From exceptional dining establishments and cozy cafes to contemporary urban districts and UNESCO World Heritage-listed historic areas, Las Palmas has something for every traveler. Notably, the city boasts a collection of splendid beaches conveniently situated near its heart.

Worth seeing
The city's prized jewel, Playa de Las Canteras, stands as the most popular beach, boasting a safe and inviting atmosphere.

The beach area also hosts a variety of restaurants and cafes, ensuring both culinary delights and seaside relaxation.

La Vegueta, the city's oldest neighborhood, exudes charm with its historic houses and enchanting ambiance. This area provides a glimpse into Las Palmas' past, offering a chance to stroll through time among its atmospheric streets.

Casa de Colon, a captivating museum, offers insights into the city's history and the seafaring adventures of Christopher Columbus. This charming museum provides a fascinating narrative of Las Palmas' past and its maritime heritage.

Climate
Las Palmas benefits from a subtropical climate, influenced by its coastal setting. The city enjoys mild, pleasant temperatures throughout the year, making it an appealing destination for visitors seeking favorable weather. Summers, extending from June to September, bring warm temperatures with averages ranging from 20 to 26 degrees Celsius. Winters, spanning from December to February, remain comfortably mild, with average temperatures hovering between 17 and 21 degrees Celsius. The city's proximity to the Atlantic Ocean helps to moderate its temperatures, creating an inviting environment for exploration and relaxation year-round.
