Tarazona Municipal Tourist Office

Tarazona's Municipal Tourist Office is on Plaza de San Francisco, beside the church of the same name, in the centre of the city. It is the logical starting point for any visit: here they give you the map, explain how to link the cathedral, the Episcopal Palace and the Jewish quarter, and tell you about the guided visits around the city and the Moncayo.

Hours and contact

The Town Council publishes hours with no seasonal changes. Monday to Friday it opens from 9:30 to 13:30 and from 16:00 to 19:00; on Saturdays from 10:00 to 14:00 and from 16:00 to 19:00, and on Sundays from 10:00 to 14:00 and from 16:00 to 18:00. You can reach it on 976 640 074 and 976 199 076 and at [email protected]. On major public holidays it is worth calling ahead to confirm it is open.

What they can help with

The office gives information on guided visits to the cathedral, the city and its surroundings, and from its page there are links to guided visits in the natural environment and the Moncayo. It is useful to ask here for the map of the old town: the city has a lower old town, on the banks of the River Queiles, and an upper quarter where the Episcopal Palace looks out over the old Jewish quarter, and the map helps you not to get lost between the two.

For the cathedral, hours and bookings are handled on its own website, catedraldetarazona.es. The immersive night experience HYDRIA, inside the cathedral, also has its own website, hydriacatedraldetarazona.org, where tickets are sold. If you are torn between one and the other, the office helps you fit them into the day.

Getting to the office

If you arrive by bus from Zaragoza or Soria, the page for the Zaragoza – Tarazona – Soria bus gathers the companies and phone numbers; the office can tell you where each line stops. If you come by car, ask at the office where to park near the centre before heading into the streets of the upper old town.

A day in Tarazona

With the map in hand, a sensible route starts at the Cathedral of Santa María de la Huerta, which you can complete with the heights of the Kiborion. Then go up to the Episcopal Palace and its dungeons and come down through the Jewish quarter and the old bullring. For lunch in the centre you have Saboya 21 or the Restaurante Agramonte.

If you stay more than a day, ask at the office about the climb up the Moncayo from the sanctuary, the Peña Roya beech forest and the Veruela Monastery, a few minutes away by car. In high season, book in good time for the guided visits that interest you: the office will tell you which days they run.
