    Menorca Urlaub Tipps

    Mahon is often seen in english holiday literature as the name for the island's capital. The correct name though is Maó (prenounced 'Maow') and will be used in local literature,maps,road signs and on buses/timetables.

    Tourist Offices

    Provide free local and island maps, other tourist literatures and advice. Some island attraction tickets can only be purchased form tourist offices. Will have a printed sheet with what's on this week in several languages.

    Getting Around and Transfers from sea and airports

    There has an island wide bus network in addition to taxis and local transport services. Note that there are very few coastal roads so you will travel inland and then back out to the coast. This is due to most of the island being in private ownership and helps preserve the island from over development and spoiling of the beautiful natural coastlines.

    Drinking Water

    The water from the taps (unless otherwise marked 'non potable') is fine to drink but will probably have a chemical taste in the background. Bottled water is cheap and universally available. 'con gas' is carbonated.

    Useful Telephone Numbers




    Konsulaten

    Might be able to help you in the event of a lost passport where you need a temporary one to re-enter a country not in Schengen zone. Lost passports should be reported to police at airport for necessary administration procedures.
