What type of car is recommended for driving in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria?
Las Palmas is certainly a city that is best navigated in a small or medium-sized vehicle. Sedans, compacts, and small SUVs should all be quite comfortable on the road. Larger vehicles will struggle with many of the city’s one-way streets, especially in the older parts of town. Streetside parking may also be an issue for larger cars as drivers might struggle to find large enough parking spaces for them.
What’s the speed limit in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria?
Speed limits don’t vary much on the island, with the standard speed limit set to 50 km/h (31 mph) in the city and 120 km/h (75 mph) on motorways. Always adhere to posted speed limits.

Parking garages are one of the better options for visitors to Las Palmas, particularly for those who wish to check out the historical areas of the city.
