Note that these timetables may vary throughout the year and during holidays so please contact the bus companies in advance to avoid disappointment.
How to get passes
There are several fare options available. Tickets (multi and single journey) can be purchased in advance from an Envibus outlet or at an automatic ticket dispenser. Single journey tickets can also be bought directly from the bus driver.
Single journeys costs €1 and if you return within the hour you can use the same ticket. When you get on the bus you need to give your final destination, rather than the stop that you are travelling to on that particular bus. The driver will then ensure that your ticket is valid for your whole journey so you won't need to buy a new ticket when you change buses.
A 10-trip pass is available for a reduced rate of €8, or if you are going to use the bus regularly during your visit then you can get a 7-day ticket for €10, giving you unlimited travel for a week.
Family passes are also available for up to 5 family members, with at least one child under 18, for just €5 for the whole day.
