Overview
Discover the fascinating history and character of Vigo on a guided walking tour through the city’s historic heart.
Accompanied by a local guide, you’ll explore Vigo’s Old Town, the original centre of the city, where historic streets, remnants of its medieval past and sections of the 17th-century defensive walls reveal how Vigo evolved over the centuries.
Continue to O Berbés, one of Vigo’s most authentic and atmospheric neighbourhoods. Once closely connected to the city’s fishing and port activities, this historic quarter offers a glimpse into Vigo’s maritime heritage and traditional way of life.
Along the way, uncover the story of Vigo from its early origins around Castro Hill and its development as a strategic Atlantic port to its transformation into modern-day Galicia’s largest city.
The tour continues towards the area surrounding San Sebastián Castle, an important site for understanding Vigo’s historic defences, strategic importance and urban growth.
With its combination of history, maritime traditions and local character, this walking tour offers an engaging introduction to the city and the story behind its rise from a small fishing settlement to a vibrant Atlantic port.
