Hop on and off the Malaga tourist bus to visit the main sights of Malaga.
By Dee McMath
A great way to get your bearings around Malaga City and to take in the best sights in the process is to go on the Offical Tour bus. It’s easy to spot since it is the only red double decker with open roof bus you are likely to see in this part of the world. Your ticket is valid for 24 hours, so you can stop off along the way and carry on the tour later. There are 12 stops, starting at the Main Bus Station. The second stop is by the main Post Office building (opposite the large El Corte Ingles department store), where tours start from 09:00 and thereafter half past and on the hour until the last tour at 20:00 hrs. With multilingual commentary through headphones, you see the sights while hearing Malaga’s history - click here for more on Malaga’s history. You’ll see the Port, Malagueta Beach, the Bullring, Gibralfaro Castle, Picasso’s birthplace, the Alcazaba and the Cathedral (and more).
You may be surprised how historically interesting and compact Malaga is. The whole tour takes around an hour and a half and the price is 15€ for adults and 7€ for children from 4 – 14 years. The ticket also allows you to take another bus from the Main Bus Station and gain free entrance to the stunning Botanical Gardens Finca la Concepcion on the north side of the city. (Gardens close Mondays).
Some disruption may occur to the timetable during the week of the Malaga Feria (fair) in August.
