Travelling back in time without leaving Ibiza is possible.
From 7 to 10 May, Eivissa Medieval returns to fill the city with magic, history and incredible activities to enjoy your family holidays in Ibiza.
3 tips for enjoying Ibiza's medieval fair with children
To make the most of this family holiday, here are a few handy tips that can make all the difference…
It's best to arrive early so that you can explore the areas at your leisure, especially if you have young children. This way, you can enjoy the shows and explore the market at your leisure.
It is also advisable to wear comfortable shoes, as the route to Dalt Vila includes cobbled streets and some slopes.
During the event, a bus service is usually provided to make it easier to get to Eivissa Medieval, which is ideal for families who prefer not to drive.
And one essential tip: just go with the flow. Beyond seeing specific shows, the best thing about Eivissa Medieval is getting lost in its streets, discovering unexpected corners and letting the children be surprised by every detail.
If you're wondering what to do with children in Ibiza in May, this fair is one of those experiences that turns a family holiday on the White Island into an unforgettable memory.
Colour, history and fun are what make us special
For four days, the city centre is completely transformed to celebrate one of the most special events of the year. From Vara de Rey and the Plaza del Parque to the Cathedral at the top of Dalt Vila, every corner is full of life and medieval atmosphere.
Strolling through these streets is an experience for those travelling with children. Banners decorate balconies, old-time music plays on every corner and characters from another era wander through the city, surprising young and old alike.
Dalt Vila, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999, is the perfect setting for this journey back in time, where history and fun blend naturally.
It’s definitely one of those family activities in Ibiza that helps children learn almost without realising it, while enjoying a unique atmosphere.
