Alicante TRAM extends night services for Easter celebrations

Benidorm / Alicante / 1 April 2026

Public transport in Alicante will run later into the night this week as authorities boost services to support travel during Holy Week.

Operator TRAM d'Alacant has confirmed extended evening and overnight services on key routes from today, Wednesday 1 April to Friday 3 April, aimed at helping both residents and visitors attend processions and events across the city.

Increased services across key routes

Additional late-night trams will operate on:

Line 2 (Luceros – Sant Vicent del Raspeig)
Line 3 (Luceros – El Campello)
Line 4 (Luceros – Plaza La Coruña)

In total, 57 extra tram services will run over the three nights, significantly increasing capacity during one of the busiest periods in Alicante’s calendar.

The final services on these lines will run into the early hours of the morning, with some departures continuing until around 3:00am.

Extended Benidorm connection

Services on Line 1, which connects Benidorm with Alicante, will also be enhanced. Selected late-night trams departing Benidorm will continue through to Luceros station in the city centre, rather than terminating earlier as usual.

Supporting tourism and reducing congestion

According to Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat Valenciana, the move is designed to provide a reliable alternative to car travel during a period when road closures, high visitor numbers and public events can lead to congestion.

Officials say the extended timetable will help ease pressure on parking and improve mobility, while ensuring safe and convenient access to religious processions and city centre activities.

Preparing for peak demand

Holy Week is one of the most important cultural and tourism events in Alicante, drawing large crowds to the city’s streets each year.

Transport authorities say the enhanced TRAM service is part of wider planning to accommodate increased demand and ensure smooth travel throughout the celebrations.
