Essential City Tour of Lugo

This tour will start in the Plaza Mayor, where we will talk about the Roman origins of the city through its history. Here you will find the statues of the founders of Lucus Augusti, as Lugo was called in Roman times. Paulus Fabius Maximus received the plan of the city from Emperor Augustus.

But Lugo is also preserved as a medieval city and as proof of this we have its historic centre, located within its walls, where we can see the Cathedral and the streets surrounded by the typical arcades.

Lugo is a city that grew within its Roman walls over time. From the Cathedral you can access the walls, we will do a section of these where we will be able to see Lugo outside and inside the walls as well as some remains of domus or Roman houses discovered in the area.

After walking along its walls, we will enter its streets full of local shops and tapas bars, where we can enjoy the great gastronomic offer of the city, because as the saying goes ‘...and to eat: Lugo’. Another proof of its gastronomy is the Mercado de Abastos, where you can see all its most typical products.

We cannot miss its famous ‘wine area’, so we will be finishing the tour in the Plaza del Campo, where the weekly market used to be held, nowadays a starting point for the streets where you can taste a great dish accompanied by a good wine.
