If you look at the map of Biarritz with hotels, you will notice that most of them are located along the sea coast (in the area of the Maritime Museum). These are comfortable hotels, luxurious villas, expensive apartments.
Prices here, of course, are not the most democratic, so if you want to stay near the ocean, look for two-star hotels with access to the beach on the map of Biarritz. To be well oriented on the terrain, download a tourist map of Biarritz in Russian, where the main attractions of the city are marked.
Conventionally, Biarritz can be divided into three areas where it is better to live tourists: the coastal zone, "bedroom" neighborhoods on the outskirts and the central part of the city. The district in the center of Biarritz is attractive due to its proximity to famous restaurants and stores, as well as good transport links. The beach area is suitable for those who are interested in passive vacation "hotel-beach" or tourists with small children (to the ocean - a short walk).
In what area of Biarritz to stop vacationers with a limited budget? Only on the outskirts, away from the city center. Here you can rent a room or apartment from locals at an affordable price. The only disadvantage is additional travel expenses. Although you can always choose a place from where it is convenient to walk to the beach. There are no dangerous areas in Biarritz: the French police work perfectly.
