Biarritz is very pedestrianised, and it is easy to get around the town centre, to the beaches, and to the best spots for surfing or shopping. This means whatever your holiday needs is a short and pleasant walking distance away. However, it can be quite hilly in places. By bus

Cheaper multiple journey tickets are also available, but cannot be bought on the bus. Bus 6 leaves from the aiport to the centre every 15-20 minutes. There is no bus between the train station and the airport, but its a straightforward 40 minute walk. See
