A lot of attractions and fun, especially for children. The queues for the Tubotronc are a bit frustrating. The hours set on the reservation don't matter, so don't worry if you are late for them. You will be allowed to go to the Tubotronc, but you will have to wait at the queue. The restaurant there (or whatever this is) is avarage, but it is the only option to have something to eat there.

Had a great experience absolutely loved the Tobotrobc - wish we could have gone down more times. Brilliant! We were really sad the Forestline wasn’t open. And that the camera was broken on the Tobotronc as we were hoping to buy this. Definitely call and check in advance to see what’s open.

The correct name could be Moneyland.. since the prices are too high for the proposed (and open) attractions. 2 adults and 2 childrens = 170euro but you can do only one round on the top attraction tobotronc, even if the second one was closed that day without no any notice. It was June 21st and the park wasn't too full so we aske for a second tour on the Tobotronc but they said no, even if in that moment it was empty... Considering also the very low taxes in Andorra their prices are too excessive for the services and the proposed (open) attractions.

Amazing experience, I enjoyed horse riding with my guide Paolla (i hope I spelled her name right 😅 ), the activities were great and fun. The staff were amazingly helpful and friendly.

Beautiful and cold place for family day trip. We enjoyed and had fun, Might be a bit overpriced but the slider was really good experience (we took the parents ticket for the slider which was ~22 euros)

If you enjoy queing this is the place for you. Didn't explain when we arrived the time on the ticket for tobotronic so we went to que told we would need to wait 2 hours 30 minutes to que for it. Then took another hour queing after turning up our allocated time to get on the ride. The Airtrek and zip line is another joke at one point there was no one on it as everyone was queuing for the zipline and no one else was allowed on the airtrek. The more expensive aventura ticket was fully booked when we got there so wasnt allowed to do the forest line. SUGGEST IF YOU WANT TO DO IT BOOK ONLINE VERY EARLY MORNING TICKET.

Old shooting range in La Rabassa converted into an amusement park for children, in Tubotronc, star attraction, a little too long a wait but very fun. Tickets are not sold just for this attraction, you have to buy the entire entrance to the park, a little expensive.

A mountain peak with observatory, restaurant & amazing views... if the sky is clear! When we visited there were a few interesting exhibits, with a photo history of the peak and a sun-tracking telescope where one could see flares. We booked the first cable car of the day so found it nice and quiet. Cost is hard to justify but if you like views and are in the area it's the place to be.

Although very “ touristic” I deeply recommend it. Be careful: it is an experience that takes at least 3-4 hours , including the line to the cable car up and down. At the pic , a cafe that is very expensive, so bring your own coffee and food… Also the area that the guests can walk through is very limited to 2 angles, you cannot look at views 360 degrees around which was very disappointing …

we first became aware of this through a television programme and decided that we had to do it. we wanted to book and overnight visit as we felt that this would give us the best experience. so in August 2023 we booked for July 2025, yes the wait is that long. when the time finally arrived needless to say we were very excited. We arrived at the cable car and were transported to the observatory, we were greeted and had to wait for someone who could speak some English as although we can speak fluent Spanish our French is not so good. we were given directions to our room and then told that we needed to be at a certain point for the welcome meeting. Our room was basic but clean and comfortable. we were not expecting luxury as we are aware that this is a working observatory, but the bed was super comfortable and the views from the windows we breathtaking. we arrived at the welcoming meeting to discover that all of the planned activities would only be conducted in French, we asked if there was any information available for non French speakers only to be told no. Whilst the staff did everything that they could to help and make our stay the best that they could, they struggled to communicate with us. This basically meant that 98% of the planned activities were simply not accessible to us. We missed the planned tour of the facilities as this was only in French so there was not point in us attending this. Dinner was really very good and the food and drink were exceptional. The sunset was spectacular followed by a short film, which did have an English translation, however the following planetarium activity was again only available in French. The night time stars were lovely and although we did get to look through a large telescope the explanations and information meant nothing to us as once again it was only in French. We did have a great time, but for the cost that we paid, to have 98% of the activities simply not available to us it was disappointing. This is a service that attracts and international clientele, to assume that everyone who attends will be able to speak fluent French is completely unrealistic. Not to have written information or audio guides available is simply lazy or arrogant. So my warning would be that yes the experience was amazing it was somewhat ruined by the fact that we were completely excluded from the majority of the planned experiences that were available. if you do not speak fluent French then maybe you should reconsider booking an overnight stay.

We skipped all the touristic attractions like the cafe and the cable car and came here by foot. Starting from Col du Tourmalet you'll have to cover 14,4 km (round-trip) and 740 m of altitude to reach the mountaintop. Most of the path is a wide road, pretty easy to walk on. However, the topmost part is more difficult, narrow, stony and slippery. I would recommend the path only to trained people with sure-footedness and mountain-experience and without vertigo. In any case, don't forget to bring good shoes, sunscreen, food and a sufficient(!!) amount of water. It is a beautiful hike amidst rocks, sheep, lakes, ruins, mountain-flowers and lizzards. You also have a chance to glimpse griffon vultures at close range. The summit itself is beautiful and scenic, looking down on the mountain ranges and snowy tops of the Pyrenees.

Beautiful experience on a sunny day. A petty that we can’t see anymore eternal snow with the global warming. A must to do.

Appalling tourist trap. If you can hike up, sure, that's the way to see this mountain, but paying €160 to be packed like sardines into the telecabine, then restricted to a terrace without access to the mountain itself, was lousy. The restaurant was over €50 each (for a burger), maybe it was nice but we didn't splash. The bistro had coffee & cakes. The planetarium show at €6 each, was just dire - a 20 minute reenactment of early days at the observatory, followed by the most basic explanation of Hydrogen forming stars, without any use of astronomical images.

Great experience - and a must-go in the Pyrenees. The cable car ride is a great adventure in itself - and the view from the platform is awesome! The bistro is a particularly great experience - very nice service and a large selection.

As a catholic, I’m writing this review with great pleasure and joy. It was my first time in Lourdes and I felt so special and blessed. Please note there’s a candlelight procession happening at 9pm at night every day from April to October. Also there are several mass services in different churches in the premises. You can buy bottles from near by shops and fill holy water. There’s staff that help you with information and guiding you through. Have a pleasant pilgrimage Our Lady of Lourdes, Pray for us

If you are a devotee of the Mother of Jesus Mary, if you are desperate for healing, this place makes miracles. So many devotees from around the world would flock this Holy place. So many proven miracles of healing that science couldn't explain. A beautiful place for everyone to experience the love of Mother Mary expressed through feelings of hope and love for Jesus and his mother.

A Place of Deep Faith, Peace, and Healing The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes is one of the most moving and spiritual places in the world. From the moment you enter the grounds, there is an overwhelming sense of peace, faith, and reverence. The atmosphere is filled with quiet devotion, where pilgrims from all over the world come to pray, reflect, and find healing. The Grotto of Massabielle, where the Virgin Mary appeared to Saint Bernadette, is incredibly serene — especially during the evening candlelight procession, a truly unforgettable experience of unity and prayer. The basilicas, chapels, and walkways are beautifully maintained, and everything radiates a feeling of hope and grace. Whether you visit for spiritual reasons or simply to experience its profound tranquility, Lourdes touches the heart in a very special way. A sacred destination that inspires faith and peace beyond words.

Visiting here for the first time was truly breathtaking. The sanctuary is grand, magnificent, and more beautiful than any place I have ever seen. If you visit, you will feel the same wonder and excitement that I felt.

Lovely day taking in the beauty of Lourdes and it's surroundings. Very quiet on a Monday as most places were shut, but we did manage to find one place selling gorgeous crepes.

Beautiful grounds. Inspiring architecture. It's like a religious Disneyland. Healing waters. Round the clock rosary. 25000 seat basilica.

It is good to visit in early November, when it is much less visitors. I stayed for 6 days and having a serene time and a profound spiritual experience.

An amazing adventure to Pico Perdido. Solo climbed it from La Pradesa Ordessa via Ruta de Escaleras(5 resaltes), this is a unique route than the normal route via La Escupidera, but for experts only as it involves exposed section, dangerous when climbing without ropes. The summit is wonderful with open views all around.

I absolutely love this place. It has all the ingredients for an optimal encounter between yourself and nature at its best. No matter your age, as long as you can open your eyes, the views and the landscape will take your breath away. Pure oxygen will enter into your lungs with every single step you take while contemplating the creation god has given to us. There are trails for amateurs as well as experience hickers. If you happen to be near this area please do take the time to endulge in nature.

Super gorgeous. Easy to park and you can easily hike all day here.

It's beautiful, but watch out for the aliens! 👽

This outstanding mountain landscape, which spans the contemporary national borders of France and Spain, is centred around the peak of Mount Perdu, a calcareous massif that rises to 3,352 m. The site, with a total area of 30,639 ha, includes two of Europe's largest and deepest canyons on the Spanish side and three major cirque walls on the more abrupt northern slopes with France, classic presentations of these geological landforms. The site is also a pastoral landscape reflecting an agricultural way of life that was once widespread in the upland regions of Europe but now survives only in this part of the Pyrénées. Thus it provides exceptional insights into past European society through its landscape of villages, farms, fields, upland pastures and mountain roads. UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITES

The warm welcome by the underground command center personnel was the best part, although the hike is also nice. The static electricity near the transceiver on the surface level is a bit much though.

Breath breaking canyon full of waterfalls and different animals as marmots.

It's cool, and quick to see, but a big part of the castle is not accessible.

Beautiful house to look round, a sign in English in every room, the guide that takes you round is all in French but was still excellent! And good value at 7 euros per person

It's a great chateau! We would have enjoyed it more if there were a guided tour in English. We could not visit the chateau without a private tour, and they were all in French. I speak Portuguese and Spanish, but that didn't help at all while trying to understand the guide! I want to learn French so I don't miss anything like this again!!! The staff was great and I highly recommend the visit!

Nice for a guided tour. Refurbished in the 19th century. Birthplace of Henry the 4th.

The castle exterior is fabulous. Unfortunately, we were unable to tour the inside as we did not know that the first Sunday of the month is free entry and they had reached their maximum at 4:00 pm. No doubt it would have been a great visit.

Renewed castle nicely equipped with newer and older furniture, tapestries, curtains. Nice to see. Admission is 10 eur and only in guided groups (app. 10-25 people) but all guidance is in French. There are plaques with basic inscriptions in French. English and Spanish.

A very beautiful place and very important for visiting in pau. It's so nice, Their guide explains very well... You can feel the short history of Henry IV and his childhood Just in the weekend it is very important to know about their time because of the numbers of visitors maybe you have to wait a lot.

A very interesting walk around the neighbourhood looking at all the old mansions. If you have any interest in period architecture, you'll love looking at these houses.

Dont miss to walk around this place. The Houses (“Villas”) have a particular hybride style. It’s a mixing of different times, places and architectural styles so the result is quite eclectical. Most of this houses were built mainly at the end of the XVIII siecle.

A short walk from Arcachon train station.

Interesting looking at these kate 1800 - early 1900 buildings albeit many are understandably behind hedges and walls

Very nice part with old villas.

Very nice residential area in Arcachon! Plenty of nice Villas! Good for a 2 hours walk

Fabulous area to walk around away from the tourist beaches. Quiet streets with lots of interesting large houses, many well preserved and maintained. Plenty of benches to stop and rest while wandering around. Also several nice parks in the vicinity.

We combined a trip to Bordeaux with this so ended here at the beginning of the evening (at 18:00). We parked not at the formal entrance, but a bit down the road where we had to walk between the bushes and made a steep climb onto the dune. Challenging! But the view is amazing and coming there in the evening gives very nice pictures with the sunset (and it's not so crowded). We swam for a short while and went back before it got dark. The way down is much faster ;-)

Rising over 100 m above the Bassin d’Arcachon, Europe’s tallest sand dune and natural colossus draws nearly two million visitors each year. Families climb its soft flank for sweeping views across forest and ocean, while removable staircases and marked paths channel footfall to reduce erosion. At peak times, up to 17,000 people ascend daily, and archaeologists descend to preserve prehistoric revelations. Recognised as a Grand Site National since 1978, it is both geological wonder and leisure magnet, shaped by four millennia of wind and time.

An unforgettable natural wonder — the Dune du Pilat near Arcachon is the largest sand dune in Europe and absolutely stunning. It’s easy to access, yet feels like stepping into another world. If you want to see something truly extraordinary just beyond your doorstep, this is the place to go!

Great views of the surrounding countryside. Be ready for a good climb if you want to reach the top though as there are plenty of steps to navigate, make sure you have some comfy footwear. The parking is €7, but that also covers the cost of the visit for as long as you want, so it was very good value for money. The parking areas are also very shaded so your car won’t be an oven when you return from your travels. It was busy when we visited, but as the fine is so large it didn’t feel overcrowded.

We passed by on our route to Bilbao - what a stop, what an impressive piece of landscape. Well organized with a beautiful wooden tourist „village“!!

If in area this is a must see! This is one long 2km dune along the coast. It seems so out of place. The view from the top of the dune overlooking the bay is stunning. There is one set of stairs to assist with your climb.

Do I still need to introduce the majestic Dune of Pilat, the highest dune in Europe, which continues to amaze me years after years with its immensity and breathtaking landscapes ? Dominating the entrance to the Arcachon Bay, it stretches over 500 meters wide, reaches nearly 102 meters high and offers a spectacular panorama. From its summit, the view takes in the Atlantic Ocean, the Landes forest, the Cap-Ferret peninsula, the Banc d'Arguin and the bay. This masterpiece of nature, fragile and in perpetual movement, moves each year from one to five meters towards the forest, grain by grain, testifying to thousands of years of history and the incredible dynamics of the elements. Reaching this exceptional site is now facilitated by modern and well-designed facilities. A new cycle path leads to the site's entrance, and a pedestrian axis designed as a promenade crosses the reception area, inviting you to stroll before undertaking the climb. It can also be reached by bus or even by boat, making the Dune a destination accessible to all. Since summer 2023, the completely renovated reception area offers cultural and restaurant shops open year-round, and a seasonal staircase, installed from April to October, allows you to gently climb the dune from the back while preserving this natural site. Once at the top, the magic happens. At low tide, the sandbanks reveal heavenly hues, particularly the Banc d'Arguin National Nature Reserve, which stretches below. In summer, the Dune of Pilat attracts many visitors ; to fully enjoy the tranquility of the place, it is best to come early in the morning or at the end of the day. The golden hours of sunrise and sunset offer unique moments where the light enhances every detail of the landscape ! In summer, sunset walks are particularly popular for experiencing a moment outside of time. Hikes, storytelling walks, and educational workshops also enrich the visitor experience. Listed nationally and included in the Réseau des Grands Sites de France (Great Sites of France), the Dune of Pilat is exemplarily managed by the Syndicat Mixte de la Grande Dune du Pilat, in partnership with the Conservatoire du Littoral (Coastal Protection Agency). These preservation and development efforts ensure a balance between welcoming the public and protecting the natural environment. The revenue from parking is entirely reinvested in the management of the site : waste collection, naturalist monitoring and free environmental education tools ... This great lady of sand, witness to history and natural forces, continues to fascinate with its movement, its scale and the diversity of the landscapes it dominates. A visit to the Dune of Pilat is the assurance of an unforgettable encounter with an exceptional site, constantly evolving, in the heart of the Arcachon basin ...

We decided to take a slight detour to see this Monastery and boy it didn't disappoint! Increadible views as we drove up, had to stop a couple of times to take it in. We had a lovely warm and clear day so got some nice pictures with the drone as well. We had a nice gentle walk round, lots of things to look at and read. Couldn't help but feel that some of the site has lost its authenticity due to the rather significant restoration and preservative measures that have been done since its renovation. Still highly recommend though.

So glad we went the drive up is incredible the views are just breathtaking. The new monastery looks very it of place but that's only because you pass the outside of the old first. Both are incredible buildings with such history attached to them. We purchased the book and took the audio guide round which made the experience better.

Buy a ticket at the more modern monestary before driving further down to the older site as they don't sell them there. It is well worth a visit! Gorgeous views if you continue your journey down the mountain

This exquisite monastic building, where the grail was once supposed to be kept, (just copy on display now(see photo)) is cut into the rock on the side of a mountain. You can hike the twenty kilometres up from Jaca ( but bring lots of water in the summer as it's hot and humid) and its well worth the effort. Exterior has immaculate brickwork and windows while the inner church has an atmospheric apse and nave.

One could not have thought that in the middle of the most beautiful scenery one could find this wonderful and unusual museum. A burnt monastery surrounded by history, rescued in the most amazing way. A visit well worth the trip.

Cashing in on a natural wonder! A 30 minute drive from Jaca - a wasted journey. You have to pay to even see the outside! They don't let you park and walk up to see the wonder of the boulder over the monastery. They make you drive all the way up to the new monastery and pay for entry and a shuttle bus to go back down to see it. And at €12 it's not worth it for us! Very disappointing! Tried to take photos so you can see it but sadly they didn't come out well.

Beautiful and really special. You can explore and discover how the monks used to live by walking over the remains of the monastery. White sculptures visually describe monastic life.

Fantastic aquarium,bought tickets online to safe the queue.Loved seals being fed ,one wee naughty one 😆. Well worth the money ,really enjoyed it. Perhaps a buggy park somewhere to save congestion when busy might help .

Fantastic aquarium- however we didn’t realise there was no parking at the actual a aquarium (because of where it is located) so don’t just put it into google maps without planning a car park first. The a aquarium itself was really well laid out and in two separate buildings. Some amazing fish and the jelly fish were spectacular. And my kids loved seeing the turtles and hammer head sharks. Also take time to appreciate the amazing art work and how it was created. Would throughly recommend.

Great museum with lots of fun jellyfish, octopus, seals, sharks and turtles as well as fun fish. Well curated, but a bit expensive at 46 eur for two adults and a kid.

It was a good aquarium with some very pretty jellyfish and seals. The other attractions were quite interesting too. Missing 1 star because they let too many people in at a time, we were crammed in like sardines.

The aquarium offers a decent variety of marine life, with the large shark tank being a highlight, providing an impressive view. I highly recommend a visit. However, the seal tank had noticeable algae growth, giving us a cloudy view. The seals are fed twice a day, once in the morning and again in the evening, so I recommend timing your visit for one of the feedings to enhance your experience.

My kid is almost two and he love it! Is not huge is big enough to spend 2 hours on it and is walkable for kids. They have a lot of sharks and spaces to sit and enjoy the fishes. A snack space, seals, turtles and a beautiful view. It was not super full so you can enjoy it with the stroller with not a problem.

The only downside is that they do the seal feeding fully in French. I didn’t understand a single word. But my experience with the place was very positive. Really enjoyed the effort they put into this park. And the ticket price is worth it for sure; even it’s just to see the shark tanks, or hang out with Izar and Charlie.

Nice outcrop from the headland over a cool bridge. Was great the day we visited as it was after a storm so the seas were quite wild and waves crashing along the shore which made it more special. Not much to do there other than stroll out to it and admire the views. As your in Biarritz check it out and walk on from there through the streets to the port and palace beach

A very nice vantage point to see the miramar beach and plage de la Côte des Basque. Very nice views during sunset. Adventurous swimmer and divers often jump up from here to the sea.

A delightful place to reach with a short nice walk and to enjoy at sunset. Surely there are always tons of tourists, but still, the place is attractive and full of photo opportunities.

Great place. Must see in Biarritz. You can fee the power of the ocean. Picturesqe place for a romantic walk. Beautiful sunsets, great sunglight of the sunrise as well. Have a great walk!

Beautiful spot. Biarritz has blown me away with its location, scenery and blend with the sea

Amazing view of the beach and the sea, sometimes there was an artist who was selling the paintings for cheap, and there are paid telescopes. The waves sometimes are huge and can splash over the ledge, so be careful! Video from the Autumn.

Great place to view the coast of biarritz with many amenities nearby

Dear Duty Manager, I am writing to express my profound dissatisfaction with my recent stay at your hotel, which has regrettably concluded with my early departure and relocation to the Gran Hotel La Perla. Staff and Service Issues: The reception staff demonstrated a consistent lack of professionalism and helpfulness throughout my stay. I observed a marked difference in their demeanor when assisting Spanish-speaking guests versus others, which is unacceptable in any hospitality establishment. Every reasonable request I made was met with responses such as “we can’t do that,” “no sorry,” or worse, false information and blank stares. This is not the service standard one expects from a property charging rates comparable to a Hyatt Regency or Mandarin Oriental. Dining Experience: The in-room dining hours are woefully inadequate, and the menu offerings were utterly tasteless. The hotel restaurant was shameful in its execution. For context, the Auberge in Zubiri where I dined yesterday delivered an experience approaching Michelin-star quality - a stark and embarrassing contrast to your establishment. Room Conditions: The room itself was substandard in multiple respects: • Overly starched, uncomfortable linens • No air conditioning or adequate cooling system • Dirty bathroom upon arrival • Television remote control held together with tape • An antiquated television with no modern connectivity options (no screen sharing capability) • Insufficient pillows (which I had to specifically request) • Intrusive lighting from the pool area that illuminated my room to an unbearable degree throughout the evening Value Proposition: Your hotel charges premium rates that match genuinely luxury properties, yet delivers a 4-star experience at best - and frankly, even that rating feels generous given my experience. This represents exceptionally poor value and, quite frankly, misleading positioning in the market. Management Perspective: I must address what appears to be a fundamental misunderstanding by your management team: not all Camino pilgrims stay in hostels. Many of us, myself included, regularly patronize 5-star establishments for respite during our journey. We are experienced travelers who frequently review accommodations, dining, and travel services. Your assumption that pilgrims represent a lower-tier clientele is both incorrect and insulting. Resolution: I have absorbed the cancellation fees and relocated to the Gran Hotel La Perla, where I should have trusted my instincts to book initially. I hope by posting a detailed review on Google will assist other travelers in my position be forewarned. They deserve to know they should either continue walking or stay at the superior property across the plaza. I expect no response to this complaint, as my experience suggests it would likely be another “we can’t do that.” However, I sincerely hope you will use this feedback to reassess your service standards, facility maintenance, and approach to guest relations. Regards, P.

Could be a lovely place to stay with some simple changes. The location was great, although parking at the hotel expensive. We parked a little way from the hotel which allowed us to enjoy walking through Pamplona’s beautiful gardens. Our room was spacious, but no kettle. Fridge very small and didn’t work properly. Some of the staff very unfriendly. The lady who checked us in was clearly not having a good day or needs another job. Lovely drinks area but very unfriendly service. Thank goodness for Sylvia who was absolutely delightful and helpful.

Great place to stay in Pamplona, in the heart of the old city. Secure parking - height limit of 3m - so ideal for those travelling in small camper vans. Access to the parking is easy, just behind/below the swimming pool. Excellent service, helpful, knowledgeable staff. Good quality buffet breakfast - however there are many places nearby to eat too. Highly recommend this hotel.

Really helpful and friendly staff. Very eclectic decor in our dark suite. For a suite in a boutique hotel it really lacked bathroom products. The TV was a really tiny one, screwed to the wall high up on the wall only watchable from the bed. It was totally unwatchable from the 2x chairs ( not even a sofa) in the the sparsely-furnished sitting area.

Could be a very nice hotel (given location, and quality of building) but let down by unfriendly and rude staff and items not working in our room (bar fridge and safe). Also parking at the hotel is expensive, and cheaper alternatives are a 20 min walk away.

Top location very close to the busy old city centre from Pamplona, very comfortable rooms (some with view of the green) and a very friendly and professional staff at reception = top location to visit Pamplona (a plus: upon reservation since limited number, this hotel provides for a parking).

Great stay. Valet parking (I guess temporarily because the garage is under construction). Very friendly young lady at the reception. Good restaurant (we did not have breakfast), pet friendly,... If there's a remark to give: the 2 young ladies taking care of the restaurant should scan more the tables (look around more) to see if people want attention. More selling would have happened if they'd done so. But they surely were friendly too.

I loved the size of the beach. Despite the crowds, it never felt overcrowded. If you enjoy proper swimming, you can swim long distances across the width of the beach. There are also several good restaurants within walking distance. Plus, there’s convenient access to public restrooms. I would definitely recommend it.

Beautiful beach. Mostly always well kept. Even if you don't like sand is very nice to stroll along just about any time of day.

Fantastic city beach with safe swimming water. There is an arched promenade allowing for shade if needed with young children.

One cannot come to San. Sebastian and not come to the beach. For goodness sake, this is the paradise part of SS. Full of people but ALWAYS enough space for everyone. Amazing and a must come for the sunshine!

Very beautiful in picture beach in the centre of Saint Sebastian. I really love my visit to the spot. Lots of people enjoying the weather and the scenic view. Around the beach area, there is plenty to see, including tourist attractions and spots to enjoy refreshments and food.

As far as I can tell it is no less than the most beautiful city beach or bay in Europe. Of course you have to be lucky with the weather, as on hot days it feels like the whole city is digging through the sand. The huge dimensions only become clear on a walk or a drive up one of the two hills (Monte Igueldo or Urgull). It is a little unusual that there is so little catering right on the promenade.

Stunning city beach! Great moment for a nice walk at the beach a few meters only from the city center. Definitely a place to be in this city

We were recommended to visit this castle by a member of staff at the parador at Calahorra. Whilst it was a detour from our planned route, it was most certainly worth it. A stunning building and an entrance fee which was unbelievably low, for people of a "more mature age". Indeed had this been an historic building in the UK, possibly run by the National Trust, the entrance would have been a minimum of 10 times the fee in Olite. It is wonderful to see how the Spanish authorities are, when it comes to restoration and maintenance of their historic sites. This castle is amazing and should definitely be on everybody's list if visiting this part of Spain.

A stunning medieval castle with impressive towers and courtyards. The architecture is unique, and the views from the top are breathtaking. A must-visit if you’re in Navarra!

Absolutely recommended. The castle is very well maintained and actually quite big. Great value for what you get. Audio tour is gives you much background information.

Stopped by at this palace on our way to Zaragoza. Well worth the detour. Entrance fee is derisory. Lovely views from all the corners of the tower. We didn’t see much of the town as it was showering but looks like a pretty little town.

Although there's nothing to see on the inside, the exterior is worth the entrance fee. The architecture is good, towers to climb and ramparts to walk giving good views.

Beautiful palace. Route through the palace and information well laid out. Lots of steps to climb to visit the numerous towers and parts of the palace. Would recommend a visit.

Absolutely worth the visit, very nice little castle with many towers to climb

Joined tour from get your guide on a sunny day. We arrived there in a small group with tour guide’s driving us. At the beginning the tour guide took us to a public toilet and there will be no toilet afterwards. Wear comfortable shoes, bring a jacket that you can take off while keep walking. Bring water. At the end of the walk, there will be a store selling water and simple food.

Spectacular. We’ve visited in beginning of October and it was still fairly crowded although not too crowded. Perhaps also as it was during the week and around 4PM In the afternoon. The walk from the nearest parking is relatively short. On the way back there’s a little elevation but nothing crazy. A massive restaurant and public restrooms available.

An incredibly suggestive place to visit, even if you are not a Game of Thrones fan. You must be fit though - the return uphill walk is tough. Remember to book a free ticket online well before your visit or you will not be allowed in. Entries are booked well in advance.

Get tickets ahead of time. They dont cost but you will need them to get in. If you find a site that claims to get you in for a few it is a scam. This place is highly worth the visit. The history, the Stations of the Cross walk up the steps, and the scenery is some of the best you'll find in the world. The climb back can be deceivingly difficult so pace yourself.

Sunset was definitely a good idea! Really nice place! But be ready for steep downhill cobblestone road you have to walk down and up!

Buy a ticket for entry in advance or go before they open. We arrived at 7am and parked in the top free lot and walked in. It was an hour there and back of you didn’t stop to take photos. We only ran into 4 people coming down the steps and we were there for sun rise but the clouds didn’t part to give us a show. Rain started as we were making our way to the car. Take a headlamp as it was pitch black when we began not wheelchair accessible. From their website “NOTES Wear comfortable clothing and footwear that are suitable for the path. Please note that the path is very steep. You should make sure you take water with you to cool down. This route is physically very demanding and it is therefore not recommended for people with health problems or who find it hard to walk, or people with children’s pushchairs. Due to the slopes and state of the ground, visiting the San Juan de Gaztelugatxe chapel is not recommended for people with certain types of physical disabilities. If you have one of those disabilities, we suggest you enjoy the view from the viewpoint on the Ermu route. Don’t forget to take sun cream with you in summer and on sunny days. There are no toilet facilities along the route, so it is recommended to use those available at either of the two entry points.

Went on a tour from Get Your Guide ‘From Bilbao: Gaztelugatxe, Gernika, and Mundaka Guided Tour’ - would really recommend. Walk was tough in hot weather but really enjoyable. Definitely worth it!

Very busy street. Great choice of Tapas bars. A must see in Logrona

The highlight of my trip. What an experience from a food perspective. I went there 3 consecutive nights for food and atmosphere. Highly recommended

It is still fine the street but has made a huge change after the Pandemic. I went during the week so it was not super busy

Only one word - AMAZING!

The place to find great food offerings and drinks. Recommended.

A wonderful experience, buzzing and so many exciting places to graze.

Amazing street , amazing food !

Truely terrific place. A combination of a chruch and city walls on an uneven ground. This lead to constructual problems that have been bugged the building for ages. And then in the sixthees a desasterous decision to remove internal buttresses. in english a very good guide through the building, from underground to the tower with views over the country side. You have to make a reservation through Internet or in person. In the end they show the true colours of the building, from now to the 16th century Closed between 1400 and 16.30m Worth the trip

We had a tour in Spanish, but with audioguide in English. We never had such a great, complete experience from enormous foundations to the roof, and everything in between. The restoration is well done. Tour guide was friendly and helpful. The Cathedral is not so over-decorated as many others in Spain, but very interesting non the less. Highly recommend tour!

The building was closed for renovation when we visited. Beautiful architecture in a very friendly town.

As the Cathedral is still in a period of extended restoration you have to visit with a guided tour, so the entrance fee will set you back around ten euros, unless you qualify for a concession. However the tour is detailed and exhaustive, including a trip down through its crumbling foundation pillars, then into its spectacular romanesque interior before going up to the Tower. The journey there, along a narrow ledge that overlooks the cathedral interior, before acsending up a spiral staircase, is almost as exciting as the views it offers of the surrounding city.

It is certainly not the prettiest or the mos architecturally inspiring cathedral in Spain. However, it has an interesting story of trying to withstand the original construction errors. Fortunately, the cathedral has been saved from an imminent collapse after the last restoration. The guided visit is super interesting, as it takes you to places that are usually not accessible to the public, including the foundations.

A must visit in Vitoria-Gasteiz! Guided tours are very good...best option is: Cathedrale Tour + Tower! View from there above the city is awesome! They have guided tours in English...but also audioguides in different languages! This is a sure must visit if you are in town. Check out the tours on their official site! Never had a guided tour like this...for that price...anyway in this world! The Tour ends with projection show of how the coloring of the church was ages ago...never saw something like this before...even in Rome or somewhere else! So much love and affection to history combined with modern technology!

The work done of restoration of this Cathedral is amazing. It seems that construction was not very well done, and during the time the attempts to repair it were not very successfully also. From a few year now, was done a huge work to understand was was wrong and what exactly had to be done to save the building.

Highlight of our cruise to Spain and Portugal was a visit to the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao. The structure is iconic in itself, made of titanium sheets laid over a free-form pattern. The inner structure is just as amazing in design. Housed within, are notable creations of contemporary art. The large oil painting in black, with a small corner left natural, the work of Robert Motherwell. The labyrinth of huge steel sheets, coiled, eager to welcome curious visitors. I came away wondering, ‘what is art?’ Be sure to enlarge the paper cut-out collage. There are some worthy quotations to remember. A very reasonable 9 euros entrance fee. Great gift shop for a memento. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.

Absolutely loved the Guggenheim Bilbao! The architecture alone is breathtaking — you could spend an hour just walking around the building and taking in the curves, reflections, and the river views. Inside, the exhibitions are beautifully curated, modern, bold, and inspiring. Every room feels like a new experience; the whole visit felt smooth and welcoming. A must-see in Bilbao — worth every minute!

Iconic showcase of art in a spectacular building. For someone who is not a big fan of art museums, I found this place very interesting and amusing. Every single room had a unique feature and I didn’t get bored even after spending 1.5hrs in here. A must-see in Bilbao! You can buy ticket online. I got there with 10 groups waiting in front of me to buy tickets so I just quickly bought it online and skipped the long queue. Only takes 2-3 mins max

We visited Friday, September 5, 2025. The building is beautiful. Unique and bold. Really stands out. We spent about 90 minutes here on a Friday afternoon. Well worth it if you are in the area. I loved the large exhibits.

It’s world-famous for a reason! I am in no way well-versed in art but I really enjoyed all 3 floors of the museum. I appreciated the variety of media, artists, eras, and kind of art featured here. I think what made it more fun was how interactive some of them are, and some exhibitions were also larger than life. It featured both big and rising, international and local names in the industry which was a great way to highlight other people in the industry. I appreciated how organized the museum was as well. There was a Yayoi Kusama exhibition, which would normally take forever to see but they planned it very well. It was a really quick few seconds to see it but this made the line go faster and didn’t hold up anyone who wanted to see it. The featured artist at that time was also very talented and fun to see! Lots of interactive and dynamic art featured that changed the experience for the viewer every room we visited. We also didn’t buy tickets ahead and I really thought we missed our chance, but the museum allotted tickets for walk-in visitors. The line went so fast as well which we appreciated a lot. So it was a very pleasant experience!!

The exterior of the museum is phenomenal, truly worth seeing with your own eyes. However, the exhibitions are a hit or miss. Perhaps I had unreasonably high expectations, which ultimately led to my disappointment. I have visited contemporary art museums with better exhibitions in the past, that's all I'm saying!!! The entrance fee is not expensive in all means. 6 euros with a student ID. I stayed here for a bit more than one hour.

The Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao is an architectural and cultural masterpiece that offers an immersive experience in contemporary art, both for its iconic structure and for the works on display. The Guggenheim in Bilbao, designed by Frank Gehry, is considered one of the most revolutionary architectural works of the 20th century. Its titanium, glass and limestone structure, with curved and fluid shapes, almost looks like an urban sculpture. Visiting the museum is already an artistic experience in itself, even before entering. Inside, the museum houses a vast collection of modern and contemporary art, with works by artists such as Richard Serra, Anselm Kiefer, Cy Twombly, Mark Rothko, Louise Bourgeois and Yves Klein. Among the most famous installations is The Matter of Time by Serra, an immersive path through gigantic steel spirals B. Outside, two works have become symbols of the museum: • Puppy by Jeff Koons: a giant dog covered with fresh flowers. • Maman by Louise Bourgeois: a huge spider-shaped sculpture, powerful and disturbing. The Guggenheim is not just a museum, but a sensory and intellectual experience. It is a place where art dialogues with urban space, and where every corner invites reflection. As a visitor wrote: It's absolutely not true that it's only nice outside. The Guggenheim deserves as much on the outside as on the inside

Wow. What an amazing place. Well worth the walk. Free entry too (though donations can be made).

Amazing. Parked with the campervan on the Duero river and this place is a lovely stroll along the banks. Free entry and what an experience. Well worth a visit. Soria is an amazing place as well.

Interesting little place. Well worth the climb. Closed on Mondays, unless you just like climbing.

Beautiful setting. The chapel in the grotto under the church is fascinating, but inaccessible with Covid-19 protocols in place. The capacity in the main church is limited to 30 and opens every 30 minutes for people to view. You are only able to walk into the main church at this time under these limited conditions. Masks are required the entire time.

Incredible how they builded this church from the ground up. Very nice inside and out. I just took my time inside the service area by seating at the back of the room and dwell on the scenery.

Really worth a visit.. And it's free to go in. Fantastic chapel. Quite a few steps and a little climb but worth it.

Amazing and historical site in Soria. Read the story in the vitro window about the boy that fell and was unharmed thank to the saint's protection

Fabulously picturesque and immensely photogenic, the Magdalena Peninsula was the highlight of my stay in Santander. I wish I had a whole day to spend there and take in all the views. The sunsets there are simply magnificent.

What a beautiful place to visit even as a tourist. We were travelling with an aged mom and were delighted to hear that she didn't have to walk up the hill to the palace as there's a train (bus) one can hop on that takes a slow trip up the hill. Cost was 5€. The grounds are immaculate and there's benches placed throughout the peninsula where you can sit and enjoy the view. It's a lovely area to stroll around.

Inside the palace is exquisite and at 3 euros for a guided tour well worth it but the grounds and seascapes are stunning. You can see and hear the power of the waves crashing into the cliffs. A short bus journey (1.30 euros each way) will take you there and entry to the grounds is free.

Very nice, green and peaceful place! Perfect for a walk! Beautiful places to visit and eat! Surrounded by water with amazing views, and that sound of waves crashing on the rocks, ahh... miss this place!

The grounds surrounding the Palace are absolutely stunning, with beautiful cliff edges where you can feel the full force of the atlantic wind. The park is really well maintained and is a lovely place to just sit and chill. The actual peninsula is 5 stars for definite, but the park area lacks toilets and amenities. The mini zoo (with sea lions and penguins) seems cruel and unnecessary. The animals don't have much space and some don't seem very healthy, which put a gloomy cloud over what an otherwise lovely trip to the park.

It's very beautiful place. You can go to castle Magdalena or visit mini zoo. Over there is amazing view. You should to visit this place if you in Santander

The Magdalena Peninsula is a 28 hectare peninsula located near the entrance to the Bay of Santander. The peninsula is a popular recreational destination for both tourists and locals. The historic Palacio de la Magdalena is located on the peninsula, which along with its surrounding gardens, is designated as a cultural heritage site. Also located on the peninsula is a small zoo, three galleons of the Cantabrian mariner Vital Alsar Ramírez and a lighthouse.

Fantastic experience for children We went with our toddler and he absolutely loved riding in the cable cars and spotting animals. You can then drive around to different enclosures for a closer look. Facilities were great - toilets and refreshment stands throughout the park and very well run. I would suggest you leave enough time to fully explore the park. We had 2 and a half hours and it was only enough to do the cable car route, see the reptile house, rhinos and tigers even without stopping for lunch. Highly recommend.

Overall, we were a bit disappointed. Value wise - at 140 Euros for a family it felt overpriced. No suggested routes, old signage/ information about the animals as well as chaotic and crowded roads around the park. We did not see many staff around the park, and it felt a bit unloved. Animals were great, especially the cable car over the elephant enclosure.

I was worried that without car we will suffer but actually it is quite easy, we took a zoo bus and a cable car, and we walked. So I must say that even without car the visit to this parque is a great idea! We even took a public bus to Santander and it was a cheap and pleasant trip. The parque itself is much better than any regular zoo! Definitely worth visiting

Must visit place. That’s how all the zoos should be organised with a huge territories for the animals. Incredible nature around and a lot of animals in the natural habitat

Best day out. Still need to go back. One trip is not enough.

Beautiful landscape formed by a former open mine, now all holes have become enclosures for animals. This means every animal has at least a football field worth of space. You would expect that it would be more difficult that way to see the animals but that is not the case. The place is huge so you get around by car with a small parking lot at every enclosure, there’s also a cable car that takes you over most enclosures with a unique view of the animals, it feels a bit like a safari. Entrance is a bit steep, but worth it. Prices of drinks and food inside are fair for a park like this. Because the place is so big, it never feels busy except at the entrance to the cable cars there’s a small line.

Very nice animal reserve. The animals have a lot of room to roam and appear to be well taken care of. There are two cable car routes above the enclosures that give great views included in the ticket price.

This is a great activity for families, it is dual language and the staff are very helpful and nice. The main museum is built around the cave, the tickets are free and they give you an entry time to control the amount of people in the cave at any one time, which is a good idea. There are a few other bits to see on site to kill time, plus a cafe and gift shop. Certainly worth a visit.

Well worth the effort, we had an excellent experience...it was busy so our tickets for the recreation cave was 1.45pm so we had an hour & a half to 'kill' but surprisingly it whizzed by there was so much to see & do. We walked to the 1928 house, had a look at the temporary exhibition, had a cup of coffee in the cafe (they do a two course lunch from 1.30pm) & having looked in the gift shop we did the general museum. Lots to see, signs in Spanish & English. We were impressed. Then we checked in for the new cave experience...five minute film then follow the arrows & you end up in a recreation of the original cave... it's a wow...

Fascinating museum with well-presented exhibits and a pleasant cafe serving local dishes. There is normally a short wait for entry to the Neocueva but it is unmissable. A painstakingly accurate facsimile of the actual cave, which is no longer open to the public. Good facilities for those with limited mobility, including ramps and lifts. Wheelchairs available.

Visiting the National Museum & Research Center of Altamira was an unforgettable experience! The museum beautifully showcases prehistoric art, including the famous Altamira cave paintings. The replicated caves offer a fascinating glimpse into ancient human creativity, and the exhibits on human evolution are both educational and captivating. The highlight was seeing the iconic handprints and ancient animal drawings, which truly transport you back in time. The displays are well-organized, and the information panels are clear and insightful, making it an ideal place for history enthusiasts and families alike. Highly recommended for anyone interested in archaeology and ancient art. The atmosphere is immersive and well worth the visit!

If you want to enter expect an affordable entry fee (3€ pP) good quality online guide nice replicas and unfriendly staff. It's better to get an online reservation for entry otherwise you may have to wait several hours. Very disrespectful towards indigenous groups and absolutely NOT children friendly. No animals/dogs allowed. We came to visit explicitly for the replica of the cave (neocave). Immediately after entering the replica building we were told to be quiet (baby saying 'dadada') and shortly after I was guided out of there with my 1yo because he was simply trying to talk. We had waited 1,5hours to be able to enter and have only seen about 10% - but none of the paintings. The same time of our visit there were at least three different groups with tour guides and many others talking as loudly as they were in a tavern. We are very disappointed and will not recommend going there with children. In the additional exhibition it is stated that there are videos of indigenous people shown. Some do not want to have their deceased relatives displayed in such videos. So it is stated 'those have been warned'. In full: 'To many aboriginal communities it is disrespectful and offensive to depict people who have died. Communities who may be offended are warned that the following documentaries may contain such scenes.' This is absolutely disrespectful towards indigenous groups. If the museum KNOWS that some indigenous groups do NOT want those people displayed and even puts up a warning it is still NOT OKAY to show those videos to the public. End of story. No consent means NO. Do not show it. Additionally I found many of the information panels provided a very euro-centric and white supremacist view. For example at the part 'human evolution' - Why are all of the depicted people white? Information about La Dama Roja de El Mirón says 'The woman was robust, 35-40 years old, dark skinned and in apparent good health' and it's briefly mentioned next to one picture. But the drawings of the other information panels only show white people which might mislead into thinking only white people existed back then. I would not recommend the visit.

Really unprofessional for a UNESCO world heritage site. The tour of the cage is fully in Spanish, no signs in the important areas. The audio guide requires a buggy app, and doesn’t match the speed of the tour at all. Missing all the interesting facts about the cave drawings. Really disappointing, and embarrassing for such an institution…

A stunning and beautiful museum about a fascinating and important site. The museum itself is broken up into several parts - The Neocave (the star of the show for me) recreates parts of the original cave, including the occupation areas at the front of the cave and a cavern recreating some of the prehistoric artwork. Other parts of the museum are dedicated to the prehistory of the area before Altamira, a part dedicated to looking at some of the other Ave and rock art from the area which really help put the site in context. There are some liveky external walks, including a walk up to the original cave entrance. My partner is disabled and uses a scooter to get around. He found it very accessible and easy to navigate. My only major criticism is that they say they have a cafe, but in reality, these are a few vending machines and tables (they do have a separate picnic area). As this museum requires at least 3-4 hours to visit, I would recommend brining a picnic. For the price of 3 euros a visit this is definitely worth the money and visit.

The Burgos Cathedral is located in the historical centre of the Spanish city of the same name. Construction on the Cathedral began in 1221 and was completed in 1567. It is a comprehensive example of the evolution of Gothic style, with the entire history of Gothic art exhibited in its superb architecture and unique collection of art, including paintings, choir stalls, reredos, tombs, and stained-glass windows. Burgos Cathedral has the distinction of being the only Cathedral in Spain to be designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site independently from the historic center of the city it is located in. The visit of the Cathedral lasts 1 hour approx. It is very large, with many small chapels. It is worth visiting slowly. Entry fee at time of writing / visiting : from 10 Euros Free Entry: Entry to the cathedral is free on Tuesday afternoons between 4:30 pm and 6:30 pm in the summer (and 4:30 pm to 6 pm in the winter). My way on Camino de Santiago Visited April 2025

One of the richest cathedrals I’ve ever seen! The intricate art and sculptures inside are simply amazing. There is a free audio guide that you can access via your phone. It is hard to listen though while also taking in the beauty of each chapel and artwork at the same time. 😅 This is a must-visit in Burgos!

Espectacular cathedral with a fast and efficient check out service tickets. No matter your believes it’s a must visit. The details of all of the walls and structure is impressive. You would like to spend like at least an hour and a half to enjoy all the places inside.

This may be one of the most beautiful churches I have visited. St Peters in Rome may be grander but the Burgos Cathedral has so many beautiful chapels inside it, each distinct. Some of the chapels are humongous, bigger than small churches. Burgos Cathedral is awesome, a must see!

Huge building. We were to late to visit,as we arrived only in the evening. Impressive building and probably worth to visit also inside. Tickets can be purchased during the day at the entrance. The large squares around the Cathedral are pleasant for a drink or to stroll around with an ice cream.

Burgos Cathedral is one of Spain’s most impressive Gothic landmarks and a true architectural marvel. From the moment you approach its elaborate façade and soaring spires, the grandeur is unmistakable. Inside, the cathedral is equally breathtaking, with richly decorated chapels, vaulted ceilings, and intricately carved choir stalls that reflect centuries of craftsmanship and devotion. A particular highlight is the tomb of El Cid and his wife, placed prominently beneath the central dome—an evocative tribute to one of Spain’s legendary historical figures. The Golden Staircase, the elaborate main altarpiece, and the stunning dome above the crossing all add to the cathedral’s majesty. The visit includes access to the Cathedral Museum, which is thoughtfully integrated into several side chapels and rooms. The collection spans medieval to Renaissance periods and includes religious paintings, fine metalwork, textiles, and illuminated manuscripts. Each exhibit is well presented and offers deeper insight into the religious and artistic history of the region. The cloister provides a peaceful contrast to the main cathedral space, and its sculpted tombs add to the sense of history. Overall, Burgos Cathedral is not only a place of worship but a living museum of Gothic art and Spanish heritage. A must-see for any visitor to the city.

A wonderful experience. Well kept for all to enjoy. Pay for entrance when you arrive. There will be busy days/times. We visited fairly early after opening.

1, the way up to the cave is very beautiful, full of sycamore trees. 2, Inside the cave is really cold, indeed. Remember to bring a jacket or a coat. 3, the cave itself is amazing of course, art of nature and time. But, yes, but, if you have already been some similar places like this, it wouldn't surprise you too much. For example, Reed Flute cave, Guilin, China, it is much bigger and more complicated. 4, it could be boring for children. We didn't think to bring Mei here before because we knew it could be boring for her yet, but her grandparents were here and they wanted to visit it so.....yes, we were right. Mei felt bored after staying in the cave for a while. A 6 years old kid, watching "stones " in the dark and cold..... not very good idea. 5, although, outside, the view is nice at sunset. And those cows are very calm. 😍 6, There are EV chargers.

Impressive and unique experience Guides are funny and friendly 1 min little train ride down to cave. Bring a jumper it's cold You will walk 2.4 km inside Parking outside Book your cave visit in advance if you don't want to wait. 15 euros per person Great panoramic view at the top in front of entrance.

The train was not working - which I can understand, but it would've been nice if we're informed in advance before I'm waiting an hour as this was the primary reason I wanted to do the tour. The tour guide speaks no English at all, so you have no context or information to make the experience more enjoyable. If you haven't seen such caves before, or you speak Spanish I highly recommend it, but as someone who has seen similar formations before it felt quite disappointing.

Fabulous experience, the separate location mine adventure was great but you need to be fit to do it. The cave adventure was very good fun with knowledgeable guides. You must book in advance for all tours as very popular.

Excellent visit on little train and walking. Good guide who explained the cave. Stalagmites and stalactites quite spectacular. Good cafe serving well priced food. Well worth a visit.

Interesting experience however the fact that all tours are in Spanish only is a major drawback. There were people from France, Germany & the Netherlands to mention a few, none of whom spoke Spanish. I would have expected an audio guide to be available or some sort of information leaflet in other languages. The absence of this certainly diminished the visit for me.

Nice place,beautiful cave nice panoramic view outside. Reservations acquired in summer. You enter the cave by train,then there is a walk with a guide who does the explanation about the cave, how they discovered it,etc... Arrived in the morning and could only buy tickets for the afternoon. But worth it, very beautiful inside especially with the lights

The wine museum was genuinely interesting to visit, and the entrance is free, which is a nice bonus. The castle can only be visited with a guided tour, which might be a plus for those who enjoy detailed explanations. Personally, I would have preferred to explore it on my own. The view from the top platform of the castle is beautiful, but inside there isn’t much to see, as none of the original interiors have been preserved.

Nice visit to the castle. Couldn't understand much as the guide was talking really fast. But is is an nice sight to behold and well worth a visit

Beautiful castle, build like a ship with a long and impressive history There are also great views of the area from the top of it Check the opening time, we got there at around 13:30 but it closes at 14:00 so we couldn’t go in so we came back after 16:00 when they opens up again The wine museum is worthwhile a visit if anything for the smelling exercise you can do inside

You can only visit as part of a guided tour in Spanish. So a wasted journey. Anyway, the castle looks better when seen from the town We don't do guided tours unless it's somewhere very very special like the Altamira Caves

Beautiful looking castle structure with great views. I did not go in.

Wonderful views from a castle steeped in Spanish history. Long walk up steep road to access, but plenty of parking if driving at the top. €6.20 ticket for adult guided tour and entry to the wine museum.

The castle itself is wonderful and impressive, however, it turned out to be a wine tour/museum, so the only way to see the inside is on a wine tour. You cannot roam by yourself, which was a disappointment. Still feel the "touch of history" by visiting

The old city of Segovia was settled by the Romans 2000 years ago. Their major contribution which still exists in its original form is the aqueduct. This is the most amazing piece of engineering and enabled the expansion of the city providing it with fresh water from the mountains. It extends for 17 kilometers and much of it is underground. There is a staircase you can climb to be at the top and it is truly spectacular. The city itself is charming.

Seeing the Aqueduct of Segovia in person is just amazing. Honestly, pictures don't do it justice at all. When you stand there and see the scale of it, and think about how old it is and that it's still standing, it's just incredible. It's so well preserved and right in the middle of everything. We spent ages just walking around it and admiring the construction. It's a true masterpiece of Roman engineering and an absolute must-see. We were completely blown away. 5 stars, easily.

The Aqueduct of Segovia is one of the most impressive ancient structures I have ever seen. Built by the Romans around the first century AD, it stands as a masterpiece of engineering and endurance. The fact that it was constructed without any mortar, using only perfectly cut granite blocks, makes it even more incredible. Standing beneath the aqueduct, you can truly appreciate its scale and precision. It stretches across the city with more than 160 arches and reaches almost 30 meters high at its tallest point. It once carried water from the mountains over 15 kilometers away to supply Segovia, and parts of it continued to function for centuries. It is remarkable how well preserved it remains today, blending seamlessly with the modern city around it. The surrounding plaza is lively, filled with cafes and shops, and offers perfect views for photos both day and night.

UNBELIEVABLE!...This place is absolutely great. I am from New York and I did not even know about thia place, but if you are a fan of history, this place is perfect. To think, this place was build in 1 A.D. and you see the scope of the size, and the sheer size of it is overwhelming and it is still standing today. Great craftsmanship and architectural work...recommend 100000%

Aqueduct of Segovia completely blew me away. Seeing it in person is one of those moments where photos just don’t do it justice—the size, the symmetry, and the fact that it was built without a single drop of mortar makes it truly awe-inspiring. Walking underneath the arches and along the nearby streets gives you a real sense of history. It’s amazing to stand next to something so ancient yet so perfectly preserved. The surrounding area is charming too, with cafés, shops, and beautiful views that make the whole visit even more enjoyable. Overall, the Aqueduct of Segovia is an absolute must-see in Spain. It’s impressive, iconic, and one of those places that makes you stop and appreciate the engineering brilliance of the past.

Absolutely spectacular must-see Roman aqueduct. Photos cannot do it justice. Reasonably easy to get to. There is a high speed Renfe train station a few miles out of town and a regular bus service that runs directly to the aqueduct from the station. Segovia itself has plenty of other sites to visit and I spent all day here.

The Aqueduct of Segovia is absolutely breathtaking and a true marvel of ancient engineering. Standing in front of this perfectly preserved Roman structure, you can’t help but be amazed by its scale, precision, and timeless beauty. Walking along the nearby streets, the aqueduct dominates the cityscape and gives you a real sense of history and Roman ingenuity. It’s incredible to think that it has stood for nearly two thousand years, still intact and awe-inspiring. The surrounding area is charming, full of cafés and shops, making it perfect to combine sightseeing with a leisurely stroll. Visiting the Segovia Aqueduct is a must for anyone traveling to Spain — it’s a symbol of the city and an unforgettable experience.”

Beautiful castle. Be aware the tower steps are steep, uneven and claustrophobic. Views are amazing! We even saw a rainbow in the sky. Lots of armor, architectural beauty, a garden maze and the remains of a drawbridge. Castle is surrounded by park like setting and lots of flower gardens!

My husband and I visited the Alcazar on a Thursday in late March. It was a little chilly, but that was mainly the elevation difference from Madrid. We had booked an 11am audio tour, but our train got in pretty early and we were able to get into the Alcazar early as well, which was great and we nearly had the place to ourselves. There are signs in many languages pointing you toward the Alcazar from Segovia town center, so it's hard to miss and a nice walk. It's a wonderful castle and the audio tour does a great job of enumerating the areas, and the sites you're looking at. From the moat to the armory, great hall, and many outside areas. We got a lot of great history and a lot of the designs reminded me of the Alhambra, of course. An unexpected delight was the gift shop.There I was able to get an English language book on Isabella of Castille, which had I looked for unsuccessfully in multiple Madrid bookshops. We also got a lovely cloth castle ornament. I do wish we had been able to go down the hill to see the ship-like cliffside view of the Alcazar from that lower angle. But our knees hurt from nearly two weeks of walking around Spain.

Such a great place to capture wonderful views back towards the Cathedral and the surrounding valley. The building itself is amazing with loads of period artifacts. The audio guide is well worth the 3.50 euros to listen during and after the visit.

The Alcázar of Segovia looks like something straight out of a fairytale. Its distinctive ship-like shape perched high on a rocky hill makes it one of the most beautiful castles in Spain. Originally built as a fortress in the 12th century, it later became a royal palace for the Castilian monarchs, a military academy, and even served as inspiration for Walt Disney’s Cinderella Castle. Walking through the Alcázar feels like stepping back in time. The Hall of Kings (Sala de los Reyes) is breathtaking with its detailed ceilings and portraits of Castilian rulers. The Throne Room, the armory, and the chapel each tell a different story from Spain’s royal past. Everything inside is remarkably well preserved. Climbing the Tower of John II is the highlight of the visit. The view over Segovia, the cathedral, and the surrounding plains is absolutely stunning.

It's best to get tickets early for the fortress and tower. In warmer months, the top of the tower is very warm. Overall it's a wonderful tour. The Artillery Museum is interesting but no English signage. But the audio guide for the palace is worth it. The vistas from the fortress were impressive. There's a cafe down in the old Laboratories building outside the main gate. This is where your buy tickets.

The Summer Palace of Dreams – Segovia This palace is honestly a dream come true for me. I’ve always wanted to see it, and visiting in person was even better than I imagined. Locals told us this is the royal family’s favorite summer palace, and after being there, I completely understand why. ✨ Why it’s unforgettable: • The location is breathtaking — set in a picturesque landscape that feels like something out of a storybook. • The architecture and design are stunning, from the palace itself to the details inside. • The views all around the grounds are incredible, the kind of scenery you can lose yourself in. Walking through this palace truly felt magical. It wasn’t just another tourist stop — it’s the kind of place that leaves a mark on you. 🌟 Final thought: Visiting this palace in Segovia was one of the highlights of my trip. It’s beautiful, inspiring, and unforgettable — a place I’ll always carry in my memory. If you’re anywhere near Segovia, don’t miss it.

Absolutely a must visit when in Segovia. Not only this castle itself is a great creation of its times, with interiors that blew our minds, carefully renovated in 1800s; there used to be a military academy here, a large library of military books and a great collection of equipment. As an added bonus, there are great city views, and ability to go in top of the tower.

Great view at night. Quite a lot restaurants and cafes even for glass of wine.

Parked in the underground car park here and walked up into La plaza mayor. It was a cold, windy day in November. Took a short walk to the riverside park for a very nice walk there. At the weekend on a fine day it would be lovely.

Plaza Mayor is very similar to all the other Plaza Mayor around Spain. The one in Valladolid is a little quieter, but it's surrounded by beautiful buildings.

Beautiful especially at night time, the cafe's at the Plaza are expensive and food is mediocre, avoid them

It was so wonderful that we are coming back to Valladolid next January 2024

Even more beautiful with the Christmas lights! Be prepared for a crowd. ;-)

Beautiful centre square, especially at night, just don't sit and eat at the cafe's, expensive and mediocre

Lovely to visit the Roman fortress surrounding the city. Well preserved. Lots of walking and climbing uneven stairs. Great views. If you go late afternoon, entry fees are waived. Take water, comfy shoes and hat

An absolute go-to in Ávila! You can't go to Ávila and not visit the Muralla! The walls are in an excellent state, providing incredible views of the outside of the city, but also giving great insights of the main buildings of inside the fortress. It's a pity we can go all around the fortress in one go, and have to go down and up on different points instead. It would be worth revisiting once the renovations are done to see how much we can see in one go. The tickets cost €8 per person, definitely worth every penny!

The Walls of Ávila, located at C. Conde Don Ramón, 15, in the heart of Ávila, Spain, are a compelling example of medieval fortification and one of the most remarkably preserved city walls in Europe. Constructed primarily between the 11th and 14th centuries, these imposing stone defenses stretch over 2.5 kilometers and encompass the historic center of Ávila. Their architectural style is Romanesque, punctuated by over eighty semi-circular towers and nine monumental gates. The robust construction, using granite and limestone sourced from local quarries, demonstrates military engineering prowess from an era marked by conquests and shifting territorial boundaries. Visitors are immediately struck by the grandeur and scale of the walls, which have become synonymous with the city’s identity. Walking along their perimeter or climbing to the parapets provides panoramic views of Ávila’s old town and the surrounding Castilian plateau. Sections open to the public allow exploration of the walls’ walkways and towers, offering unique vantage points on key landmarks such as the Cathedral of Ávila. The nighttime illumination further accentuates the intricate details and texture of the stonework, giving the monument an almost ethereal presence. Unlike many other European fortifications which succumbed to modernization or conflict, Ávila’s walls remain largely intact, a testament to careful restoration and the city’s commitment to safeguarding its heritage. The monument was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1985, underscoring its significance in historical and cultural contexts. The walls not only symbolized military strength but also played an important role in the development of medieval urban life, animating the social, religious, and economic activities of the inhabitants for centuries. Today, the Walls of Ávila serve as a focal point for tourism, educational programs, and cultural events. The surrounding area is lively, with restaurants, cafes, and artisanal shops contributing to a welcoming atmosphere. Interpretive signage and guided tours enhance the visitor experience, providing insight into the site’s historical layers and strategic importance. Seasonal festivals and exhibitions further highlight the enduring legacy of the walls, bridging past and present for locals and travelers alike. Overall, the Walls of Ávila at C. Conde Don Ramón, 15, not only captivate with their monumental architecture but also embody the spirit of resilience and historical continuity. They are a compelling destination for those interested in medieval history, urban archaeology, and Spanish cultural heritage, offering an immersive experience at every turn.

Very well kept. Nice to walk, hilly but good. Good food outside of the walls, inside a little touristy trap but great shopping. Prices are definitely higher than a couple yrs ago and the Euro to dollars gets you.

The Walls of Ávila are an incredible historical landmark and a must-visit attraction. These well-preserved medieval fortifications offer a fascinating glimpse into the city’s past and provide stunning panoramic views of Ávila and its surroundings. Walking along the walls is a unique experience, allowing you to appreciate their impressive scale and architectural detail up close. The entrance points are well-maintained, and informative signage enhances the visit with historical context. The views from the walls, especially at sunset, are breathtaking and offer fantastic photo opportunities. If you’re interested in history, architecture, or just want a memorable stroll with great vistas, the Walls of Ávila are definitely worth exploring. Highly recommended!

Beautiful place, worth going to see . We went early before the crowds and found car parking close by. You receive an audio guide full of information. Also we went late October the weather was 55 degrees.

Avila is a beautiful and looks like any other medieval city in Spain. The wall is nice. Worth the trip. Comparable to Segovia and Toledo.
