How to get to Mahón, get around & park without stress

Landing in Menorca should feel like the start of your holiday—not the start of logistics. This guide takes you step by step from Menorca Airport (MAH) to Mahón (Maó), helps you choose the best way to get around depending on your trip (vacation, hiking/bike, events, business), and gives you a simple plan for parking near the center without wasting time.

Before you leave the airport: choose your “travel mode”

Pick one and commit:

- Fast + effortless: taxi.
- Budget-friendly, no car: Bus Line 10 to Mahón + walk / short taxi if needed.
- Business trip or lots of driving: rental car + parking plan.
- Camí de Cavalls / cycling focus: bus + walking routes, or car if you’ll do distant stages.

Stress-free tips

If you’re arriving for a meeting or fixed-time event, keep a taxi as your backup plan.

If you have a big suitcase or sports gear, consider bus + a short taxi for the last stretch.

Option B: Taxi — the most direct and comfortable

Best if you:

arrive late,

travel with kids,

carry lots of luggage,

have a meeting or event with a strict start time.

Option C: Rental car — maximum freedom (with one key rule: plan parking)

If you’re visiting a different area every day—beaches, lighthouses, villages—having a car can be handy. Aena’s “How to get there by car” page is useful for airport access info AENA

The real difference in peak season isn’t the car—it’s where you park once you reach Mahón.

Parking in Mahón without losing time

Here’s the golden rule: in high season, finding a free spot near the centre is luck. The stress-free approach is simple: choose a reliable car park and walk.

Option A: Public car parks (recommended)

Two commonly used central options are:

Parking Sa Plaça / Plaza Miranda

When to choose a car park 100%

Friday evening / weekend / public holiday arrival

You’re attending an event and can’t risk delays

You’re travelling with equipment (bike gear, work materials, instruments)

Option B: Paid street parking (short stays)

For quick stops, regulated zones can be practical. An app often used for managing paid parking is Telpark:

Realistic tip: use this for short errands, not as your “multi-day” strategy.

Option C: The simplest “no-stress” routine

Arrive, drop your bags (if possible).

Park once (car park).

Forget the car: walk Mahón + use bus/taxi only when needed.

Menorca is also culture—check what’s on before you travel

Whether you’re coming for cultural or sporting events (or you just want a great evening plan), it’s worth checking the island’s agenda in advance: concerts, theatre, exhibitions, markets, festivals.

A very practical reference is Ocio en Menorca, where you can browse the cultural calendar:

Quick idea: match your travel dates with a concert, performance, or festival—it can make Mahón the perfect base for your stay.
