When visiting Dalt Vila, be prepared to explore on foot as the area is quite steep and the streets are narrow. Wear comfortable shoes, especially if you plan to wander through the winding alleyways. The upper town is quite peaceful during the day but becomes busier in the evening when locals and tourists gather to enjoy dinner or drinks. If you’re planning to visit the Ibiza Cathedral or the Archaeological Museum, check the opening hours in advance as they can vary. The district is also home to a number of local events and festivals, so if you're visiting in the summer, you may experience vibrant cultural activities.
