Tourist attractions and landmarks
Málaga packs an enormous amount of history into a walkable old town: the Roman theatre at the foot of the Alcazaba, the imposing Gibralfaro castle, the Picasso birthplace, the Cathedral with its famous one-armed silhouette. Beyond the headline sights, the city's contemporary art scene rivals Madrid's — the Centre Pompidou Málaga and CAC Málaga both punch well above their weight.
Use this directory to plan a sensible route. Most of the central attractions sit within a 20-minute walk of each other, so a single day with comfortable shoes covers a lot of ground. We list opening hours, ticket links, and accessibility notes for each, and flag the days when you can enter for free.
