How to get to the\nmarket?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There\nare different options to get to Alcudia market, so here are some advices on\neach one:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Come by car:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Many tourists come from different resorts by car to visit the market in Alcudia. There are many places to park, being the main car park right in front of the church area by the Roman Ruins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\ncan also park around the bull ring which is very close to the market. Both are\nfree of charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Public bus to\nAlcudia market <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you are staying in a nearby resort, such as Puerto Pollensa, Can Picafort, Playa de Muro or Port Alcudia, you can take the local public bus to Alcudia Market. The price is 1,80\u20ac in 2019. You can check all the info on this link<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The local public bus runs from April to October every 20 minutes and it has plenty of stops in the resorts. Please note that on market days it gets extremely busy, so a good suggestion is to take an early bus. There are high chances you have to stand up and if the bus is full, many times it doesn\u2019t stop and it will pass by as the capacity of passengers is full.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another\nadvice is to be careful with pick pockets on the bus and also at the bus stop\nwhile waiting or getting on the bus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bus stop in Alcudia Old Town is right by the market and the tourist information office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From other resorts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you are staying at different resort than in the north area, we recommend you to check the public transport website to see if there is a direct route from your resort to the market. Sometimes there is a direct bus but a good suggestion is to buy a tour that combines Alc\u00fadia market with the visit to Formentor, being a really nice day out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walking to Alcudia Market<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you are staying in the resort of Port Alc\u00fadia and you like walking, it might be a great choice to walk from the resort to the market. We always recommend you to check Google Maps so you can see the distance and time, as depending on the hotel location, it changes. Serve as an example that from the hotel Condes de Alcudia, it takes about 20 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is quite an easy walk from Alcudia Port to Alcudia Market, and on the way you get to see the old Roman Ruins and Santa Ana Chapel, one of the oldest churches on the island. The only inconvenience is that in summer, it might not be pleasant in the stifling heat that we often suffer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By taxi:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
