Lanzarote

Citizens of European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA) countries do not need a visa to enter Spain, only a valid ID. Many other countries, including the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, United Arab Emirates, Australia, and New Zealand, benefit from visa-free entry for short stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period. Visitors from visa-exempt countries must hold a valid passport and, starting in late 2025, will need to apply for an ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorisation System) authorisation online before travelling. For those requiring a visa, such as travellers from some Middle-East, African or Asian nations, a Schengen visa must be obtained prior to arrival. All travellers should ensure their passport is valid for at least three months beyond their intended stay.

Lanzarote is a fantastic year-round destination, boasting mild winters and pleasantly warm summers, with temperatures rarely exceeding 30°C. To dodge the tourist crowds and enjoy a more tranquil experience, consider planning your visit during the shoulder months of April-May or September-October.

Travelling around Lanzarote is a breeze, as distances across the island aren't extensive, and local buses make getting about quite convenient. The majority of attractions are accessible via public transport, with all resorts connecting through Arrecife. For details on prices, routes, discounts and passes, head over to their website to make the most of your island adventure.

You'll find an abundance of taxis in the major tourist resorts, but keep in mind that public transport is efficient and often considerably more affordable. It's highly recommended to use only official taxis, which are easily recognisable by their white and red colours. Taxi ranks are typically situated near the city's central station, ensuring you always have access to a ride. Bear in mind that each part of the island has its own dedicated taxi company.

Spain’s power grid operates at 230 volts with a frequency of 50 Hz, using Type F (Schuko plug) and Type C (Europlug) outlets. Both types accept plugs with two round prongs, common across continental Europe.
