Úbeda Guided Visit +Tickets

During our tour of the old town of Úbeda, we'll revisit the history and culture of a city that was declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco.

Founded over two millennia ago and inhabited by all the peoples that have occupied the Iberian Peninsula, Úbeda experienced its golden age during the Renaissance. We'll explore the medieval streets of the historic center to discover the history of the city and observe the rich architecture preserved within its walls.

During the guided tour we'll admire majestic Renaissance palaces and convents erected in the 15th and 16th centuries when some of the nobility of Úbeda attained great power in the court. We'll visit the Chapel of the Savior, where one of the most influential nobles rests: Francisco de Los Cobos, secretary of Charles I. We'll also pass by other historic buildings, including the Hospital de Los Honrados Viejos de El Salvador, the Oratory of San Juan de la Cruz, the Palace of the Count of Guadiana. We'll conclude the visit by entering one of the main monuments made by the architect Andrés de Vandelvira, the Vela de Los Cobos Palace, which has one of the most important art galleries and private libraries in Andalusia.

Please note

The tour of Úbeda is free for children under 8 years old. Children between 8-11 years old are charged € 3 (US$ 3.20).

The entire tour is accessible except for the second floor of the Palacio Vela de Los Cobos, where there is no option to go upstairs.

On some occasions and for reasons beyond our control, the interior of some buildings will be closed and we'll not be able to access them.

“¡Increíble experiencia en la visita guiada por Úbeda! Queremos destacar especialmente a Nazaret, nuestra guía, quien no solo demostró un conocimiento profundo de la historia y cultura de la ciudad, sino que lo hizo con un entusiasmo contagioso. Su manera de explicar fue clara, detallada y amena, lo que hizo que todo el recorrido fuera aún más enriquecedor. Se notaba que disfrutaba de su trabajo, lo que nos hizo disfrutar aún más de la experiencia. Muy profesional, amable y atenta Translate this opinion into English.

Hemos hecho la visita con Nazaret y me ha parecido una gran profesional. Te cuenta las cosas como si fuera la primera vez que lo hacía, con mucho entusiasmo y detalles. Sobre todo me ha gustado la forma de contar las cosas muy despacio y haciendo pausas. Es muy recomendable hacer este tipo de actividad para saber la historia de cada municipio o región Translate this opinion into English.

We did the tour with Nazareth and I thought she was a great professional. She tells you things as if it were the first time she was doing it, with a lot of enthusiasm and details. Above all, I liked the way she tells things very slowly and with pauses. It is highly recommended to do this type of activity to learn about the history of each municipality or region.

Nuestra guía fue Nazaret, amena y con explicaciones interesantes .El Palacio de los Cobos me parece que no merece el tiempo que se le dedica, seguro que hay en Úbeda visitas más interesantes que podrían remplazar a este último. El mausoleo sin embargo es fundamental verlo con una buena explicación como la que nos dio Nazaret y que cambia por completo la visión del monumento. Translate this opinion into English.

Our guide was Nazaret, who was pleasant and provided interesting explanations. I think that the Palacio de los Cobos is not worth the time spent there, there are certainly more interesting visits in Úbeda that could replace the latter. The mausoleum, however, is essential to see with a good explanation like the one Nazaret gave us, which completely changes the view of the monument. Opinion translated. Show original.
