\"Mahon\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

With great nightlife, eateries, shopping, excursions and beaches, you are literally spoilt for choice when it comes to having things to do in Mahon.<\/p>\n

Become engrossed in Mahon\u2019s history <\/strong><\/p>\n

Mahon was once ruled by the British and with its elegant townhouses with slash windows, one cannot help but feel a sense of the town\u2019s colonial past when walking through Mahon.<\/p>\n

During the 18th<\/sup> century the English Navy had its best naval base at Mahon harbour. Even today this vibrant harbour is considered by many as the best harbour on the Mediterranean.<\/p>\n

As well as visiting the harbour, to really appreciate Mahon\u2019s history and fabulous architecture you must go and see the old town. The old city centre sits over the magnificent bay and is brimming with diverse architecture, shops with tiny facades but which boast huge interiors and a network of interesting streets, lined with incredible buildings, bars and shops.<\/p>\n

Shopping<\/strong><\/p>\n

From stylish boutiques to fantastic fish markets, shoppers really are in paradise in Mahon. The town has a great indoor market, situated in a grand cloister of stalls that sell everything from souvenirs to meat and clothing to fish.<\/p>\n

Every Saturday a market takes place on Mahon\u2019s streets, which again sells a vast array of treasures, perfect for finding a unique Menorca keepsake.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll also find a great selection of little shops and boutiques down Mahon\u2019s side streets, where you can pick up quality leather goods, famous Menorcan cheese, independent clothing and much, much more.<\/p>\n

The Mahon Express<\/strong><\/p>\n

With the sun beating down and with plenty of walking to do, it is understandable that youngsters might become tired when visiting the town of Mahon.<\/p>\n

A great way to overcome achy legs whilst in Mahon is to take the Mahon Express. This fun train departs from the Placa del Esplanda \u2013 Mahon\u2019s main square \u2013 and takes you on a 50 minute trip around the principle sights of the town.<\/p>\n

There is so much do to in Mahon that a day in Menorca\u2019s great capital city really isn\u2019t enough time to discover its many treasures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
