Ibiza: Location and Getting There

The Balearic island is located in the western Mediterranean, not far from Mallorca and Menorca. For a direct flight from Germany, you should plan for 2.5 to 3 hours. The Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is only 7 kilometers southwest of Ibiza Town and is very busy from April to October.

Ibiza Town and Dalt Vila: History and Glamour

The heart of the island is Ibiza Town (Eivissa), and above the city stands Dalt Vila — the old fortress town, which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999. The medieval streets, art galleries, and restaurants within the mighty city walls are an absolute must for every Ibiza visitor.

Right at the harbor, new luxury restaurants and boutique hotels are being built every year. The harbor area is especially a meeting point of the international jet set society in the evening. Anyone exploring Ibiza Town should definitely plan several hours for Dalt Vila — best at sunset, when the old walls are bathed in golden light.
