From the port to the city

Check whether the ship uses a nearer berth around Puerto Naos or a farther one at Puerto de los Mármoles. Walking to the old centre may take about 20–30 minutes from the nearer area and 45–60 minutes or more from the farther one. These are not guaranteed times. Follow the authorised exit and use a taxi or available shuttle if appropriate. The yacht marina is not necessarily your terminal.

12 sights

  1. Charco de San Ginés — a lagoon with boats and white houses in old Arrecife.
  2. San Ginés church — a historic church and pleasant square by the lagoon.
  3. San Ginés quarter — fishing heritage, small streets and traditional façades.
  4. Puente de las Bolas — the distinctive bridge towards the coastal castle.
  5. San Gabriel Castle — an island defensive structure; check interior access.
  6. Calle León y Castillo — the main central shopping stroll.
  7. Seafront promenade — sea views connecting the centre and beach.
  8. Parque Islas Canarias — a convenient break on the waterfront route.
  9. Islote de Fermina — a waterfront space associated with César Manrique’s design; check access.
  10. El Reducto beach — a town beach for a break when sea conditions allow.
  11. San José Castle and MIAC — contemporary art in a historic fort beyond the short central loop.
  12. Marina Lanzarote — boats, restaurants and a waterfront link towards Puerto Naos.

One-day itinerary

Town route: Charco de San Ginés → church → León y Castillo → Puente de las Bolas → San Gabriel exterior → promenade → El Reducto → return. Allow 3–4 hours with breaks, plus berth transfers and lunch. Choose a museum or beach rather than entering every attraction.

Other options

Timanfaya, Jameos del Agua and Cueva de los Verdes are separate island excursions requiring transport and tickets. They are not walkable Arrecife sights; do not combine them all with the full town route.

Practical advice and return to the ship

The call on 4 March is 08:00–18:00. Save the berth name and taxi pickup point. Allow time for the port walk back and security; for an out-of-town excursion add 60–90 minutes of contingency before all-aboard.

Times and distances are estimates. Before travelling check opening days, tickets and current transport using the official sources below. The 2027 port schedule is not a guaranteed local transport timetable. The ship determines the all-aboard deadline, which takes priority over this suggested plan.
