Overview
Ibiza Town is built around Dalt Vila, a walled hilltop old town that is a UNESCO site and considerably older than the island's reputation. The clubbing scene is real and concentrated; the north of the island is rural and quiet. Which Ibiza you get depends almost entirely on where you book. Under three hours from Dublin.
