Our pick of the best things to do in Marbella

Whether you live in the city or fancy a getaway, Marbella always has something new to offer. Beyond its glamorous reputation, the city hides a charming old town, unspoiled nature just minutes from the centre, and top-tier Andalusian food.

Culture and heritage: Marbella's must-sees

Even if you already know them by sight, these key spots in the city are always worth another visit. From the old town with its Arab charm to the mountain range rising right behind the seafront, these are places that never lose their appeal, whether you're showing them to a visitor or rediscovering them yourself.

Plaza de los Naranjos: the heart of the old town

This 15th-century square, surrounded by orange trees and whitewashed buildings, is the nerve centre of Marbella's historic centre. It's home to the Renaissance town hall and several stately houses that preserve the city's original street layout.

Getting lost in the alleys leading off the square, with their flower pots and white façades, remains one of the most enjoyable plans for a quiet afternoon, away from the marina's bustle.

Iglesia de la Encarnación

Located just steps from Plaza de los Naranjos, this 16th-century church blends Baroque and Neoclassical elements in its façade, and is one of the most representative religious buildings in the old town.

Its interior, with gilded altarpieces and remarkable acoustics, also makes it a regular venue for concerts and celebrations throughout the year.

Arab walls and Marbella Castle

The remains of the old Arab walls, still preserved right in the centre, are a reminder that Marbella was a major fortified stronghold during Muslim rule, between the 10th and 15th centuries.

Strolling alongside these stone walls, now woven into the streets of the old town, is a simple way to connect with the city's history without leaving the centre.

Strolling its seafront at sunset, watching the moored boats in front of the terraces, is one of Marbella's most iconic plans, whether or not you plan on buying anything.

Marbella Seafront Promenade

Its central stretch, facing the Puente Romano Hotel, combines well-kept greenery with sea views, ideal for walking at any time of year thanks to the area's mild climate.

It's a perfect visit for anyone looking for a quiet cultural alternative, far less known than the major museums in Malaga city, yet with high-quality works.

This mountain range, rising right behind Marbella to over 1,200 metres, offers hiking routes with spectacular views over the city, the coast, and on clear days, even North Africa.

Its closeness to the city centre is one of its biggest draws: in just a few minutes by car you go from the beach to a completely different mountain setting.
