Where to stay in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

Las Canteras. This is the main city beach, with about four kilometres of shoreline. A good fit if you want the sea on your doorstep and a few days without a car.

Santa Catalina and the port. Santa Catalina park, next to the Puerto de la Luz, is where festivals such as the carnival are held. The Santa Catalina interchange, shared by Guaguas Municipales and Global, is here. It is practical if you plan to get around by bus (guagua). Near the port you will also find Guanarteme and Alcaravaneras, two everyday neighbourhoods; the second has its own beach.

Vegueta and Triana. Vegueta is the district where the city was born: the Canarias Cathedral, the Columbus House and the Casas Consistoriales are here. Triana begins on the other side of the Guiniguada ravine, on the way to the port. They suit you if you are more interested in the historic centre than the beach.

Getting there and around

Gran Canaria Airport is about 18 km from the city, in the municipality of Telde. If you arrive by ship, the Port of Las Palmas (Puerto de la Luz) is in the city itself.

For getting around, Guaguas Municipales runs more than forty urban lines, with main terminals at Teatro, Santa Catalina and Puerto. If your accommodation is near one of them, you do not need a car in the city.

When to go

The climate is mild all year. At the airport weather station, the average is around 18 °C in January and 25 °C in August. For that reason it is a good place to travel in any month, including winter.
