Finding Blackpool Tower
Blackpool Tower stands in the town centre, with its entrance on Bank Hey Street and a tram stop on the Promenade.
VisitBlackpool’s Visitor Information Centre is on the tower’s ground floor. It sells tickets for Blackpool attractions, theatres and show venues, as well as National Express, Blackpool Transport trams and buses, and coach excursions.
The tower is a useful point to start a town-centre visit. To fit it into a wider day, you can use how to spend one day in Blackpool from the south seafront as a route-planning companion.
Tower attractions and the Ballroom
The tower’s attractions include the Ballroom, Circus, Dungeons and Eye.
The Blackpool Tower Ballroom is one of the tower’s named attractions, alongside the Circus, Dungeons and Eye. You can plan around the Ballroom as part of a tower visit, then continue to the other attractions that suit your day.
For a seafront-focused outing, the tower also works as a stop between the town centre and the piers. The guide to Blackpool’s North, Central and South Piers covers the three pier landmarks.

How do you get from the south seafront to Blackpool Tower?
The tram is a direct way to travel from the seafront towards the tower: Blackpool Tower has a stop on the Promenade.
Blackpool’s tramway runs between Starr Gate and Fleetwood and connects with Blackpool North railway station. At Blackpool North, the tram stop is by the station; follow the underpass on the right when leaving the railway station to reach it.
The extension up Talbot Road brought trams back to the road after 60 years and added 600 metres of track, allowing services to terminate at Blackpool North and return towards Starr Gate or Fleetwood. Blackpool Council identifies buses, trams, rail, taxis and coaches as public-transport options around the resort.
If you’re staying at Chadberry House’s bed and breakfast rooms, Blackpool city centre is about 25 minutes on foot or 8 minutes by car from the hotel. From there, the tower and its Promenade tram stop are straightforward points to include in a town-centre route.
