Activity itinerary

Monumento a Jules Verne

  • 20m
Begin your walk at the Monument to Jules Verne, one of Vigo’s most beloved and whimsical landmarks. This bronze statue pays tribute to the famous French novelist, who immortalised the city in Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. Standing along the waterfront, it’s a fitting place to start your journey, surrounded by sea breezes and the sparkle of Vigo Bay.

Concatedral - Basílica de Santa María de Vigo

  • 25m
Continue to the Co-Cathedral Basilica of Saint Mary of Vigo, an elegant 19th-century church built on the site of a much older temple. Its twin towers and neoclassical façade reflect the city’s maritime heritage, while the interior offers a quiet moment of reflection amid intricate religious art and soft light filtering through stained glass.

Praza da Constitucion

  • 20m
A short stroll leads you to Constitution Square, the social and cultural heart of Vigo’s old town. Lined with charming arcades and lively cafés, this square has been a meeting place for locals for centuries. It’s the perfect spot to pause for people-watch and soaking up the friendly Galician atmosphere.

Castelo De San Sebastian

  • 1h
Next, make your way to the ruins of Castle of Saint Sebastian, perched on a hill with panoramic views of the harbour and the Rías Baixas coastline. Dating back to the 17th century, this fortress once defended Vigo from pirates and invaders. Today, it offers a glimpse into the city’s turbulent past and some of the best viewpoints across the sea and the bustling town.

Vigo

  • 15m
Head down Prince Street, Vigo’s main shopping artery, brimming with stylish boutiques, vibrant street life, and architectural gems. It’s a delightful mix of old and new—modern shopfronts housed in historic buildings, with locals bustling about their day.

A Farola

  • 20m
Pause by The Urzáiz Street Lamp, an elegant ironwork creation that has become a symbol of the city’s artistic flair. Its ornate design and central location make it a popular meeting point and a favourite photo stop.

Mercado Do Progreso

  • 20m
Wrap up your tour at Progreso Market, a feast for the senses and the perfect finale to your walk. Wander through rows of colourful produce, seafood stalls, and local delicacies that capture the essence of Galician cuisine. Whether you’re tasting fresh oysters or chatting with local vendors, it’s the ideal way to end your day immersed in the lively spirit of Vigo.
