Menorca's old capital is a fascinating blend of medieval and Arab flavours, which also has a rich architectural heritage. It is well placed for exploring the island's famous archaeological remains.
As a port, Ciudadela does not have any beaches of its own - the nearest is at Cala'n Blanes, 4km away. A little further along the north coast is Binimel-la, claimed by Minorcans to have the nicest beaches on the island.
Ciudadela is renowned for is wide selection of restaurants, many specialising in seafood and paella. Some are built directly into the rock face, looking out over the sea. There's a variety of decors and ambiences ranging from a maritime theme through to modern chic.
