By air
[wiki=c555476e638103c16dca6675fc73d814]Malaga[/wiki] Airport (Aeropuerto Pablo Ruiz Picasso) is serviced by most European carriers otherwise fly in to [wiki=672566a43483aa8212cb365658600b99]Gibraltar[/wiki], although this entails a 1.5 hour drive.
-
By car
The main coast road (N340, now known as the A7) connects the major towns along the whole southern coast and Marbella is approx 30 minutes drive along the N340 from the provincial capital, Malaga. If you are prepared to pay the toll fee (around 4-6 Euros depending upon season) you can take the new AP-7 road which runs parallel to the N340, but with less traffic and higher speed limits means you will reach your destination more quickly.
-
By bus
From Malaga Airport, buy a bus ticket from the vendor facing the exit of the arrivals hall. In July 2011, a one way ticket cost under 5 Euros. The buses will arrive every hour or two on the road behind the vendor. Make sure to be there on time, since the bus leaves exactly on time, or even a minute before... The buses are modern and air conditioned. Make sure to sit on the left side of the bus if you want to see the beautiful coastal view (Although you'll get a much better view sitting on the right in the opposite direction). Without traffic (there really shouldn't be any, since the bus takes the toll road), the ride should take around 40 min.
Marbella's central bus station is right off the motor way (A-7 / E-15), right off exit 164.[http://www.ctsa-portillo.com/ima/pdf/marbella.pdf]
There are high quality regular bus services along the length of the Costa. Although cheap, the buses can run to their own timetable (!) and are often very busy in summer.

The Old Town & Orange Square - although a modern town, Marbella is full of history, its origins date back to 1600 BC so it's fair to say there is a little part of history to be found in every corner of the "old town", with its Moorish castle, and famous "Orange Square". The historical old quarter with the Andalucian/Moorish mix can still be found with its flower filled balconies and narrow streets.
* Walk through the Golden Mile - The Golden Mile is a stretch of four miles between Marbella and Puerto Banús, on which are located some of the most luxurious residences in Marbella, such as the Palace of King Fahd, as well as some landmark hotels, among them the Melia Don Pepe, the Hotel Marbella Club and the Puente Romano Hotel.
