Good to Know

Walkability
- Overview
- Ibiza Town center is walkable for daily needs, but the wider island is car-dependent. The compact historic center features pedestrian-friendly narrow streets, but attractions, resorts, and beaches are spread across the island.
- Getting Around Tier
- moderate
- Getting Around Tier Rationale
- Public transit covers main routes and tourist zones; however, rideshare apps do not operate (traditional taxis only), and most beaches and attractions require either car rental, taxi, or bus service that can be infrequent outside peak season.
