Tour description

Welcome to the Alcalá World Heritage Tour!


With this tour, you'll have the perfect introduction to understand a city with over 2,000 years of history. We will uncover the intricacies of the first University City in the world designed by Cardinal Cisneros, the coexistence in Alcalá of the "3 Cultures", and, of course, the birthplace of Miguel de Cervantes, the genius behind Don Quixote.


We will start at the Plaza de las Bernardas, a quiet corner that will allow us to unravel the Historic Center from less to more. We reserve the main attraction, the University, for the end... like the climax of a good novel! All spiced up with curiosities, fun explanations, and a final game.


What will we visit?

We will tour the most emblematic points and, depending on the chosen schedule, enjoy access to some monuments:

  • Plaza de las Bernardas (Start)
  • Archbishop's Palace
  • House of the Interview
  • Magistral Cathedral of the Santos Niños
  • Main Street
  • Cervantes Birthplace Museum
  • Old Antezana Hospital
  • Cervantes Square
  • Comedy Courtyard
  • Oidor Chapel (Where Cervantes' Baptism Record is located)
  • Old University of Alcalá


📍 Important Information

To ensure your experience is complete, we have adapted the visits to groups of a maximum of 20 people and according to the opening of the monuments:

  • Tour 10:00h - Includes access to the Cervantes Birthplace Museum.
  • Tour 12:00h - Includes access to the Oidor Chapel.
  • Tour 16:00h - Includes access to the Oidor Chapel.
  • Tour 18:00h - Exterior Tour. Due to the closing time of monuments, we will enjoy all the Heritage from the main squares and streets.


I look forward to discovering Alcalá with you! I assure you that you will fall in love with it. 😊
