Strategically set between Madrid and Barcelona, and easily reached by high-speed train, Zaragoza is a vibrant city. It is known for its Roman foundation, medieval quarters, and iconic landmarks set up along the Ebro River. Zaragoza offers endless possibilities for travellers seeking out off-the-beaten-path and tailor-made experiences. Whether you’re drawn to grand basilicas, local gastronomy, or hidden corners full of stories, this is a city that invites exploration at your own pace.
Francisco de Goya, one of Spain’s most iconic painters, was born just outside Zaragoza. Many of his masterpieces can be admired in the city’s museums and churches, making Zaragoza a must-visit destination for art lovers in its own right.
With its rich, multicultural past — shaped by Romans, Moors, Jews, and Christians — Zaragoza offers a wealth of monumental treasures. You can visit La Seo (the cathedral), wander through the lively El Tubo district for tapas, or admire the majestic Basilica del Pilar, one of Spain’s most significant pilgrimage sites. Beyond the city centre, Zaragoza is an ideal base for exploring charming villages, local vineyards, and the central reaches of the Pyrenees.
Dive into the Roman origins of the city with a visit to the Caesaraugusta Museum Route, including the ancient theatre, river port, forum, and public baths. Ideal for history lovers, this route uncovers the foundations of Zaragoza through beautifully preserved archaeological spaces. Combine it with a stroll through the Old Quarter or a wine tasting of local Aragonese varietals.
Follow in the footsteps of Francisco de Goya, one of Spain’s greatest painters. Visit the Goya Museum, admire his early works in local churches, and learn about his life in Aragón. This tour can be complemented with modern art spaces such as the IAACC Pablo Serrano Museum, creating a dynamic mix of classic and contemporary inspiration.
A Journey through Architecture and history at Zaragoza’s most iconic monuments: The breathtaking Basilica del Pilar, overlooking the river, where you can admire frescoes by Goya and climb the tower for panoramic views. La Seo Cathedral, a masterpiece combining Romanesque, Gothic, Mudejar, and Baroque styles — perfect for travellers fascinated by architecture and culture. Finally, the Palacio de Aljafería, an 11th-century Islamic fortified palace and one of the finest examples of Moorish architecture outside Andalusia, and nowadays it serves as the seat of the Aragonese Parliament.
A lively and delicious option for food lovers. Discover Zaragoza’s famed tapas district, El Tubo, tasting local specialities such as migas, longaniza, croquetas, and regional wines. Combine it with a market visit at Mercado Central or a cooking workshop for an immersive culinary day.
