Las Palmas tour with free time in Vegueta and shopping

3.8/5
318 reviews

The big-city buzz of Las Palmas will delight you during this shopping trip to Gran Canaria's capital. You'll start your tour with a stroll through the old town, Vegueta. During this visit, you'll have time to stretch your legs and explore the pretty cobblestone streets at your own pace. This is also a great opportunity to browse local souvenir shops and experience the atmosphere of one of the city's most iconic neighbourhoods. Local guide Carmen says, "It's just incredible wandering the old town at your own pace. Vegueta is so fashionable and atmospheric, it's like being in a movie."

Next, you'll be whisked to the Las Arenas shopping mall. This modern shopping centre is the perfect place to relax and indulge in some retail therapy, with a wide range of popular stores to choose from. If you need to refuel, you'll find several fast food outlets, as well as traditional cafes and bars. There's even a bowling alley if you want to mix it up. Plus, don't miss the terrace views overlooking Las Canteras Beach and the Auditorio Alfredo Klaus. The beach is only a minute away, so there's also time for a quick stroll.

At the end of the trip, your guide will accompany you back to your hotel after a day out that offers the perfect balance of Las Palmas' cultural charm and a modern shopping experience. It's an ideal excursion for all ages and interests.

    Tolle Altstadt und gute Erklärungen der Reiseleitung. Der Aufenthalt hätte gerade in der Altstadt etwas länger sein können. Die Cathedrale ist sehenswert. Das Einkaufzentrum ist nichts anders wie in Deutschland. Media Markt, H&M, Deichmann, Douglas, Primemarkt,.... Ich bin dann eher zum Strand und habe die frische Briese und den Wellengang beobachtet. Und vorallem viel Ruhe.....
