A closer look

Begin around Ciudad Vieja and Plaza Independencia, then choose a museum, market or neighbourhood walk. The city deserves time beyond the ferry terminal.

Give the place its own time

Give the rambla its own pause and choose meals around your interests. Confirm current museum hours and the actual departure terminal for onward travel.

Give the day room to unfold

Choose one main outing for each day and leave time for meals and the journey back. Confirm access, transport and any guided arrangements before setting out.
