Ibiza’s old town, Dalt Vila, sits behind thick 16th-century stone walls built to keep pirates and invaders out. It’s now a UNESCO World Heritage site, and wandering its narrow, cobbled streets feels like stepping into another time. Climb up to the cathedral at the top for wide views over the harbour and sea, or enter through the impressive main gate—Portal de ses Taules—just near the old market. The place has a history in every corner, but it’s also full of quiet spots, galleries, and the occasional bar tucked away in the side streets.
The Castell d'Eivissa, or Ibiza Castle, crowns the summit of Dalt Vila, Ibiza's historic old town. This fortress is a complex of structures reflecting centuries of architectural evolution. Key components include the Moorish-era Tower of Homage, the 8th-century Almudaina keep, the Governor's House, and 18th-century infantry barracks. The castle's strategic position offers commanding views of the surrounding area. While the castle's interior isn't fully open to visitors, exploring its exterior and the surrounding area offers a rewarding experience. The climb up through Dalt Vila's winding streets leads to stunning panoramic views of Ibiza Town and the sea.
Spend an unforgettable day aboard a double-decker glass-bottomed catamaran and experience Ibiza's natural wonders on this fun five-hour cruise. Stop at two of the most stunning beaches on Ibiza's west coast, Cala Bassa and Cala Conta. Swim, snorkel, paddle board, dive from the diving board, see what lies beneath the sea from the glass-bottomed viewing area, or simply unwind and enjoy the sun.
Once used by smugglers moving tobacco and alcohol along the coast, this cave in the cliffs of Puerto de San Miguel is now open for guided tours. Inside, you'll find stalactites, stalagmites, and a recreated waterfall that gives you an idea of what the original underground water flow looked like. As you descend, the path winds through the cave with views out to sea. Tours run hourly from 10:30 until sunset, year-round.
Ibiza’s warm, clear waters are great for diving, whether you’re a beginner or looking for something more advanced. Around the island you’ll find everything from shallow reefs and underwater caves to shipwrecks. Some of the best spots include the Don Pedro wreck near Ibiza Town and the cave systems off Cala Llonga. Diving schools are easy to find near most major beaches, and many offer PADI courses if you’re looking to get certified while you’re here.
Perched atop Dalt Vila, Ibiza's historic old town, the cathedral offers panoramic views over the city and sea. Originally built in the 14th century on the site of a former mosque, it showcases a blend of architectural styles: a Gothic bell tower and a Baroque nave with 14 side chapels. Inside, the Diocesan Museum houses religious art and artefacts spanning from the 14th to the 20th centuries.
Just a short ferry from Ibiza, Formentera feels slower, smaller, and more stripped-back. Most people come for the beaches—Illetes, Llevant, and Cala Saona are the best known, with pale sand and ridiculously clear water. From the port of La Savina, you can rent a bike, scooter or car to explore the rest of the island. A quick stop at the tourist office will get you a free map. If you’re into history, check out the Ca Na Costa megalithic site. For a proper view, head up to Es Mirador for lunch or a drink.
What started in the 1970s as a small gathering of artists and travellers has grown into the biggest market on the island. Held every Wednesday in Es Canar, it’s packed with stalls selling handmade jewellery, clothes, leather goods, and crafts. It gets busy, but that’s part of the vibe—music, food stalls, and plenty of colour. Worth a wander, even if you’re not looking to buy anything.

Las Dalias is one of Ibiza’s most well-known markets and worth checking out, even if you’re not big on shopping. It’s packed with handmade stuff, such as jewellery, clothes, soaps, leather goods, and more. There’s usually a DJ playing, a few food stalls, and the occasional pop-up bar, so it’s easy to hang around for a while.
La Galería Elefante, just outside Santa Gertrudis, boasts a mix of handmade clothing, textiles, ceramics, books, and vintage finds—all with a relaxed, boho style that fits Ibiza perfectly. Most of what you’ll see is either made locally or sourced from small makers around the world.
Holala! is a long-running vintage shop in Ibiza Town, known for its curated mix of second-hand clothes, old-school Levi’s, band tees, and retro home goods. They source stuff from flea markets around the world, so it’s not your average thrift shop. If you’re into vintage or just want something a bit different from the usual beachwear, it’s worth a look.
ReVOLVER is a go-to spot in Ibiza Town for fashion that’s a bit louder and more offbeat than what you’ll find elsewhere on the island. They stock edgy, design-forward labels—stuff that leans more streetwear than beachwear—with a focus on individuality and bold looks. It’s not cheap, but if you’re into fashion and want something you won’t see on everyone else, this place is worth a look.
Sant Jordi Flea Market is one of the best flea markets on the island, held every Saturday morning at the old hippodrome (horse racing track) in the village of Sant Jordi, just south of Ibiza Town. Vendors sell a variety of items, including second-hand goods, vintage clothing, antiques, books, records, handicrafts, and more. The atmosphere is lively, often featuring spontaneous musical performances by local musicians. There's also a small bar on-site offering drinks and snacks.

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is located about 7 km southwest of Ibiza Town, with a typical drive taking 10–15 minutes, depending on traffic. Travellers have several transport options to reach the city centre: the L10 bus runs every 20–30 minutes and gets you to the city in about 25 minutes for a few euros. Taxis are readily available outside the terminal. And for more comfort or if you're in a group, there are also pre-booked shuttles, private transfers, and car hire desks at the airport.
The best time to visit Ibiza depends on what you’re after. The party season kicks off in early May and runs through to late September, with some clubs starting as early as April and closing in early October. July and August are the hottest and busiest months—great if you’re into packed beach clubs and all-night parties. For something a little more relaxed, June and September are ideal: the weather’s still warm, the sea’s perfect for swimming, and the crowds are thinner.
Citizens of the European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA) countries do not need a visa to enter Spain, only a valid ID. Many other countries, including the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, the United Arab Emirates, Australia, and New Zealand, benefit from visa-free entry for short stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period. Visitors from visa-exempt countries must hold a valid passport and, starting in late 2025, will need to apply for an ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorisation System) authorisation online before travelling. For those requiring a visa, such as travellers from some Middle Eastern, African or Asian nations, a Schengen visa must be obtained prior to arrival. All travellers should ensure their passport is valid for at least three months beyond their intended stay.
Public transport in Ibiza is limited to buses, which connect major towns like Ibiza Town, San Antonio, and Santa Eulalia, as well as many beaches, making it a practical option for tourists. During the summer months, Ibiza operates the Disco Bus, a night bus service connecting major clubs and resorts. The service typically runs from midnight until 6:30am, with buses departing every 30 to 45 minutes. Water taxis also run between coastal spots such as San Antonio, Cala Bassa, and Cala Conta, offering a scenic alternative. For frequent travellers, the T-20 saver ticket provides discounted fares on multiple journeys.
Taxis are generally easy to find in Ibiza, especially during the summer when the fleet expands to meet the seasonal demand. You can hail one on the street, head to a taxi rank, or book in advance by phone. The TaxiClick app is widely used and allows you to request a ride and track your driver. Uber also operates on the island, offering services like Uber Comfort and Uber Van.
Post offices in Ibiza, operated by Correos, generally open from 8:30am to 2:30pm on weekdays, though hours can vary by location. The main post office in Ibiza Town is conveniently situated at Avinguda d'Isidor Macabich, 67, making it easily accessible for travellers. Services include sending and receiving letters and parcels, purchasing stamps, and handling international shipments. Some branches also offer additional services like money transfers. For basic postal needs, stamps are also available at tobacconists (estancos), identifiable by their brown and yellow 'Tabacs' signs.
