Getting ashore
Ships dock at the Passeig Marítim. The walk into the centre is long, and the old town is up a hill. A City Boat runs about every 15 minutes from a jetty about 200 metres from the terminal, and takes you to the centre for a small fare. Buy tickets at the terminal or on board, and check the timetable on the day.
Watch-outs
Dalt Vila, the walled old town, is very hilly and cobbled. A taxi is the best choice for getting up there. Ibiza is a party island, and the bars around Sa Marina and the old harbour are busy late into the night, which can affect the next day’s schedule. Keep your return time in view.
Dalt Vila
The walled old town is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Its cathedral, the Museu Monogràfic, and the Puig des Molins necropolis, with its Phoenician-Punic tombs, are the main sights. The views from the walls over the harbour are the reason to go.
Sa Penya and the marina
The Sa Penya district has narrow lanes, bars and music. The marina at the base of the rock is lined with cafés and restaurants. Sunset is a popular time to be on the seafront, with views to the sea.
Beaches and island
Cala Comte and Cala Bassa are among the best-known beaches, reached by bus or taxi. Es Vedrà, the small island off the west coast, is one of the most photographed views, and boat tours go close to it. Boat trips from the harbour cover the coves.
Food & shopping
Ibiza offers Mediterranean food, with a focus on fresh fish and local bread. Restaurants in Sa Penya and the marina are the easiest to find. Shops in Dalt Vila and along the old streets sell crafts and clothing.
Money & connectivity
The currency is the euro. Cards are accepted in most places, and ATMs are common in the town centre.
Accessibility & mobility
The port and the City Boat are level. The old town is hilly and cobbled, and Dalt Vila involves steep slopes and steps. Taxis can drop you at the top gate. Beach trips may involve sand and steps, so check the access before booking.
