Where to stay in Malaga

Puerto de la Torre is a residential neighbourhood to the northwest of Malaga city, so staying somewhere with easy access to the ring road or public transport makes sense. Centro Histórico is a solid base, putting you close to the city's transport links so you can reach the market without any fuss.

If you'd prefer something a little closer to the action, look for accommodation on the western side of the city. The AC Hotel Malaga Palacio is a well-known option in the city centre, and Barceló Málaga near the train station gives you great connections across the city.
