Cáceres Tourist Office

On the Plaza Mayor, at the foot of the Arco de la Estrella. It is open every day from 10:00 to 14:00 and in the afternoon from 16:30 to 19:30 in winter and from 17:30 to 20:30 in summer. Ask here for the day's hours for the co-cathedral and the churches, which change with services.

Contact

The municipal office is at Plaza Mayor, s/n. It can be reached on 927 111 222 and at [email protected], and its website is turismo.caceres.es. The Junta's listing in Spanish gives hours for every day of the week; the English version of the same listing says that in winter it closes on Mondays. If you go on a Monday outside summer, call first.

What they sort out

Here they give you the map of the monumental city, the hours and prices of churches and museums and information on guided visits. It is the place to confirm whether what you want to see is open: the Cáceres Museum has the Veletas palace and the cistern closed for works since July 2025, the Helga de Alvear Museum asks for a booking at weekends and the Bujaco Tower, above the Plaza Mayor, has a paid entrance. Ask also about the Golfines de Abajo palace, which can only be seen with a guided visit.

If you prefer to have it explained to you, the full tour of Cáceres, two and a half hours with four tickets included, leaves from the same Plaza Mayor.

What to see on leaving

From the office door you enter the monumental city through the Arco de la Estrella. A few minutes away are the Santa María co-cathedral and Plaza de San Jorge, with the San Francisco Javier steps. If you come in November, ask for the dates of the Three Cultures Medieval Market, which takes over the monumental city for a weekend.

Getting to the square

If you arrive by train or bus, the two stations are together, about two kilometres away: see the listings for the train station and the bus station. For eating near the square there is the Figón de Eustaquio, on Plaza de San Juan, and for sleeping 150 metres away, the Alameda Palacete.
