Ciudad Rodrigo Tourist Office

The Ciudad Rodrigo Tourist Office is the municipal office. It is at Plaza Mayor 27, under the arcades of the town hall, in the centre of the walled enclosure. Besides giving information, it manages the town council's exhibition spaces, including the fortifications interpretation centre and the Chamber Pot Museum, and books their guided visits.

Opening hours and contact

In November 2026 it is open every day, Monday to Sunday, from 9:30 to 14:00 and from 16:00 to 19:00. The hours change with the month and each season the office publishes a sheet with its own hours and those of all the monuments, which can be downloaded from its website. The phone number is 664 346 580 and the email [email protected]; for guided visits to the fortifications they also answer on 923 49 84 00, the town council's number.

The fortifications and the exhibition spaces

Ciudad Rodrigo is a frontier fortress town, and the visit the office organises is of its defences. The fortifications interpretation centre, in the Registro area and the guardhouse beside the Puerta del Conde, is open from 10:00 to 14:00 and from 16:00 to 19:30, with guided visits at 11:00, 13:00, 16:30 and 18:00. There is a joint ticket for all the municipal spaces: the fortifications centre, the San Cayetano exhibition centre, with the Chamber Pot Museum, the Drummer Museum and the old Science Laboratory, and the ruins of the convent of San Francisco. It costs €5, reduced €2.50, and is free for under-10s.

What else they sort out

At the office they give you the city map and guide you for the walk along the wall and the Plaza Mayor and the old town. In the upper gallery of the same Casa Consistorial there is a free exhibition. The cathedral is open every day from 11:00 to 14:00 and from 16:00 to 18:00; general admission, with audio guide, costs €8, and is free Monday to Thursday from 11:00 to 11:30, except on public holidays. The Moctezuma palace, the Casa de la Cultura, has free admission and the exhibition "Ciudad Rodrigo in the War of Independence", with guided visits at weekends at 12:30 and 18:00.

The office also gives information on the rock art site of Siega Verde, a World Heritage Site, about 18 km away, which can only be visited with a guide and prior booking (653 781 071), and passes on the contacts of the city's official guides, such as the AGOTCIR association (722 375 313).

Tips

If you are going to see several spaces, buy the joint ticket at the first one you visit. To sleep inside the walls, the Parador occupies the castle of Enrique II, whose keep can be climbed for €2. The November hours have exceptions at some spaces, such as the afternoon closing days of the convent of San Francisco: confirm them at the office before planning your day.
