Our pick of the best things to do in Malaga

Whether you live in the city or fancy a getaway, Malaga always has something new to offer. Birthplace of Picasso and home to more than seven centuries of history within its walls, the capital of the Costa del Sol blends history, art and food right by the Mediterranean Sea.

Culture and heritage: Malaga's must-sees

Even if you already know them by sight, these key spots in the city are always worth another visit. From the Arab fortress of the Alcazaba to the museums dedicated to Picasso, these are places that never lose their appeal, whether you're showing them to a visitor or rediscovering them yourself.

Alcazaba and Malaga Cathedral

The Alcazaba, an 11th-century Arab fortress, offers privileged views over the harbour and is one of the best-preserved Islamic military complexes in Spain. Just a few steps away stands the Cathedral, affectionately known as "la Manquita" for its unfinished tower.

Exploring both monuments lets you trace centuries of history, from Muslim rule to the Spanish Renaissance, right in the heart of the city's historic centre.

  • Price: from €3.50
  • Address: Calle Alcazabilla, 2, 29012 Malaga
  • Hours: 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM (varies by season)

Picasso Museum Malaga

The Picasso Museum houses one of the most important collections of the Malaga-born artist's work, spanning pieces from his early years to his most experimental period, housed in a beautiful 16th-century palace.

The visit helps you understand the context behind each piece and uncover little-known stories about the painter's life in his hometown, a must for art lovers and the simply curious alike.

  • Price: from €12
  • Address: Palacio de Buenavista, C. San Agustín, 8, 29015 Malaga

Pablo Picasso's Birthplace

On Plaza de la Merced stands the house where Picasso was born in 1881, now turned into a small museum that holds personal belongings, family photographs and works from his earliest artistic period.

It's a brief but very thorough visit to understand the artist's origins and his connection to the city, perfect to pair with the Picasso Museum on the same day.

  • Price: €4

Centre Pompidou Málaga

Housed in a striking coloured glass cube on the city's harbour, the Centre Pompidou Málaga is the first outpost of this French museum outside France, with a modern and contemporary art collection that's constantly refreshed.

The building itself is already a visual attraction, visible from much of the seafront promenade, a perfect stop to combine contemporary art with a stroll by the sea.

  • Hours: 9:30 AM to 8:00 PM (closed Tuesdays)

Carmen Thyssen Museum Málaga

The Carmen Thyssen Museum holds a remarkable collection of 19th-century Spanish painting, with a special focus on costumbrista and Andalusian art, set in an elegant palace in the historic centre.

It's a perfect visit for anyone wanting to go deeper into Spanish art beyond Picasso, an ideal cultural complement to the city's contemporary art visits.

Calle Alcazabilla and the Roman Theatre

At the foot of the Alcazaba lies the Roman Theatre of Malaga, the city's oldest monument, built in the 1st century BC and discovered by chance in 1951 during construction work.

The street surrounding it holds much of Malaga's cultural buzz, with museums, terraces and privileged views over the Arab fortress crowning the hill.

Muelle Uno: the renovated waterfront

This part of the harbour, completely renovated over the last decade, blends shops, restaurants and cultural spaces facing the sea, making it one of the most popular promenades for both locals and visitors.

Strolling past the moored boats, with the Centre Pompidou and the Cathedral in the background, is one of the simplest and most enjoyable plans at any time of day.

  • Address: Muelle Uno, 29016 Malaga
  • Hours: open 24/7

Gibralfaro Castle

Perched on a hilltop next to the Alcazaba, to which it's connected by a wall, Gibralfaro Castle offers the most complete panoramic views over the whole city and its bay.

Climbing up there, whether on foot or by car, is a perfect plan for sunset, when the golden light lights up the harbour, the bullring and Malaga's full skyline.

  • Address: Camino Gibralfaro, 11, 29016 Malaga
  • Hours: 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM (varies by season)
