Vegueta: Lanes and History
In the south of Las Palmas lies Vegueta, the city’s historic founding district. Its narrow lanes and squares preserve more than five centuries of history. Around Plaza de Santa Ana stand the cathedral, the Bishop’s Palace and the historic Casas Consistoriales.
A city walk with a clear focus
The Casa de Colón and the Museo Canario are other notable destinations in the district. If time is limited, you can combine a visit to either museum with a walk through Vegueta.
Return to the ship
Plan your return to the actual berth using your travel documents. Las Palmas spans several areas of the city, so tailor the time you spend ashore to the district you choose and the time needed for the return journey.
