Discover Vigo on Foot

Join your knowledgeable guide on a walking tour and discover Vigo’s hidden corners. A stroll along Montero Ríos Avenue, takes you to the statue of Jules Verne, French novelist, poet and playwright. Did you know that the 2nd chapter of his famous novel ‘Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea’ is set in the bay of Vigo? Walk from square to square; absorb the local atmosphere and admire the modernist style buildings. See the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Garcia Barbon Theater and Puerta del Sol in the heart of the city, with the imposing sculpture of the Merman.

Walking in the old quarter is always a pleasant surprise, as is hard to imagine that such a place exists in a large city like Vigo. Discover its narrow winding streets, Constitution Square and Basket Makers Street. Admire the Collegiate Church of Santa Maria, the oldest in town. At Oyster Street you’ll find a market that sells freshly harvested oysters. At the end of the tour, you’ll have the option to stay in town to explore more on your own or walk back to the port with your guide.
