Our team recommends this tour based on traveler experiences and our own. Known for its excellent guide and the way it explores Salamanca's main attractions, this tour is perfect for those looking for a comprehensive introduction to the city. Highly recommended!

Overview

Enjoy an essential tour of Salamanca to know all the details of its main corners, such as the emblematic Plaza Mayor, its old University or the Casa de las Conchas, while we discover the historic center of the city and learn why the city is known as "Roma la Chica" or "the Golden City".

We will delve into the history and peculiarities of the city with a unique walk through the Plaza de las Agustinas Recoletas or Calle Compañía, where we will observe how the surrounding monuments certify that we are in front of two sites of great importance in the past.

what are the differences between the Escuelas Menores and the Escuelas Mayores of the University of Salamanca? We will discover every detail of this almost millenary institution and we will understand why the city is famous for its good university atmosphere.

If you are able to locate the famous frog on the facade of the University, we will continue to see the majestic Cathedral of Salamanca... Or should we say cathedrals? We will get to know the details of the Old Cathedral and the New Cathedral before ending our visit in the cozy Plaza de Anaya.
