Sights in Vigo

Thanks to the international airport, getting to and from Vigo is completely unproblematic, so there is no unnecessary stress. Already founded by the Romans, Vigo can look back on a varied history. During the heyday of Spanish exploration in the Middle Ages, many expedition fleets set off on their great voyages from the natural harbour in Vigo.

Some time later, the city was sacked and burned by Turkish pirates, which almost spelled the end of the city. However, due to the boom of the Industrial Revolution, the population grew again from 5,000 inhabitants in the mid-19th century, to over 300,000 inhabitants today.

Worth seeing in Vigo is the old city centre, which adjoins the port. Here you will find numerous restaurants, bars and pubs, so that the physical well-being is provided. The shopping street Principe offers a lot of shopping possibilities to buy a souvenir in Vigo. In the cityscape of Vigo there are some archetectonic bridges that are worth seeing, some of them are already several hundred years old. Also worth a visit is the old fortress, which towers somewhat above the city and is open daily for tours.
