Las Palmas 24-Hour Hop-On Hop-Off Bus

Gran Canaria has been part of Spain since the fifteenth century, when the Spanish conquered the island’s aboriginal inhabitants. The Spanish forces were based in what became Las Palmas, so the city is the island’s oldest European settlement and its post-conquest history stretches back more than five centuries.
On this fascinating hop-on hop-off bus tour, you’ll be able to discover the different sides of this multi-faceted city. The tour starts right in the centre, by Parque Santa Catalina. If you fancy a spot of shopping, hop off at El Corte Ingles, the local branch of Spain’s leading department store. Another great place to stop is the Alfredo Kraus Auditorium. This stunning modern building hosts world-class concerts, so it’s always good to check what’s on.
For something a little more traditional, make sure you visit Vegueta, which is the first neighbourhood that was built in the city more than 500 years ago. It’s an attractive area full of beautiful old buildings and atmospheric marrow streets. The Vegueta Market is a particular highlight. With your free included Vegueta Walking Tour, you’ll be able to learn all about this historic barrio.
The Muelle Deportivo is a great place to hop off and watch the world (and its boats) go by. It’s here that many of the yachts and boats that come to visit the island dock. And just beside it is a delightful little beach called Playa de las Alcaravaneras. For a bigger beach, we recommend hopping off at Playa de las Canteras. An hour or two there will be more than enough to recharge your batteries.
