Tourist Spots
See AllPlaza de los Naranjos – The Historic Heart of Marbella Located in the heart of Marbella’s Old Town, Plaza de los Naranjos (Orange Tree Square) is one of the most iconic and picturesque spots in the city. Dating back to 1485, the square was established after the Christian Reconquest and has been the social and administrative center of Marbella ever since.What to SeeTown Hall (Casa Consistorial): A beautiful Renaissance-style building from the 16th century, still in use today.Casa del Corregidor: A charming historic building with elements of Gothic, Renaissance, and Mudéjar styles.Chapel of Santiago: The oldest religious building in Marbella, located right on the square.Central Fountain: Surrounded by orange trees (which give the plaza its name), the stone fountain adds to the square’s traditional Andalusian charm.Atmosphere & ExperienceThis vibrant square is surrounded by whitewashed buildings, colorful flowers, and narrow cobbled streets. It's a perfect place to enjoy:Outdoor cafés and terrace restaurantsA coffee in the sun or dinner under the starsStreet performers and a lively local vibe, especially in the eveningsPlaza de los Naranjos offers a blend of history, culture, and leisure — making it a must-visit for any traveler in Marbella.Avenida del mar This short avenue, which connects Alameda Park with the Promenade, captivates visitors with ten bronze sculptures designed by the brilliant artist Salvador Dalí, transforming it into a small open-air museum.Old town Getting lost in the maze of narrow streets in the Old Town —with its Arab layout and Andalusian architecture— and discovering all its magical corners is one of the best things to do in Marbella.As you wander through streets like Caballeros, Remedios, Estación, Álamo, and Soledad, among many others, you’ll fall in love with the immaculate white houses, balconies overflowing with flowers and bougainvillea, local craft shops, traditional taverns where you can enjoy a drink with a tapa, and cozy spots to try some of the region’s culinary specialties.Calle Ancha Another of our favorite places to see in Marbella is Calle Ancha, which leads to the beautiful Plaza de Santo Cristo, presided over by the Ermita del Santo Cristo de la Vera Cruz.This elegant 19th-century street, which once connected the historic center with the northern part of town, is known for its noble houses with large balconies, coats of arms carved into the façades, and flower-filled terraces.When you reach Plaza de Santo Cristo, you’ll find a 15th-century hermitage, a charming central fountain, and possibly the best flamenco tablao in the city: La Casa de Ana María Los Chatos.Promenade and beach From the central marina to the entrance of Puerto Banús, Marbella’s seafront promenade stretches for approximately six kilometers along the urban coastline, offering a journey through the many faces of the city. Lined with palm trees, this paved walkway captures both the heritage of the old fishing village and the elegance of modern, international Marbella — a seamless blend that unfolds through beaches, sculptures, gardens, beach bars, and stately villas.First inaugurated in the mid-20th century and gradually expanded over the decades, the promenade has become one of the most iconic and cherished public spaces in the city. Its tiles have borne the footsteps of Andalusian fishermen and Central European aristocrats alike, as well as sophisticated tourists in wide-brimmed hats and early morning joggers catching the golden light of dawn.Today, it stands as a privileged showcase of Marbella’s unique lifestyle: cosmopolitan yet laid-back, deeply connected to the sea, and always true to its roots.Marbella Walls From Plaza del Santo Cristo, you can descend again along Calle Ancha and cross the narrow Calle Príncipe until you reach the area of Calle Arte and Salinas, where the walls of the ancient Alcazaba are located—one of the most interesting places to visit in Marbella.Built between the 11th and 12th centuries during the reign of Abd al-Rahman III, the ruins of this fortress are the most significant remnants of the Muslim civilization preserved in the city, impressing visitors with its imposing walls and defensive towers.At the end of Calle Salinas, you will find the fascinating Museum of Contemporary Spanish Engraving, housed in a beautiful 16th-century Renaissance building and featuring a collection of over 4,000 works.Church Santa María de la Encarnación This temple, built in the early 17th century, is notable for its façade featuring a magnificent red stone rococo-style entrance and a tower over 50 meters tall. Inside, it houses the splendid Órgano del Sol Mayor and a baroque-style altarpiece.Upon leaving the church, you can explore the narrow surrounding streets such as Soledad, Alderete, Caridad, and Misericordia, finishing your walk at the Chapel of San Juan de Dios—a charming chapel that was once part of the old Royal Hospital, constructed by the Catholic Monarchs after the city’s conquest.Puerto Banús Located 6 kilometers from the city center, Puerto Banús is one of the most exclusive areas in all of Europe.In this glamorous marina, reminiscent of Saint Tropez, you will find luxurious yachts of impressive size, high-end cars, exclusive boutiques, and lively nightclubs.In addition to strolling along the harbor to the Mirador del Muelle de Honor, you can enjoy a swim at Puerto Banús beach and visit the lighthouse, from where you will have excellent views of La Concha peak.Sport Port of Marbella Marbella’s Sport Port is a vibrant and lively marina located close to the city center, offering a perfect blend of leisure, luxury, and maritime charm.
