Taking a winter sightseeing tour in Las Palmas by hired car

Cathedral St Ana in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

The city is largely characterized by its port, which is one of the largest in the Atlantic. Santa Brígida in the south and Arucas in the west are among the neighboring municipalities. With a hired car you can get to any place on the island quickly and easily.

Highlights in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria:

  • Old town
  • Main square Plaza Santa Ana
  • Old Town Hall with neoclassical building
  • Casa de Colón
  • Plaza Espiritu Santu

The district of Triana, north of the old town is known for its buildings from around 1900, especially with the Calle Mayor de Triana, the main shopping street and pedestrian zone. Among other things, the typical Spanish architecture shows facades in Art Nouveau style. The Park San Telmo forms an oasis with magnificent youth style pavilions and at the Plaza Cairasco stands the Gabinete Literario. From Triana, you can reach Santa Catalina, a district between the harbor and the beach, in a few minutes by hired car. Attractions are the long bathing beach, the park Santa Catalina, which is lined with bars and cafes and the Auditorio Alfredo Kraus, a concert hall directly on the sea. In addition to the beaches and promenades, Las Palmas offers museums, events, and an interesting nightlife.

Speed and traffic rules in Gran Canaria

Beach in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

In Las Palmas and the rest of the Canary Island, the Spanish traffic rules generally apply. Always plan enough time for your trip, because driving in the mountains with all the winding roads requires maximum concentration. Unless otherwise stated, the following maximum speeds apply on the island:

  • Inner towns: 50 km/h
  • Motorway: 100 km/h

Parking and refuelling a hired car in Las Palmas

City of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

The easiest way is to park the hired car in one of the parking garages. Here you are charged by the minute. In white parking zones you can park continuously for free and in blue parking zones you have to get a parking ticket. At night, on weekends and at lunchtime, the blue areas are normally free.
Compared to other European countries, fuel prices on Gran Canaria are very reasonable. Nevertheless, one can also save here when refuelling. The gas station network is quite dense, so you should have no problems finding a gas station. Outside of towns, petrol prices are usually somewhat cheaper.

The best time to travel to Las Palmas
