Public Transport

The historic centre of Bath is compact, and all the sights and attractions in the city centre are easily reached on foot. There is a good bus network, however, covering both the centre and stretching out to the city's environs. First Somerset and Avon (tel: 0845 606 4446; website: www.firstgroup.com) is the largest bus operator in Bath and North East Somerset, operating city, inter-urban and rural services. For its services within Bath, the company sells single tickets, day tickets and week tickets (the latter being a good option for visitors staying more than three days).

Taxis

Among the city's taxi companies, Abbey Taxis (tel: (01225) 444 444 or 444 446), Airport & Bath Chauffeuring Services (tel: (01225) 422 365 or 07836 504 200; website: www.bath.co.uk/abcs) and Bath Taxis (tel: (01225) 447 777; website: www.bathtaxis.co.uk) can be recommended.

Driving in the City

Those going to Bath for a whole day or more should use the city's Park and Ride facilities, i.e. park their car in a car park outside of town and use one of the frequent bus services connecting these car parks with the city centre. These out-of-town car parks are all signposted along the roads leading into Bath.

Car Hire

Car rental is offered by Alamo (tel: (01225) 481 898; website: www.alamo.com), Enterprise (tel: (01225) 443 311; website: www.enterprise.com), Hertz (tel: 0870 850 2691; website: www.hertz.com) and National Car Rental (tel: (01225) 481 898; website: www.nationalcar.com).

Bicycle Hire

Bicycle hire is currently not available in the city. Bicycles can be hired from The Bath & Dundas Canal Company (tel: (01225) 722 292; website: www.bathcanal.com) at Monkton Combe by the Somerset Canal some 8km (5 miles) from Bath.
