Plan your time ashore in Ibiza
Ibiza cruise ships normally berth at the Botafoc cruise quays across the harbour from the old town, so the first transfer matters even though Dalt Vila is visible from the pier.
Before going ashore
Before going ashore, confirm the berth or tender point, local time, all-aboard deadline, and the meeting location for any independently booked transport or tour.

Arrival, terminals and getting into town

Where your ship arrives
The Balearic port plan assigns cruise traffic to the Botafoc area and shows the passenger facilities and cruise berths there.
Getting into town
Botafoc is connected to Ibiza Town by harbour roads and promenades, but a shuttle, taxi, or local bus is the practical start for Dalt Vila and the central waterfront.
Port shuttle
Ship shuttle arrangements vary by call; use the announced city drop-off and keep its last-return time, especially for evening calls.
Taxi and local transport
Botafoc has a managed taxi pickup area, but queues can lengthen when ships overlap; allow extra time or use the ship transfer.
Airport and hotel transfers
Aena places Ibiza Airport 7.5 km from Ibiza Town; the Botafoc cruise quay requires a separate road transfer.

About Ibiza
Hedonistic and historic, Eivissa (Ibiza, in Castilian) is a city jam-packed with cafés, nightspots, and trendy shops; looming over it are the massive stone walls of Dalt Vila —the medieval city declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1999—and its Gothic cathedral. Squeezed between the north walls of the old city and the harbor is Sa Penya, a long labyrinth of stone-paved streets that offer some of the city's best offbeat shopping, snacking, and exploring. The tourist information office on Vara de Rey has a useful map of walks through the old city.
