Views and history with breaks

Combine viewpoints with the MUSA galleries to explore Alicante's history. The grounds have changes in level and exposed areas: carry water, wear comfortable shoes and shorten the walk in strong heat. Check which areas are open on your visit day.

The free tour starts at the top

The Civitatis free tour meets in the castle's Patio de Armas. Allow beforehand for the ascent and possible lift queues: booking the guided walk does not reserve that transport. Review the tour conditions and budget for a guide contribution based on your experience.
