Explore Mahón: history, culture and nature
Mahón, Menorca’s capital, is a city full of history and character. Its vast natural harbour, excellent food and lively streets make it an essential stop on the island. Yet the sea offers another way to discover its character, with clear waters and a beautiful coastline to explore.
For a distinctive, private experience, hiring a boat in Menorca lets you discover places that are difficult to reach by land, hidden coves and impressive scenery in comfort.
Essential sights in Mahón
The old town
Mahón’s streets reflect its rich history through colonial-era buildings, old churches and attractive squares. Look out for Santa Maria Church and the Town Hall, both notable for their architecture.
Claustre del Carme Market
A good place to discover local produce, including Mahón cheese, cured meats and Menorcan wines. It makes an appealing food stop before a boat trip.

Housed in a former Franciscan convent, the museum explores the island’s history from prehistoric times to the present.
