Málaga Virtual Reality Free Tour
The historic center, seen through VR glasses as it once was
This tour follows the same landmarks as Málaga's classic walking route — Plaza de la Marina, the Alcazaba, the Roman theatre — but adds a twist: at several stops, you put on VR glasses and watch the site rebuild itself in front of you, layering in walls, market stalls or fortifications that vanished centuries ago.
It's still a guided walk, not a screen-only experience — your guide narrates the history at each stop, and the headset comes out only when there's something worth reconstructing. A good option for anyone who wants the historic center's story with an extra dose of visualization.
