Mid-morning – Take a food tour in Ibiza Town
After breakfast, the best way to explore Ibiza’s food scene with local knowledge is through one of the private Ibiza food tours run by Food Tours Balearics. The tour takes you through a curated set of local restaurants and bars in the capital, combining traditional Ibizan dishes with the stories behind them.

Afternoon snacks and exploring
After lunch, take time to explore. Wander through Dalt Vila’s cobbled streets or head to the coast for a swim. The old walled city of Dalt Vila is a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the most atmospheric places in the Balearics. The restaurants inside the walls are worth knowing about for a late afternoon drink or a light snack. If you’re peckish, Ibiza is full of snack stops and cafes where you can grab ice cream, fresh fruit, or churros with chocolate.

If you love markets, pop into a local one to see fresh produce and taste olives, cheese, or pastries.
