This \u2018square\u2019 is home to most of the main tourist attractions, the best shopping and many of the best restaurants.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\ud83c\udfc6 Editor&#8217;s pick: Old Town<\/strong> If it&#8217;s your first time in Malaga, stay here. Yes, it costs more \u2014 but waking up minutes from the Picasso Museum and the cathedral, with the city&#8217;s best tapas bars on your doorstep, is worth the extra. We&#8217;d recommend going for a boutique hotel on a side street or non-street facing room on the main streets to cut the noise without sacrificing the location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure

It has since seen a big transformation and is now home to some great street art, boutique hotels and hip cafes and restaurants. Some would say it&#8217;s the coolest neighbourhood in Malaga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\ud83c\udfc6 Editor&#8217;s pick: Soho<\/strong> Our favourite neighbourhood for a city break. It has the energy of the Old Town but feels less like a tourist set \u2014 more local bars, better coffee, and a genuinely interesting street art scene. Prices are noticeably lower for the same quality of room, and you&#8217;re still a 10-minute walk from everything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"520\" src=\"https:\/\/www.guidetomalaga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/where-to-stay-Soho-Malaga.jpg\" alt=\"where to stay Soho Malaga\" class=\"wp-image-18282\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.guidetomalaga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/where-to-stay-Soho-Malaga.jpg 780w, https:\/\/www.guidetomalaga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/where-to-stay-Soho-Malaga-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.guidetomalaga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/where-to-stay-Soho-Malaga-175x117.jpg 175w, https:\/\/www.guidetomalaga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/where-to-stay-Soho-Malaga-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-the-main-attractions\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The main attractions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.guidetomalaga.com\/see\/malaga-art\/a-guide-to-street-art-in-malaga\/\">Street art<\/a> &#8211; look high and low as you walk around the area.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>MuCAC Mayoristas art museum and the Museum of the Imagination.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Soho Market on a Sunday <a href=\"https:\/\/www.guidetomalaga.com\/events-in-malaga\/whats-on-this-month-in-malaga\/\">every month<\/a>.

Home to the <strong>Casa Natal de Picasso<\/strong>, Picasso&#8217;s birthplace, and gorgeous jacaranda trees in May, Plaza de la Merced is the main focal point while Calle Victoria takes you up to the lovely Basilica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\ud83c\udfc6 Editor&#8217;s pick: Plaza de la Merced \/ Calle Victoria<\/strong> For us, this is a solid central option in the city. It&#8217;s a 12-minute walk to the Alcazaba, you&#8217;re near Picasso&#8217;s actual birthplace square, and hotels here are consistently 20\u201330% cheaper than equivalent options in the Old Town. The area gets lively at night, so bring earplugs if you&#8217;re a light sleeper, and avoid the back streets around Cruz Verde, but for the price and the location, it&#8217;s hard to argue with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"520\" src=\"https:\/\/www.guidetomalaga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/wherre-to-stay-plaza-de-la-merced-malaga.jpg\" alt=\"wherre to stay plaza de la merced malaga\" class=\"wp-image-18284\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.guidetomalaga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/wherre-to-stay-plaza-de-la-merced-malaga.jpg 780w, https:\/\/www.guidetomalaga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/wherre-to-stay-plaza-de-la-merced-malaga-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.guidetomalaga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/wherre-to-stay-plaza-de-la-merced-malaga-175x117.jpg 175w, https:\/\/www.guidetomalaga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/wherre-to-stay-plaza-de-la-merced-malaga-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-the-main-attractions-nbsp-0\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The main attractions&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Picasso\u2019s birthplace.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.teatrocervantes.com\/en\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cervantes Theatre<\/a>, with an excellent year-round programme.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Glass Museum and Jorge Rando Museum.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.guidetomalaga.com\/events-in-malaga\/malaga-news\/new-look-for-the-mercado-de-salamanca\/\">Salamanca Market<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Basilica de la Victoria.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You might also like to read:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.guidetomalaga.com\/do\/walking-tours-in-malaga\/malaga-walking-tours-around-calle-victoria\/\">Our Calle Victoria walking tour<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.guidetomalaga.com\/see\/monuments-malaga\/best-churches-in-malaga\/\">Our guide to the best churches in Malaga<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.es\/maps\/d\/embed?mid=1hwIN7O1OElwqfqVFEAra26KMDanKS40&#038;ehbc=2E312F\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-distance-to-public-transport-to-malaga-airport-nbsp\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Distance to public transport to Malaga Airport&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cercan\u00edas train station (12 minutes to the airport. \u20ac1.80)<\/strong>, 15-30-minute walk from hotels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Airport bus (Route A, 20 to 30 minute-journey, \u20ac4)<\/strong>&nbsp;stops on the Alameda Principal, north side, opposite Calle C\u00f3rdoba, 10-30-minute walk.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n    <div class=\"fh-item\">\n        <div class=\"fh-item__container\">\n            <span class=\"fh-item__tag\">\n                Boutique Hotels            <\/span>\n            <div class=\"fh-item__content\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/booking.stay22.com\/guidetomalaga\/9ccvO6kQQ-\"  class=\"fh-item__title__link\">\n                    <h3 class=\"fh-item__title\">Palacete de \u00c1lamos<\/h3>\n                <\/a>\n                <figure class=\"fh-item__image\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/www.guidetomalaga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/palacete-a-alamos-1-768x512.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.guidetomalaga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/palacete-a-alamos-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.guidetomalaga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/palacete-a-alamos-1-175x117.jpg 175w, https:\/\/www.guidetomalaga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/palacete-a-alamos-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.guidetomalaga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/palacete-a-alamos-1.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>                <\/figure>\n                <p class=\"fh-item__text\">\nPalacete de \u00c1lamos is a boutique hotel housed in a beautifully restored mansion, offering a luxurious and intimate escape in Malaga.

It offers city skyline views, the beach on your doorstep and easy access to the historic quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\ud83c\udfc6 Editor&#8217;s pick: La Malagueta<\/strong> The only neighbourhood that genuinely gives you both \u2014 beach access and city centre proximity in the same stay. You can swim before breakfast and be at the Alcazaba within 20 minutes on foot. Plus you can treat yourself to a stay at the Gran Hotel Miramar (their buffet breakfast is our favourite in town).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"520\" src=\"https:\/\/www.guidetomalaga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/where-to-stay-la-malagueta.jpg\" alt=\"where to stay la malagueta malaga\" class=\"wp-image-18286\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.guidetomalaga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/where-to-stay-la-malagueta.jpg 780w, https:\/\/www.guidetomalaga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/where-to-stay-la-malagueta-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.guidetomalaga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/where-to-stay-la-malagueta-175x117.jpg 175w, https:\/\/www.guidetomalaga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/where-to-stay-la-malagueta-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-the-main-attractions-nbsp-1\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The main attractions&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>El Palmeral (our favourite spot in Malaga!)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Port and Lighthouse.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.guidetomalaga.com\/see\/malaga-art\/a-guide-to-the-pompidou-centre-in-malaga\/\">Pompidou Centre<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>English Cemetery.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The MUCAC Museum<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You might also like:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.guidetomalaga.com\/do\/walking-tours-in-malaga\/malaga-destination-guides-la-malagueta\/\">Our walking tour of La Malagueta&nbsp;<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.guidetomalaga.com\/do\/ideas\/guide-to-malaga-beaches\/\"><strong>Our guide to Malaga beaches<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/embed?mid=1FFNYey6PmLtEavU5OTPqP-V9ECC0ChY&#038;ehbc=2E312F&#038;noprof=1\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-distance-to-public-transport-to-malaga-airport-nbsp-0\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Distance to public transport to Malaga Airport&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cercan\u00edas train station (12 minutes to the airport. \u20ac1.80)<\/strong>, 20-40-minute walk from hotels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Airport bus (Route A, 20 to 30 journey, \u20ac4)<\/strong>&nbsp;stops on the Alameda Principal, north side, opposite Calle C\u00f3rdoba, a 10-15-minute walk.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"tfh-grid\">\n    <div class=\"tfh-grid__container\">\n        \n        \n        <div class=\"tfh-grid__item\">\n            <div class=\"tfh-grid__card tfh-grid__card-vertical\">  \n                <div class=\"tfh-grid__tag\">\n                    <span>Mid-range hotels<\/span>\n                <\/div>\n                <figure class=\"tfh-grid__image\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"195\" src=\"https:\/\/www.guidetomalaga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/hotel-MS-Maestranza-Malaga-1-300x195.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.guidetomalaga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/hotel-MS-Maestranza-Malaga-1-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.guidetomalaga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/hotel-MS-Maestranza-Malaga-1-175x114.jpg 175w, https:\/\/www.guidetomalaga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/hotel-MS-Maestranza-Malaga-1-768x499.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.guidetomalaga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/hotel-MS-Maestranza-Malaga-1.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>                <\/figure>\n                \n                <div class=\"tfh-grid__content\">\n                    <a href=\"https:\/\/booking.stay22.com\/guidetomalaga\/aYDBM2UCx6\"  class=\"tfh-grid__title__link\">\n                        <h3 class=\"tfh-grid__title\">Hotel MS Maestranza<\/h3>\n                    <\/a>\n                    <p class=\"tfh-grid__text\">\nThe largest hotel in the Malagueta district of Malaga, the Hotel MS Maestranza has the beach and Muelle Uno on its doorstep.

Pedregalejo has the best grilled sardines in the city, a proper beachfront promenade, and an atmosphere that still feels genuinely local rather than arranged for tourists. It&#8217;s 20 minutes from the Old Town by bus, which is a real trade-off \u2014 but if you&#8217;re after a relaxed, beach-focused stay rather than a sightseeing sprint, nowhere in Malaga beats it. If we were staying here, we&#8217;d definitely hire bikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"520\" src=\"https:\/\/www.guidetomalaga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/where-to-stay-pedregalejo-el-palo-malaga.jpg\" alt=\"where to stay pedregalejo el palo malaga\" class=\"wp-image-18281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.guidetomalaga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/where-to-stay-pedregalejo-el-palo-malaga.jpg 780w, https:\/\/www.guidetomalaga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/where-to-stay-pedregalejo-el-palo-malaga-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.guidetomalaga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/where-to-stay-pedregalejo-el-palo-malaga-175x117.jpg 175w, https:\/\/www.guidetomalaga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/where-to-stay-pedregalejo-el-palo-malaga-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The seafront promenade is a succession of caf\u00e9s, cocktail bars, traditional fish restaurants and hip eateries.

This area is mainly residential and doesn\u2019t rank as one of the most popular places to stay. That said, there are some good options and you have La Misericordia Beach on your doorstep. You also get to enjoy a real local vibe, especially at restaurants in Huelin, another traditional fishing district.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\ud83c\udfc6 Editor&#8217;s pick: Huelin \/ Western Seafront<\/strong> Malaga&#8217;s most underrated neighbourhood. The beach is quieter and less crowded than La Malagueta (except in summer), prices are significantly lower, and the local restaurant scene along the seafront is excellent. The downside is a slightly longer walk or bus ride into the Old Town \u2014 but for a relaxed, affordable stay with your feet practically in the sand, the western seafront deserves far more attention than it gets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"520\" src=\"https:\/\/www.guidetomalaga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/where-to-stay-western-seafront-huelin-malaga.jpg\" alt=\"where to stay western seafront huelin malaga\" class=\"wp-image-18283\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.guidetomalaga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/where-to-stay-western-seafront-huelin-malaga.jpg 780w, https:\/\/www.guidetomalaga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/where-to-stay-western-seafront-huelin-malaga-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.guidetomalaga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/where-to-stay-western-seafront-huelin-malaga-175x117.jpg 175w, https:\/\/www.guidetomalaga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/where-to-stay-western-seafront-huelin-malaga-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-the-main-attractions-nbsp-4\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The main attractions&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.guidetomalaga.com\/see\/malaga-museums\/malaga-car-museum\/\">Car Museum<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Russian Museum&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>La T\u00e9rmica Cultural Centre&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.guidetomalaga.com\/do\/walking-tours-in-malaga\/malaga-walking-tour-western-seafront\/\">Western Seafront&nbsp;<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You might also like to read&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.guidetomalaga.com\/do\/unusual-things\/guide-birdwatching-malaga\/\">Bird watching in the Guadalhorce Natural Park<\/a>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.guidetomalaga.com\/see\/malaga-landmarks\/1-of-the-best-and-most-surprising-parks-in-malaga\/\"><strong>Our guide to the most unusual park in Malaga<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.es\/maps\/d\/embed?mid=11Ah5fp9wsUDbNf8E42PP3dB18bZWA48&#038;ehbc=2E312F\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-distance-to-public-transport-to-malaga-airport-nbsp-3\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Distance to public transport to Malaga Airport&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Airport bus (Route A, 20 minute-journey, \u20ac4)<\/strong>&nbsp;has two stops on Avda de Vel\u00e1zquez, a maximum of 20 minutes\u2019 walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"tfh-grid\">\n    <div class=\"tfh-grid__container\">\n        \n        \n        <div class=\"tfh-grid__item\">\n            <div class=\"tfh-grid__card tfh-grid__card-vertical\">  \n                <div class=\"tfh-grid__tag\">\n                    <span>Family-friendly hotels<\/span>\n                <\/div>\n                <figure class=\"tfh-grid__image\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.guidetomalaga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/huelin-suites-4-300x200.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.guidetomalaga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/huelin-suites-4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.guidetomalaga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/huelin-suites-4-175x117.jpg 175w, https:\/\/www.guidetomalaga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/huelin-suites-4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.guidetomalaga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/huelin-suites-4.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>                <\/figure>\n                \n                <div class=\"tfh-grid__content\">\n                    <a href=\"https:\/\/booking.stay22.com\/guidetomalaga\/KS9E0HYHEf\"  class=\"tfh-grid__title__link\">\n                        <h3 class=\"tfh-grid__title\">Huelin Suites<\/h3>\n                    <\/a>\n                    <p class=\"tfh-grid__text\">\nIf you&#8217;re looking for self-catering accommodation outside the Old Town, these new apartments may suit.
