Operated by Tour2B · Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Canary Islands
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, a vibrant capital city on the northeastern coast of Gran Canaria, offers a distinctive blend of urban culture and volcanic wilderness. Tour2B’s “Tour por la ciudad de Las Palmas y alrededores” captures the essence of this captivating destination, presenting an eight-hour journey through some of the area’s most remarkable sights. This experience stands out for its unique convergence of history, natural wonders, and modern seaside charm.
The day begins in the Barrio de Vegueta, the city’s oldest quarter, where cobbled streets lead to the towering Catedral de Santa Ana. This Gothic and Renaissance cathedral is a cornerstone of Canarian heritage and a must-see for history buffs. Walking these historic lanes with a local guide deepens your understanding of how Las Palmas evolved into a bustling port city.
Next, the tour heads to the volcanic landmark of Bandama. The crater, over a kilometer wide and 216 meters deep, is classified as a Monumento Natural. Standing at its rim, 706 meters above sea level, visitors gain sweeping views of the cityscape below and the rugged terrain beyond. The volcanic soil and striking geological features make this site an outdoor classroom for earth science enthusiasts.
Not far from the crater is the Jardín Botánico Viera y Clavijo, one of Europe’s largest botanical gardens. Its vast collection is dedicated to the plants of Macaronesia, a rare biogeographic region that includes the Canary Islands, Madeira, and the Azores. Here, visitors can immerse themselves in the biodiversity of the archipelago.
The final stop offers time to unwind on Playa de Las Canteras, a celebrated urban beach fronting the Atlantic. Adjacent is Las Arenas shopping center, where you can browse local shops or simply enjoy the sea breeze. Tour2B’s comprehensive day tour gives travelers a layered experience—from historical architecture to volcanic landscapes and coastal leisure—making it an essential introduction to Las Palmas and its surroundings.
