Are you thinking about travelling to Malaga for a weekend and don’t know how you can manage to discover the most emblematic places of this city in such a short time? Well, you’re in the right place: here we will give you some recommendations on the best places to visit.

It’s obvious that two days is not enough time to get to know a city, and especially one like Malaga, so it’s necessary to carefully select which places you’ll visit and which you’ll have to leave for another time. Only then can you make the most of your trip.

To help you with this task, we’ve prepared a list with our recommendations of places we think you can’t miss out on.

Places in Malaga you just can’t miss

We’ll prepare two routes, one for each day:

The first day

Morning

On the first day of your trip, you have to make room in your schedule to enjoy the Gibralfaro Castle , which has exceptional architecture and will give you beautiful views of the city and the whole Costa del Sol. The history of this castle is also very interesting, so we recommend you don’t miss out.

After this tour, we recommend you visit the old Plaza Mayor, located in the historic centre of Malaga. Also Constitution Square, one of the most emblematic places in the city which you cannot miss on your itinerary.

Afternoon

After lunch, we recommend you visit the Plaza de la Merced, which is located close to the city centre and you’ll also pass by other tourist and cultural destinations in the city.

Among the most interesting places which you can discover in the square, we can highlight the Fundación Picasso Museo Casa Natal , the house where Pablo Picasso was born, and the obelisk in homage of General Torrijos. When you finish, you can eat nearby.

Night

At night we encourage you to take a walk through the centre, observe the Cathedral of Malaga lit up and enjoy the incredible local cuisine by having some tapas in the nearby bars.

The second day

Morning

On your second morning in the city, it’s essential you visit the Roman Theatre of Malaga, discovered in 1951, during an excavation of the House of Culture’s gardens. The tiers of this theatre are more than 30 metres in radius and more than 16 metres high.

Afternoon

After lunch, in the mid-afternoon, it would be worthwhile visiting the inside of the Cathedral of Malaga. It’s located in the Plaza del Obispo, and is one of the most beautiful cathedrals you can find in all of Europe. That’s why it’s commonly referred to as “one of the gems of Spanish Renaissance architecture.”

Night

To end your trip with a good taste in your
mouth, we recommend you have dinner at one of the Muelle Uno themed
restaurants. You’ll find something for all tastes and discover an unbeatable
atmosphere.

You still don’t dare to make a flying visit to
the capital of the Costa
del Sol? We guarantee that you’ll be surprised.
