Why this trip

Palm trees on the harbour promenade, an ice cream in hand, the old town within walking distance: Málaga is a city where families do not have to search long for what to do next. Between cathedral, harbour and beach the distances are short, and a day is easily divided into a morning by the sea and an afternoon in the shade. With children the city works best when explored in stages. One morning belongs to the harbour promenade with its play areas and cafés, another to the old town around the cathedral, where Picasso's birthplace also tells stories.

A beach day follows as a balance, when you do not have to see anything. Smaller children benefit from the fact that lunch can often be taken near the water. The country data name April to June and September to October as the best time. With a flight of around two hours, Málaga is easy to reach.

Marbella, Granada and Seville lie nearby as neighbours, but longer car journeys are worth thinking through carefully with children. Swiss Vibes discusses with you in a video call which accommodation suits your family.

Getting there

The family travels from Zurich or Basel-Mulhouse, and Swiss Vibes plans connection times so that the children have breaks in between.
