Discover the best of Zaragoza!
The great monuments
Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar
One of Zaragoza's landmarks, on the banks of the Ebro. Its architecture and interiors make it an essential stop. An 18-minute walk away.
Aljafería Palace
A medieval palace of Islamic origin, with elegant courtyards and decoration of rare delicacy. One of the finest examples of its style in Spain.
Wandering the old town

Calle Alfonso I
The city's most photographed pedestrian street, with the Basilica at the far end. Shops, terraces and the best view in Zaragoza.
Markets and shopping
Puerto Venecia
One of Europe's largest shopping and leisure complexes, with a lake, cinemas and restaurants. A good option for an afternoon of shopping or if you are travelling with children.
The Central Market
A Modernist market from 1903, restored in 2020. Fresh produce under an iron-and-glass structure that is worth the visit on its own. A 14-minute walk away.
Walks in nature
The banks of the Ebro
A riverside walk with the best views of the Basilica. Perfect at sunset, crossing the Puente de Piedra.
Parque Grande
Zaragoza's green lung: gardens, fountains and viewpoints. Easily reached on foot along Gran Vía and Paseo Fernando el Católico.
The city-centre squares
Plaza del Pilar
The city's great square, surrounded by monuments and terraces. A meeting point and the best place to take the pulse of Zaragoza.
Plaza de España
Where the shopping district meets the old town. Paseo Independencia and Calle Alfonso both start here. A 10-minute walk away.
