjoy nature, its probably better to travel in winter. From May to October, you get perfect weather to enjoy the beautiful beaches.

 

DOCUMENTATION

Your ID and/or passport are essential to travel as well as your driving licence if you are thinking of hiring a car. Young travellers, students or senior citizens are entitled to discounts on public transportation, museum tickets and other interesting sites.

 

BY PLANE

From the main European cities, it is possible to fly to Lanzarote a layover. Lanzarote Airport (ACE) is located near the capital city, Arrecife, and is the third largest airport of the Archipelago, after Gran Canaria Airport and Tenerife South Airport.

 

PACKAGE HOLIDAYS

Many travellers hire package holidays that include flights, transport to and from the airport and acommodation.

 

BY FERRY

Arrecife's Port is Lanzarote's main port and it is connected to Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Cádiz. From Playa Blanca port there are regular trip run by the companies Navieras Armas and Fred Olsen that connect Lanzarote with Fuerteventura.

 

PUBLIC TRANSPORT

Lanzarote has a gret road network, it is easy to get around by car. The motorway connects the airport to the capital, Arrecife. Playa Blanca and Yaiza are also connected by a motorway. A public bus network is also available.

In Lanzarote you will find a wide range of hotels to suit all tastes and budgets. The incredible natural beauty of the Island of Fire has favoured the development of rural, charming hotels, ideal for relaxing holidays and for those who love hiking, nature and traditions.

 

There is a top selection of hotels available along all of the island's coastline, where you will find amazing Resorts and exclusive hotels. Check if your booking includes breakfast. It will probably be a buffet breakfast with a wide variety of cheeses, cold cuts, cereal, yoghurt, juices, breads and sweets. The majority of hotels include warm breakfast and local products. Bon Apetit!

You may take out an insurance policy to cover medical assistance during the trip. We also offer a travel insurance policy, which covers medical assistance, theft and cancellation charges. Several private medical centres and private hospitals throughout many towns on the island offer medical assitance. In case of emergency we recommend going to the Hospital General and Hospital Insular located in the capital, Arrecife.

The Euro is the official currency in the Canary Islands. As in the rest of the country, you may use credit cards for most of your financial transactions, especially in the touristic areas, where they tend to facilitate consumption to their clients.  There may be some shops or small bars that only accept cash.

There is a wide network of ATM’s in the main towns of the island, but please bear in mind that banks charge a commission if you withdraw cash with other banks’ credit cards.
