Discover Historical Lugo
El Ferrol, for Santiago de Compostela

by coach & on foot
During this experience you will discover the fascinating city of Lugo and immerse yourself in its more than two thousand years of history.
Departing from the pier, an approximately 70-minute drive will take you to the Roman fortified city of Lugo. Upon arrival, you will enjoy a drive around its extremely well-preserved Roman wall, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000, before starting a guided walk around the Old Quarter.
Part of your guided walk will take you along a section of the pathway on top of the wall, the only Roman wall in the world to have kept its entire perimeter intact. From this elevated position you will have wonderful views of the Old Quarter.
Reaching the bustling Plaza Mayor, you will have approximately 1h15min of free time to explore at leisure and perhaps try some local delicacies at one of the many tapas bars in town or browse the shops for a souvenir of your visit.
