There is a stop just a few minutes walk from the cruise ship terminal in Malaga. There are three routes to choose from, the Red Line with 14+ stops, the Blue Line with 5 stops, and the Green Line with 13 stops. The red route duration is approximately 30 minutes, or just keep hopping on and off. It's your vacation! The buses run approximately every 20 minutes.

3 sites are considered must-see and here are the details to make sure you don't miss out. Paseo del Parque, Playa de la Malagueta, and the Castillo de Gibralfaro, all of which are located on the Red Route. The Paseo del Parque (stop 5) is an incredible garden that covers an area of 30,000 square meters with roses, citrus trees, and so much more. Both fragrant and beautiful, it is such a pleasant way to spend some of your time in this active city. Playa de la Malagueta is a lovely beach area (stop 8) and is popular with tourists and locals alike. Castillo de Gibralfaro (stop 10) is an incredible castle with an even better view of the City of Malaga. You even have free entrance to the Interactive Music Museum!

Malaga has been nominated as a candidate for the 2016 European Capital of Culture. Pablo Picasso was born here, and his works live on. You'll also see Roman, Moorish, and Christian influences from the past in the architecture. Plan your day, map your route, and hop on the city sightseeing bus!
