A picturesque port town on Menorca's western coast, Ciutadella is affectionately referred to as ‘Vella i Bella’ (that's old and beautiful to those of you who don't speak the lingo) — and most visitors would agree. The island’s capital until the British turned their focus to Mahón in the 18th Century, Ciutadella is still home to 40% of Menorca’s population, and has a lively modern-day identity as well as a fascinating heritage. Accommodation options are wide-ranging, with everything from simple B&Bs to chic boutique hotels in the old town and overlooking the ocean. With a carefully curated selection of top-notch properties, our list of the best places to stay in Ciutadella is the ideal starting point for planning your trip.
Rich in historic landmarks, Ciutadella is a delight for keen ramblers, who can admire narrow cobbled lanes lined with art galleries, boutiques, cafes and restaurants. Step into ornate Baroques churches, marvel at the elaborate Cathedral Basilica of Minorca, and spot gorgeous converted palaces with intricately decorated façades. The bustling fish market, housed in an elegant Modernist building, is well worth visiting, and guided walking tours of the old town centre come highly recommended for those with a deeper interest in Menorca’s turbulent past.
