Getting There & Away
BUS
Most buses stop by the train station. Bus routes include 5/X5 to Caernarfon (1ΒΌ hours),
Bangor (30 minutes) and Llandudno (22 minutes); 15 to Llandudno (21 minutes); and 19
to Llandudno (22 minutes) and Betws-y-Coed (one hour).
CAR & MOTORCYCLE
Through-traffic bypasses Conwy on the A55 via a tunnel under the river. The main road
into town from Bangor skirts the outside of the town walls before cutting inside the walls,
crawling along Berry and Castle Sts, and heading across the road bridge. The rest of the
narrow grid within the walls has a one-way system and restricted parking during the day.
There are pay-and-display car parks on Mount Pleasant, and by the castle. If you're
after a free park and don't mind a 10-minute walk, turn right off Bangor Rd on the second
to last street before you reach the town walls, cross the narrow rail bridge and park on res-
idential Cadnant Park.
