Guided Tour of Úbeda with the Salvador and the Water Synagogue

Artificis's guided tour of Úbeda is the most complete way to understand the Renaissance city in a morning or an afternoon: two and a half hours on foot through the historic centre with a guide, with tickets to the Sacra Capilla del Salvador and the Water Synagogue included. It leaves every day, in an open group with other visitors who book the same date, and is guaranteed from two people.

From Vázquez de Molina to Calle Real

The meeting point is the Artificis office at Calle Baja del Salvador, 2, next to the chapel itself. The route starts in Plaza Vázquez de Molina, where you go into the Sacra Capilla del Salvador and see the Deán Ortega Palace, the Marqués de Mancera Palace, the church of Santa María de los Reales Alcázares, the Vázquez de Molina Palace, the old Pósito and the Bishop's Prison.

It continues through Plaza 1º de Mayo, the old Mercado promenade, with the former town hall buildings and the church of San Pablo, passes the Museo Oratorio de San Juan de la Cruz and goes into the Water Synagogue, the medieval synagogue with a ritual bath that can only be visited with a guide. It finishes through Plaza del Ayuntamiento, the Vela de los Cobos Palace and Calle Real, with the Palace of the Counts of Guadiana.

Price and what is included

It costs €24.90 per adult, €11.90 for ages 7 to 12 and is free for children under 7. The price already includes the two tickets, which separately cost €7 for the Salvador and €6 for the synagogue. With groups of more than ten people, audio guides are used: you can bring your own headphones with a standard jack or buy a pair for €1. A booking made on the website has priority, so it is best to book beforehand.

With your ticket, Artificis gives a one-euro discount at the San Juan de la Cruz Museum, the basilica of Santa María, the tourist train and the Plazuela de la Judería, which are not part of the route. The company reserves the right to change the schedule or the itinerary if a building closes for reasons beyond its control.

When and how

Departure times are confirmed when you book or on 953 75 81 50. It is two and a half hours on foot, with stairs in the synagogue, so wear comfortable shoes. The tour fits well with the Sunday in Úbeda and Baeza and, for a meal afterwards, Cantina La Estación is in Úbeda.
