One day in Ibiza

Day by day

1. Day 1: Dalt Vila and Ibiza Cathedral

   Dalt Vila, Ibiza Cathedral, Puig des Molins and Museum of Contemporary Art (MACE), then Sant Antoni Sunset Strip in the evening.

   1. Morning

      Dalt Vila

      Walk up in the morning or at sunset to avoid the midday heat, and follow the walls around the bastions for the best views. Allow 2–3 hours.

   2. Late morning

      Ibiza Cathedral

      Visit at the end of your walk up through Dalt Vila and then follow the walls back down. Allow 30 minutes.

   3. Lunch

      Lunch: Bullit de peix

      Seafood restaurants on the coast, especially in fishing coves; often ordered a day ahead.

   4. Afternoon

      Puig des Molins

      Combine it with Dalt Vila; it is a five-minute walk from the old town walls. Allow 1 hour.

   5. Late afternoon

      Museum of Contemporary Art (MACE)

      A cool stop on a hot afternoon in Dalt Vila; combine with the cathedral. Allow 45 minutes.

   6. Evening

      Sant Antoni Sunset Strip

      Arrive an hour before sunset for a seat, or sit on the rocks between bars for free.

If it rains

• Swap in Cova de Can Marçà (North coast): Combine it with a swim at Port de Sant Miquel or Benirràs nearby.

Where to stay for this itinerary

Pace and daylight

The sights in this plan add up to roughly 6–7 hours of visiting over one day, before meals and getting between them. Daylight runs from about 9.4 hours in December to 14.9 hours in June, so in winter start early and keep museums for the afternoon.

Getting between stops: Bus. Island buses connect Ibiza Town, Sant Antoni, Santa Eulària, Platja d'en Bossa and the airport, with extra summer routes to many beaches and late-night services to the main clubs.
