Things to do on Ibiza

The port area itself is full of bars and restaurants and the shops remain open until midnight, reasons that make it one of the liveliest areas of the island.

Ibiza City - Located in the south of the island, Ibiza is especially known for its lively nightlife 

Dalt Vila the old quarter

Located in the upper part of the city, the old quarter known as Dalt Vila is surrounded by a wall built in the 16th century to protect the city from pirates and Ottomans

The steep cobbled streets of Dalt Vila are full of small whitewashed houses, walk to the highest point where  there are exceptional views. In this area there lots of restaurants.

Cathedral of the Virgen de las Nieves (13th century)

The Ibiza Cathedral, located at the highest point of the walled city of Dalt Vila and is one of the most characteristic symbols of the island, on a clear day you will be able to see the island of Formentera.   The Cathedral is an architectural mix, since although originally built as a Gothic temple, only the tower retains in this style. The subsequent construction of the city's Renaissance walls endangered the stability of the Cathedral and it has since been remodeled in the Baroque style.

Its official name is the  Cathedral of Santa María or Virgen de las Nieves and it has a curious history. Before the Catalan conquest in 1235, the Christian troops took the oath that they would dedicate a temple to the Virgin. After the troops entered the city on August 8, they decided to dedicate a temple to the Virgen de las Nieves due to its proximity to its name day, which was on August 5th.  On August 5th, Santa María is celebrated as the Patron Saint of Ibiza and it is a holiday throughout the island (in addition, on August 8th it is a holiday in the city of Ibiza). Plaza de la Vila the bastions of the wall (great views)

Plaça de Vila

This is the biggest open area inside the fortified town, after the Portal de Ses Taules and the Portcullis. This square, that is tranquil and solitary in winter, becomes a vibrant and bright space, full of terraces, restaurants, boutiques and art galleries in summer.

Iglesia de santo Domingo Church of Santo Sunday (16th century)

Town Hall , located in an old Dominican Convent.

The former Dominican monastery has been the home of the Eivissa City Council since 1838.

This monastery was one of the last ones founded by the Dominican monks in the Balearic Islands during the 16th century. The monastery was first located in the village of Jesús, in the premises of the parish church until it was relocated to within the city walls in 1587. The following year, the premises bought by the Universitat (the regional autonomous government at the time) were handed over in a formal ceremony for the construction of the monastery, which lasted throughout the 17th century. By 1674, the cloisters were still not finished and the monks did not have comfortable rooms.

The community of monks was dissolved in 1835, the building passed into state property and became the site for the City Hall, prison and other services.

Having undergone various necessary alterations due to usage requirements, today’s building preserves only one of the monastery’s cloisters and the former refectory, which was previously used for the plenary meetings of the Council. This room has a barrel vault decorated with painted murals and is today the temporary home of the Eivissa Contemporary Art Museum.

San Antonio

Called Portus Magnus in Roman times due to the remarkable breadth of its bay, San Antonio (Sant Antoni de Portmany) is an old peasant and fishermen town that has become one of the main tourist centers of Ibiza.  This area has a wonderful promenade which is a pleasant place to walk during the months of May, June, September and October. During July and August it fills up with young foreigners looking for a party.

One of the most peculiar places in San Antonio at night is Calle de Santa Agnes, a meeting place where during the night, this street becomes busy with people in costume looking for a party

Las Salinas Beach (Platja Ses Salines) is one of the best known and busiest in Ibiza

Las Salinas Beach owes its name to the large expanse of land in the south of the island where the sea is allowed in to allow the water to evaporate and obtain salt. Next to the beach, the only train tracks on the island that the trains that transported the salt circulated years ago still remain.

Cueva can marsa

Located in a beautiful natural enclave in the north of Ibiza, Can Marçà is an impressive cave more than 100,000 years old, located inside a cliff in Port de Sant Miquel.

The cave was discovered by groups of smugglers who used it to hide their goods in the past and you can still see the marks which they used to marked the entrance and exit. Since the 80s the cave has become one of the important tourist destinations on the island.

One of the most important parts of the visit takes place during the outdoor walk on the beautiful cliffs that leads visitors to the entrance.
