Lugo Guided City Tour

On the day of your tour, meet your guide by the giant chess board located in Praza Maior, Lugo's main city square and the location of the Concello, the town hall.

From there, you'll set off on your guided walking tour towards Saint Mary's Cathedral, a 12th century religious building, important on the Camino Primitivo pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela. Inside, admire various artistic and architectural styles including Romanesque, Gothic, Baroque, and Neoclassical. Visit chapels dedicated to San Froilán and the Virgin with Big Eyes, the patron saints of Lugo.

Next, you will reach Lugo's Roman walls, the only city in the world completely surrounded by intact Roman walls. You'll have the opportunity to walk alongside these 3rd century stone walls, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Continue to the Domus Do Mitreo Museum, built on the remains of an ancient Roman temple dedicated to an unknown god. This museum is managed by the University of Santiago de Compostela and provides insight into Lugo's Roman past.

The tour includes a stroll through the city's historic centre, visiting main squares: Plaza de Santo Domingo, Plaza del Campo, Plaza de Campo Castelo, and Plaza Mayor. After 2 hours, the guided tour concludes.
