Full description

Get the perfect introduction to Salamanca's history and monuments on this guided walking tour. Admire the unique sandstone architecture of the city's most iconic landmarks, including the Plaza Mayor, Casa de las Conchas, the cathedral, and university buildings.

Meet your guide in the sprawling Plaza Mayor and admire the square's restaurants and traditional Baroque architecture. Continue to the Clerecía, another classic example of Baroque architecture, to admire its bell towers and cloisters.

Next, admire the facade of the Casa de las Conchas (shell house), a Gothic-style building covered in ornate shells. Continue through the patios of the University of Salamanca, the oldest university in the Hispanic world.

Finally, visit a hidden building to admire the Sky of Salamanca, a beautiful ceiling painting, before finishing your tour with a visit to the old and new cathedral.

With the extended tour, you can choose two extra monuments to visit. Choose from the historic university buildings, St. Stephen's Convent, the medieval cathedral towers, or the Monastery of the Dueñas or Las Claras.

Our tour with Martoke was truly delightful. She was super knowledgeable, friendly, and great at answering questions. We saw and learned a lot about buildings, customs, food, and items for sale we would never have figured out on our own or from a guidebook. GYG tours are always good, but Martoke was absolutely fantastic and made our day!

Martoke was very knowledgeable and friendly. Great comms through WhatsApp to organise start/meeting time. Well worth every penny as you can walk around the city yourself but you still won't have access to some of the interesting knowledge and information you get on this tour.

Terrific tour of the main sites of Salamanca with excellent detail by our guide Martoke. She was interesting, clear, knowledgeable and humorous. Saw everything in 2 hours and good for returning to those sites of more personal interest. Highly recommend.
