About the attraction
Choose this ticket when flexibility matters more than a fixed guided itinerary. You can use the bus as a sightseeing loop, get off for the old town or beach, then continue later without having to understand several local transport routes. It is particularly useful for first-time Las Palmas visitors, cruise passengers with a day in the city, and travellers staying near Santa Catalina or Las Canteras who want to combine the beach with Vegueta and other central sights. Multilingual commentary adds context while you travel, and the current buses are marked wheelchair accessible.
Who is it for
Best for first-time visitors to Las Palmas, cruise passengers, short city-break travellers, families who prefer a simple sightseeing framework, and no-car visitors who want to combine Santa Catalina, Las Canteras and the old-town area in one day. It also suits travellers who value audio commentary or need a wheelchair-accessible sightseeing option.
Who should skip it
Skip this if you only need point-to-point transport, already know Las Palmas well, or plan to spend the whole day in one compact area such as Las Canteras or Vegueta. A normal city bus or taxi may be more efficient for a single journey. Travellers expecting an island-wide Gran Canaria tour should also choose another experience: this route stays within Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
What to expect
Activate the ticket and board at any operating City Sightseeing stop on the Las Palmas route. The route has 11 stops through the main visitor areas, including Parque Santa Catalina, El Corte Inglés, Auditorio Alfredo Kraus, Pueblo Canario, Vegueta, San Telmo, the port area, Poema del Mar and Las Canteras.

Hop off to explore and reboard a later bus during the ticket’s validity period. Recorded commentary is available in several languages, and selected inclusions may include entry to the Elder Museum and El Corte Inglés rooftop viewpoint; check the inclusions shown for your booking.
Before you go
The ticket is valid for 24 hours after activation, so start it when you are ready to use the route rather than too early in the day.

City Sightseeing currently lists service from approximately 10:00 to 17:00. Frequency and stop availability can change with traffic, events and operational conditions. The operator currently marks Stop 8, Muelle Deportivo, as out of service until further notice.

You can board at an operating stop rather than being tied to one fixed departure point. Parque Santa Catalina is one of the most practical starting points for visitors staying near the port or Las Canteras.

The current experience is wheelchair accessible and supports smartphone tickets with instant delivery. The current cancellation window is 24 hours before the booked date.

This is a Las Palmas city sightseeing route, not a tour around the whole island of Gran Canaria.
