Menorca Tourist Board

Why Choose Our Destination?

Located less than an hour from major Spanish cities and two hours from main European cities, Menorca is an extremely popular tourist destination at a very reachable distance. From prehistoric times up to the present, Menorca has seen the presence of several different cultures thanks to its strategic situation in the middle of the Western Mediterranean, which has historically made it highly coveted as a stopover and shelter port. Each of these cultures has left a rich historical legacy behind them, which explains why the easternmost territory of the Balearic Islands is a land with outstanding heritage. This is why historians and archaeologists consider Menorca a genuine open-air museum. Both its prehistory and history are surprisingly intense for such a small piece of land.
