Turismo de Pontevedra

Pontevedra's municipal tourist office, in Praza de España: guided tours of the historic centre, a night tour of the bridges and routes along the Lérez.

Turismo de Pontevedra is the tourism service of the Concello de Pontevedra. It is open at the office in Praza de España and organises the municipal guided tours of the city, with local guides.

What it organises

The main one is the guided tour of the historic centre: an hour and three quarters on foot through the squares of A Leña, A Verdura, Teucro and Méndez Núñez and the Cinco Calles, with entry to the ruins of Santo Domingo, the Peregrina, San Bartolomé and the basilica of Santa María. It costs €7, €5 reduced, and is free up to age 12. It runs at Easter, in summer and on some long weekends.

In summer it also schedules a night tour of the Lérez bridges, which leaves from the Mercado de Abastos and costs €8; free paddle-surf routes on the river, for over-7s who can swim; a dramatised tour of medieval and Renaissance Pontevedra, in July and the first half of August; and a tour designed for deaf, hard-of-hearing or deafblind people and their families.

How to book

Each tour has its own booking calendar on the website. Paid ones need a minimum of 8 people; if it is not reached, the office lets you know and suggests alternatives. Groups can book a tailor-made tour and ask for a quote at [email protected] or on 986 090 890. Tours are in Spanish.
