The city of Málaga has various popular streets and corners, both for their historical and cultural value and for their leisure offerings. Calle Larios, Plaza de la Constitución, Calle Santa María, and Plaza del Obispo are some of the city's most popular spots. To truly understand all these corners, nothing beats taking a Free Tour that covers the most important parts of the city, with the best times being after breakfast or lunch. Another option, ideal if you're interested in learning more about the interiors of monuments and some monumental corners in greater detail, is to take the Historic Center and Málaga Cathedral Tour.
For lunch, we recommend the bars and restaurants near the Cathedral and in the Paseo del Parque area. This part of the city is home to places where the food is of high quality, and there are various spots suitable for all budgets.
After lunch and spending the afternoon strolling through shopping streets like the popular Calle Larios, we recommend taking a Night Free Tour. On this route, you will discover Málaga's most popular corners at night, offering a different experience than during the day and providing a unique perspective once the night falls.
For dinner, we recommend any of the beach bars or restaurants near the port. They all offer fried dishes and other typical quality plates, along with stunning views of the Mediterranean. If you feel like it, you can also enjoy some of the pubs and venues in the area after dinner.
Málaga is renowned for its museums and cultural offerings. Therefore, for your second day in the city, we suggest visiting the Picasso Museum in Málaga with an expert guide. This is a unique art center worldwide through which you will understand the life and works of Pablo Picasso.
After this cultural walk, you can head to the Atarazanas Market, where you will enjoy its unique architecture, the typical Mercantile activity of Málaga, and its exquisite gastronomy. Once your visit is complete, you can take the opportunity to have lunch at one of its bars or restaurants, trying Málaga's products and recipes.
There are other valuable museums in the city that you can visit to conclude your day and cultural visit. The Centre Pompidou, the Málaga Museum (Fine Arts Museum and Provincial Archaeological Museum), the Carmen Thyssen Museum, or the Contemporary Art Center (CAC). The latter, the CAC, is located in the Soho neighborhood, a modern and artistic area where you can stroll and have dinner at a local restaurant or brewery.
Beyond what has been discussed for the two days, we offer some alternative activities that are truly interesting if you visit Málaga, allowing you to tailor your visit based on the activities that attract you the most or best fit your needs, based on the proposed guide.
