Free Tour historic center of Zaragoza, its secrets and monuments.
Hi, I'm Félix, graduated in Art History from the University of Zaragoza. I've walked the city since my childhood, so I know every nook and cranny. Some time ago I began to make tours of its historic center, in which I combine my knowledge of the city with the artistic knowledge resulting from my studies, which makes them enjoyable and interesting.
Tour description
🟢 If you are interested in getting to know the city through the point of view of a Zaragozan, this is your tour. Not only will I show you the most emblematic monuments with all their stories and anecdotes, but I will also introduce you to the main leisure areas and the best options for tapas, eating or having a few drinks. Zaragoza is a historic city full of monuments, but it is also a city full of life.
♦️The tour will start in front of the Central Market, next to the statue of César Augusto , our founder. Right there we can see the remains of the Roman walls and learn a little about what ancient Caesaraugusta was like. From there we will visit:

2. Torreón de la Zuda and San Juan de los Panetes (our particular tower of Pisa).
