Essential Zaragoza Free Walking Tour

We will start our free tour of Zaragoza next to the sculpture of Goya, in the central Plaza del Pilar. With the blessing of this genius we will move to the past of the city from the Lonja, knowing the protagonist of our history, the Ebro River. From there, we will go 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 nerve centre of Caesaraugusta. In this same location we will find one of the two Cathedrals in Zaragoza, La Seo, also known as the Catedral de San Salvador -declared a World Heritage Site- and the Wall of the Parroquieta.

We will wander through the intricate narrow streets of its historic centre to discover the most picturesque corners of the city, such as the Casa del Deán, whose arch hides a legend that will be unveiled on our tour of myths and legends...

Before we know it, we will arrive at the Roman Theatre, an architectural marvel that takes us back to the Roman past from which we started. We will continue talking about curiosities and typical expressions until we reach El Tubo, the city's tapas area. We have many recommendations prepared. In addition, to reach the climax of the tour we will cross the Calle Alfonso I and enter through one of the 3 commercial passages of the 19th century that are preserved in Spain, the passage of the "Ciclón".

Ready for a TOP stop? Welcome to the touristy Plaza del Pilar, one of the largest pedestrian squares in Europe? On our way we will discover emblematic points such as the Town Hall, the Fountain of Hispanidad and, of course, the monumental Cathedral-Basilica of Nuestra Señora del Pilar. We will admire its exterior and interior architecture and we will learn some curiosities about the Patron Saint of Spain.

But it doesn't end here! Many more surprises await us on our way, for example, the Church of San Juan de los Panetes (not Juanetes) 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 civilisations that have occupied the country have inhabited this city. The Torreón de la Zuda is a living testimony that will tell us about the Muslim footprint in the city.

We will finish our free tour of Zaragoza in the Plaza de San Felipe, a square that hides a few secrets, with recommendations and even more desire to continue enjoying the city.
