How to get the Las Palmas Botanical Gardens?

Here at TravelON World we make it easy for you to not only see the Las Palmas capital city but also to have plenty of time at the Gran Canaria Botanical Gardens. 

If you want to learn more about the true Gran Canaria island and how the locals live, get up front with nature, and get some shopping in the many stores and local markets then you can do all of this in one day with the Botanical Gardens Gran Canaria Las Palmas tour.

Stop 1: Las Palmas Gran Canaria tour

The excursion begins at the historic city of Las Palmas, which is the capital of Gran Canaria. Popular for duty-free shopping and its sandy beaches, the city combines all the usual pleasures you'd want in a vacation.

You'll explore Las Palmas by foot, stopping at the center of Vegueta. Although it's an old town steeped in history, you'll be fascinated with its streets and squares dotted with historical buildings and their wide range of impressive architectural styles.

Stop 2: Square of Santa Ana

In the heart of Vegueta is Plaza de Santa Ana, which is the first main square in the town. Dating back to the 16th century, this place is usually packed with pigeons which you can feed. It's also the site of the bronze statues of eight Canarian dogs, which serve as the place's guardians. Concerts and festivals are usually held here.

Stop 3: House Museum of Christopher Columbus

Also included in the Botanical Garden, Las Palmas, and Volcanoes tour is a stop to the house museum of Christopher Columbus. A tribute to the navigator, it's where you can find items associated with maritime expansion.

Stop 4: Local Gran Canaria market

During the Las Palmas, Volcanoes, and Tropical Garden Gran Canaria tour, you'll have the option to explore a local market where you can score good deals on local products.

If shopping isn't your thing, you can simply admire the nearby Perez Galdos theatre or visit the pedestrian street of Triana where you can hang out at the cafes.

Stop 5: Caldera of Bandama

Next you'll have the chance to see the famous Las Palmas volcano attraction: Caldera of Bandama.

One of Gran Canaria's beautiful freaks of nature, it's a volcanic crater that's 200 metres deep and 1000 metres in diameter. You'll see various vegetation here, and its steep slopes and dramatic edges make up for an incredible sight.

Stop 6: Jardin Botanico de Viera and Clavijo

Next stop is the famous Gran Canaria botanical garden, Jardin botnico de Viera and Clavijo, which is the largest in Spain. This botanical garden in Las Palmas boasts over 570 plants, and its 23 hectares of land is home to native trees such as dragons and laurisilva.

Stop 7: Avenida Maritima

After visiting the Gran Canaria botanical garden, you can soak up relaxing views at the seaside promenade Avenida Maritima.

Stop 8: Santa Catalina Park

After a seaside stroll, you then get to explore for free for three hours at Santa Catalina Park, which is the site of the annual Las Palmas de Gran Canaria carnival.

Beach lovers will love the place as they'll get a chance to swim or relax in the shores of Las Canteras beach. Meanwhile, shopaholics can go crazy at the shopping centers.

Stop 9: Lunch

Finishing off the Las Palmas and Botanical Garden tour is a lunch break at any of the restaurants near Las Canteras beach. Take note that lunch is not included in the price.
