Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This castle in the dalt vila region or the old town is a must visit when in Ibiza. There are quite a few steps to the top and the narrow lanes but is worth the effort. Views from the top are simply amazing. Sunset times could be ideal. Few shops around the lanes welcome the guests. Only setback is no cover for unexpected rains.

This is the historical side of Ibiza, the old town within the castle. Can't miss that, you’ll see it from every part of the town, easy to get to it and free
For those that are not there only for fun and summer thrill this is a must. I was there mid-February, the town was quiet and relaxed before the spring break and summer madness, perfect time to visit.
Topical narrow, cobbled stone streets going up to the cathedral and the upper terraces with wonder view.
Most shops and pubs were closed but again, it didn’t bother me, take your time, this is worth spending the whole afternoon.

This castle sits on top of the hill in Ibiza old town. It is beautiful culture architecture. It stood as a defensive fortress to Spain drone of the wars! But, today, it housed residents who owns bars and restaurants which is apparently quite a site to visit at night. It was not our scene but I can imagine it was be a sight.
During the day, the place was desolate and quite which we enjoyed walking and watching life. There were lots of shops and boutiques. There were lots of hippie stores.
Walking up to the viewpoint were spectacular. It was a really enjoyable stroll around the old town.

Breathtaking- not literally! A mix of tradition and cosmopolitan feel, crowded but you had room to breath. It was the perfect romantic walk. Hint: There is always more to see, twice we almost ended our walk by accident. Reach the top to the clock, come back from the other side at the port, end in an amazing luxurious plaza

We spent about three hours in Ibiza town. It was 30c so that was enough, I'm in my 70s and was with daughter and 8 year old grandson. We made our way up to the walls and then wended our way back through the little streets, stopping for drink on the way. THe views were superb, had it been cooler I would have been happy to go to the top.

Beautiful, winding complex with a great view of Eivissa and the surrounding area. And above all, with the best mojito I've ever had next to the convent. Everything was clean and I could feel the spirit of the place. At the moment, the fortress is being repaired in some places.

When in Ibiza Town a trip up to the Castle is a must. It will take you a while as the walk way does wind around, however this year there were a couple of new short cuts as they are renovating the whole castle. The views from the top are fantastic and there are plenty of bars and cafes en-route up and down to quench your thirst and hunger on hot days. Get off you backside and go explore

While in Ibiza last summer we stumbled upon a castle like structure built into one of the hills there. If you go to Old Ibiza Town you can get to it. The entrance looks is a draw bridge, and once you enter you will see that the castle itself has all these little homes built into it - very quaint.
If you can find your way through the winding cobble streets, there is a ramp at the top of the castle, with the most amazing city views.
I highly recommend going to see this. Its about the only site seeing we did when we were there and its a nice esacpe from the clubs and beaches.

This is a must, don't make the same mistake I did and wear sandels with no grip on the sole as it's very steep and windy and can be slippy on the stones. Lots of lovely little bars and some stunning restaurants as you go in from the Old Town. We went during the day but a friend of mine suggested that the evening would be better as it's all lit up. There are so many little pathways to follow but make sure you stop at points and take in the views, it's fabulous. How did they get the cranes up the top????

Is there any car parking near the castle please? Thankyou
Written 19 August 2019
I'm not sure, but theres a very large carpark on your way into the town it's on your right near Mc Donald's nit far to walk from there the Plazza is well worth the visit to eat at Hard Rock Cafe is very good.

Es buena idea alquilar por dos o tres días un auto para recorrer la Isla, hay muchos problemas para aparcar?
Written 3 January 2018
I do not speak spanish, but I give you the answer in English.
During mid- & low season it should not be a problem to get around with a car. Parking outside the cities/countryside is then no problem. In the Cities a bit more full. High season July/August is not recommended! Far too crowded.

yes , you just have to see what hours the Cathederal is open and some shops in the area

Hello, I am planning to visit Ibiza in October 2016. Are there any days / times wherein the Castle will be closed to tourists? Are we required to buy tickets? if so, how much would each cost? Appreciate your advice.
