Spending a long stay in Vigo will allow you to calmly discover the streets, history and landscapes offered by the city and its estuary.

CASCO VELLO

Enjoy visiting the centre of Vigo, you can visit museums in the city’s cultural golden mile, including the MARCO Museum, the Novacaixagalicia Cultural Centre, the Barrié Foundation, the Casa das Artes… Or you can dive into the lively streets of the Old Town, browse in the craft shops, eat at one of its restaurants or try our oysters in Calle de las Ostras. We suggest you sit in a terrace in La Alameda or on Montero Ríos Street for a drink.

COAST

Take a boat to the Cíes Islands from the Ría Pier and spend an unforgettable day in this National Marine-terrestrial Park. Heavenly beaches, like Rodas. The Cíes Islands offer all kinds of activities to spend a day submersed in nature.

Also you have to discover Alcabre, stopping by the Museum of the Sea on the way to the beaches of Samil or Vao, a must see.

OUTDOOR WALKS

The city’s history is centuries old, but interestingly enough, the locals favourite monuments are the most modern: El Sireno (The Merman) and the monument to Jules Verne. Both statues coexist with much larger decorative elements like the Puerta del Atlántico (Gateway to the Atlantic), and others that tell part of Vigo’s history, like La Farola (The Streetlight). If you pay attention, you’ll notice that Vigo’s monuments are almost all linked to the sea.
