Malaga · TICKETS
The good tickets & entry passes fill up first in spring and again in September. Here are 15 of them, with prices, durations and the detail that decides between two that look alike.
Guided Caminito del Rey in Andalusia with helmets, bilingual radio commentary, and a one-way cliff walk. Practical entry and stunning views.
“Very nice and the guid was amazing. Telling us a lot about history and nature.”
Timed entry to Museo Picasso Málaga with audio guide and major exhibitions, plus underground Phoenician, Roman, and Arabic ruins.
“Glad we pick an early start for this as the queues were huge when we left. Excellent museum”
Walk the restored Caminito del Rey on a one-way 7.7 km cliff path above the Guadalhorce River, with entry ticket access from Ardales to El Chorro.
“Absolutely loved the scenery and the hike wasn’t too challenging, even for a pensioner 😊. Wanted to do this for a number of years and it lived up to expectations. We didn’t have a guide, but would recommend having one as we missed out on the fascinating history of the place.”
Relax in Malaga’s Hammam Al-Andalus with hot, warm, cold pools, steam, mint tea lounge time, and a soothing massage with aromatic oils.
“I had a wonderful experience at this Hammam! Highly recommend! The setting was very calm and tranquil. Multiple pools with different temperatures + steam room to try out. Unlimited mint tea, which was absolutely delicious. My 30-minute massage from Helena was amazing!! I didn’t want it to end! So happy I decided to do this.”
Ride the only Costa del Sol cable car to Mount Calamorro, with audio guide views, Mediterranean trails, and optional bird show from Benalmádena.
“really enjoyed it. was about 15mins or so each way and that's decent for a cable car ride. not huge cabins but good enough and views are amazing”
Step into Nerja Caves with an audio-guided ticket, then visit the Museum of Nerja and a 360º VR show.
“Absolutely breathtaking!! Excellent value for money. The drawings were difficult to spot in fact I didn’t see any. However it doesn’t detract away from the fact that they were amazing!!”
A 3-hour Málaga walking tour hitting the Roman Theatre, Alcazaba, and Cathedral with fast-track entry, narrated storytelling, and great views.
“Dani was fantastic, both knowledgeable and funny! You get to learn a lot about Malaga and its history!”
Visit Pablo Picasso’s Malaga birthplace house with a timed-entry museum ticket, audio guide, and access to a temporary exhibition, all for about $5.
“Small museum but well curated. Interesting to hear about the influences of Malaga on Picasso’s work. There is an audio guide that stretches out the trip but a visit is definitely under an hour. In some places “Paloma” is mistranslated to “pigeon” not “dove” which I found to be very amusing in relation to Picasso’s peace work.”
Guided Caminito del Rey hike with entrance tickets, helmet, and audio. 7.7 km over El Chorro Gorge, with huge views.
“Overall great experience! Meeting was easy, the Tour Guide was dressed in orange and was fluent in English. He told us a lot about flora and fauna and was really funny :) the caminito is a lovely Tour to see a lot of the countryside and get to know he area. Great views and always good weather ;) Would definitely recommend!”
Visit Pompidou Málaga in El Cubo at the port, with skip-the-line entry and an included audio guide, for modern art in one day.
“An enjoyable way to spend an hour or two. Although not really an art lover, this was just a little bit different and quite interesting.”
Málaga’s Automobile and Fashion Museum ticket at La Tabacalera, cars plus couture, free parking, and Sunday engine runs.
“we have been to a number of car museums but we think this was the best. The quality of the cars was amazing and the care and restoration is a stand out. Mixed with the fashions and both man and woman are satisfied.”

“Show was superb, everyone was amazing. Well worth visiting. Don't want to say too much as don't want to spoil it. Whole experience from waiting to go in to the end was excellent”
Skip the line to the Picasso Museum in Malaga’s Buenavista Palace. A 1.5 hour guided story with Esther, $41, English or Spanish.
“it was very interesting tour and had a lot of information about Picasso himself and his family as well as art. Because we are not very familiar with his art (understanding of it), tour guide helped a lot, thank you!”
Every kind of day out on this coast, and the best of each.
