Tour Details

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

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

We will wander through the narrow streets of its historic center 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 will make our way to El Tubo, the city's tapas area - we will give you the best recommendations for a tasty tapa! Then we will continue our tour to one of the highlights as we cross 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 will 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 will 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, the great civilizations that 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 provide some top recommendations and places not to miss in this amazing city.
