Tour description

Explore Vigo with local historians with years of experience as Free Tour guides. With us, you'll discover the city's origins, its astonishing growth, and the epic battles fought on its streets and coasts. You'll discover hidden corners, enjoy spectacular views, and leave with the best recommendations to make the most of your time in Vigo.

Our visit begins at Nadador, in the port area, where we'll appreciate Vigo's close connection to the sea. We'll take advantage of the A Laxe footbridge to reach the Old Town, exploring the A Pedra market, Oyster Street, and the Co-Cathedral of Santa María, before delving into the historic district to discover Vigo's oldest house, its old town hall in Plaza de la Constitución, and the memorial to the Reconquista in Plaza de la Princesa.

Next, we'll reach the heart of the city, Puerta del Sol, where we'll meet the Sireno and see Vigo's most commercial area, before taking the escalator up to the San Sebastián Fortress. From there, the renovated Herrería neighborhood, or Casco Vello Alto, will take us to the spectacular Olivo viewpoint, a symbol of Vigo, where we'll end the tour with a spectacular view of the Cíes Islands.
