Before planning any trip to a new place I personally check not only the flights but also the transports to arrive at my final destination. When I planned my trip to Las Palmas it wasn’t different.

So when we landed at the Airport, I immediately checked if the busses I had found in Germany (online) were there for real and so it was!

Now, you have to know that the busses are for some reason on the other side of the airport. Just follow the signs and you’ll be guided until the exit where the busses are. Don’t get confused if under the bus sign you see “Global” – is just the name of the suburban bus company.

You’ll then take the bus to San Telmo and from there you can go basically anywhere in Las Palmas! I also recommend to take the bus because it costs just 2.30 euros to San Telmo (Triana and Vegueta area) or 2.95 euros to Santa Catalina (Las Canteras, Mesa y López, Guanarteme area) but if your flight is at night you can easily take a taxi. The cost of a taxi is around 30 euros.

If you are looking for means of transport to get you around Las Palmas de Gran Canaria city, GUAGUAS MUNICIPALES would be the right company for you.

Another option is: Sitycleta. This is the bycicle public system that operates within the city, you can use normal bikes and also e-bikes to move around the city. Definitely, a great idea.

I’m hungry. No hay problema 🙂 

Probably after 8 hours (between check ins, waiting for the luggage and flight) you’ll be hungry. Don’t worry, we have prepared the most complete blog post about where to eat in Las Palmas, you can read it here.

In Las Palmas doesn’t matter if you are a meat lover or not you can easily find vegan restaurants or restaurants with vegan options. I’m not vegan myself but since my classmate is, I tried it for a week and I must say it was easier than I thought!

Although the streets might be a bit confusing we often take the beach as a reference to know exactly where we are without having to constantly check Maps. The important part is: Learn a little bit of Spanish if you want to get the message across. It was way easier to get around and people were super friendly and helped us a lot! NikaTeacher Language School is here to help you with that. We have been teaching Spanish to people like you and they are all so happy after that. You can read their reviews here.
