Ciutadella Holidays

Ciutadella is a port town on the west of Menorca, one of Spain’s Balearic Islands. It is home to thirty thousand residents and has become a popular tourist destination due to its Mediterranean weather, its relaxed atmosphere and beautiful port area.

There is rich history here, and there is no better way of experiencing it than a tour of the homes of Nobles that once reigned in Ciutadella. This stunning 19th century building boasts a beautiful interior and exterior. If you’d like to see more important historical landmarks, be sure to visit the stunning Cathedral of Menorca, located in the centre of the old town.

Ciutadella is perfect for a couple who want to spend a relaxing sun holiday in an authentic Spanish town. Due to the number of tourists that visit the town, there are many kid friendly activities to make the resort also suitable for families!
