Galicia'10 -- Guided Visits to Santiago

There are plenty of options to visit Santiago on guided tours, but my choice for a very complete set, including historical and artistical highlights, legends, views and curisities, would consist on combining the following three tours:

If you want to have a day of solid sightseeing you should get the audioguide from the Tourist Information Office, which lets you visit the city at your pace and will provide you with the basic facts of the city.

If you can, book already for the Night Guided Tour as well, which lets you complement the previous one with visits to the Hospital de los Reyes Catolicos, some of the oldest pubs in Santiago, meet the ghost of a pilgrim and experience the real magic of the queimada.

Also, as you arrive to the plaza del Obradoiro during your audioguided tour, you can also book the tour to the roof of the Cathedral for some time in the early afternoon. This tour will let you have excellent views to the city and to visit some parts of the Cathedral and the Palace of Xelmirez that you cannot visit otherwise.

Enjoy!!
