The guide was updated: 2025-11-30

Spain can be visited visa-free for up to 90 days by citizens of most European countries, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, Israel, UAE and most countries in America. If you are unsure whether or not you need to apply for a visa, we recommend contacting the embassy or consulate in your country. International (non-Schengen) travelers need a passport that is valid for at least 3 months after the end of their intended trip in order to enter the Schengen zone. Citizens of Schengen countries can travel without a passport, but must have a valid ID with them during their stay.

Best Time to Visit

Best Time to Visit

With its typically Mediterranean climate, and being the most temperate one of the Balearic islands, Menorca can be visited all year long. Thanks to the refreshing sea breeze, it never gets too hot during the summer. The average temperature of 25°C (77°F) during the summer season, June to September, is enriched by 11 hours of sunshine. The winter, November to February, can be marked with heavy rainfall. Keep in mind, therefore, that many establishments with outdoor activities can be closed during the colder months, but the islands will nonetheless be lively, and luckily also not as crowded as during the peak season.

Public Transport

Public Transport

The bus company TMSA covers a variety of routes on the island, but cars, motorbikes and bicycles are also suitable means of transportation, with roads that are generally well signposted. There are also cycle lanes on some of the minor roads. Keep in mind that several of the more popular coves are only accessible by private roads, and a small toll may be charged.

Taxi

Taxi

Taxis are generally inexpensive, and with fixed rates for longer distances. The cars are white and use meters to calculate the total fare of the ride. There are several companies operating across the islands, and Pidetaxi is a popular taxi app on the island.
