Start the day with a relaxing stroll through the charming streets of Marbella's Old Town. Admire the Andalusian architecture and colorful flowers hanging from every balcony. Visit the Plaza de los Naranjos and try some traditional Spanish tapas in one of the many restaurants that surround the square.
Head to the glitzy marina of Puerto Banus for a day of luxury shopping and people-watching. Grab a coffee at one of the waterfront cafes and enjoy the stunning views of the yachts and sea. For lunch, try one of the many seafood restaurants in the area.
Take a leisurely day off and unwind on the beautiful beaches of Marbella. Rent a sun lounger or umbrella and soak up the sun as you listen to the sound of waves lapping the shore. If you feel hungry, look no further than chiringuitos - beach bars that offer delicious fresh food and drinks.
Walking is the best way to get around Marbella Old Town, but consider taking a bus or taxi to Puerto Banus and the beach. The bus fare is €1.18, and a taxi ride costs €20-30.
If you have more time, consider a day trip to the Ronda mountainside town, famous for the Puente Nuevo bridge over the river canyon or visiting another nearby beach. If you have less time, you can combine the Puerto Banus and Siesta on Beach activities into one day.
The primary airport serving Marbella is Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP), located approximately 56 km northeast of the city centre. Taxis from the airport to Marbella cost around €80, or you can take a train or bus for less than €10.
