Zaragoza Free Walking Tour

Description

We'll start our free tour of Zaragoza in Plaza del Pilar, next to the monument to Goya. We'll take a minute to appreciate La Lonja, a city building with Aragonese Renaissance-style architecture built in the first half of the 16th century. From here, we'll be able to admire the beautiful Ebro River.

Next, we'll head to the Museum of the Roman Forum, located in the Plaza de la Seo, where we'll find the Roman remains of what was the centre of Caesaraugusta - the name of the city in Roman times. We'll also find one of the two Cathedrals in Zaragoza, La Seo, also known as the Catedral de San Salvador as well as Wall of the Parroquieta - declared a World Heritage Site. 

We'll wander through the narrow streets of its historic centre to discover the most picturesque corners of the city, such as the Casa del Deán. Our next stop will be the Roman Theatre, an architectural marvel that takes us back to Roman times. From here, we'll make our way to El Tubo, the city's tapas area - we'll give you the best recommendations for a tasty tapa! Then we'll continue our tour to one of the highlights of the tour as we cross the Calle Alfonso I and enter the passage of the "Ciclón", preserved since the 19th century. 

Welcome to the Plaza del Pilar, one of the largest pedestrian squares in Europe! Here we'll see the Town Hall, the Fountain of Hispanidad and, of course, the monumental Cathedral-Basilica of Nuestra Señora. 

But it doesn't end here! We'll also see the Church of San Juan de los Panetes with its characteristic tower, the Roman walls, the monument to Caesar Augustus and the great Central Market. Zaragoza is nicknamed the 'City of the Four Cultures' since throughout history great civilisations have occupied the country have inhabited this city. The Torreón de la Zuda is a living testimony of the Muslim legacy in the city. We'll finish our free tour of Zaragoza in the Plaza de San Felipe, a beautiful square in the city. Before we say goodbye, we'll give you some top recommendations and places not to miss in this amazing city.
