The best way to begin your explorations of Ibiza’s historic quarter of Dalt Vila is at its city gate, the Portal de Ses Taules. The city walls that guarded the original city from attack are now a World Heritage Site, and from there you can follow your feet down the cobbled streets to the Patio de las Armas and Plaza de la Vila, and see the church of Santo Domingo, the cathedral, the archaeology museum and the episcopal palace.
Eventually you will arrive at the bay, where you draw breath and take in the views of the city and the coast from the ancient bastions. But Ibiza is a city that mixes the old and the new like no other, and by night the whole area becomes a party zone, with music, drag queens and fantastic costumes to lure you into the bars and clubs.
