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.

Your guided walking tour will begin at Saint Mary's Cathedral, a 12th-century religious building significant on the Camino Primitivo pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela. Inside, you can admire various artistic and architectural styles, including Romanesque, Gothic, Baroque, and Neoclassical. Visit chapels dedicated to San Froilán and the Virgin with Big Eyes, patron saints of Lugo.

Next, you'll reach Lugo's Roman walls, the only city globally completely surrounded by intact Roman walls. Walking alongside these 3rd-century stone defenses, which are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, you will learn about the history of Lucus Augusti, the ancient settlement that is today's Lugo.

Continue to the Domus Do Mitreo Museum, built on the site of an ancient Roman temple. This museum, managed by the University of Santiago de Compostela, offers insights into Lugo's Roman past.

Your tour will also cover the historic centre and major squares, including Plaza de Santo Domingo, Plaza del Campo, Plaza de Campo Castelo, and Plaza Mayor.
