Bus to Biarritz

Taking a bus to Biarritz is a great way to reach one of Europe's classiest seaside resorts. Buses run to the center of the resort from major French and Spanish cities, and those transferring from US flights will find plenty of options. With low fares and comfortable coaches, bus travel makes a lot of sense.

Which is the main bus station in Biarritz?

Most buses to central Biarritz will arrive at the Estacion de Tren bus station. The bus station is around one and a half miles from the seafront, so taxis or buses may be required to reach hotels by the Bay of Biscay. The number 2 bus will take passengers straight to the seafront and there's also an Avis office on-site at the train station. Some buses also get into Biarritz Airport, which is a similar distance from the sea. Again, buses offer rapid transfers to accommodation and taxis will take 10-15 minutes.

Which bus companies offer buses to Biarritz?

Eurolines is the major operator of buses to Biarritz, running services from Paris, Bordeaux, and many other major French cities. FlixBus offers an alternative on many popular routes, as does BlaBlaBus.

Why travel by bus to Biarritz?

There are many excellent reasons to take buses to Biarritz. Cost is high on the list, with most bus connections dramatically undercutting the cost of train fares and regional flights. The resort also enjoys plenty of connections with airports in both France and Spain, with direct buses from Paris offering easy transfers for those arriving from North America. Moreover, companies like FlixBus and Eurolines run air-conditioned coaches and usually offer onboard WiFi, so the experience of coach travel to Biarritz is another major plus point.

Before you travel to Biarritz by bus - good to know!

When traveling up and down the seafront at Biarritz, buses are often a great option. The seafront stretches for miles and some of the emptiest beaches are well out of walking range. However, bike hire is a great alternative, and there are plenty of outlets in the center of town. As far as sightseeing goes, Biarritz has a lot to offer. The beach (Grande Plage) is the star, but don't miss the Museum of the Sea and the stunning Art Deco Aquarium. For the very best views in town, be sure to scale the 248 steps of Biarritz's iconic lighthouse.
