Trujillo Tourist Office

Trujillo's municipal tourist office is in the Plaza Mayor, the great square of palaces, arcades and Pizarro's equestrian statue where any visit to the city begins. It is the place to ask for the map of the medieval town, each monument's opening times for the day and advice on the best routes and activities depending on how much time you have. Many churches and sites in Trujillo publish neither opening times nor prices online, so calling in here before climbing the hill saves you more than one closed door.

Opening hours and contact

According to the Junta de Extremadura listing, it opens every day. In winter, from 10:00 to 14:00 and from 16:00 to 19:00; in summer, from 10:00 to 14:00 and from 17:00 to 20:00. The telephone is 927 322 677 and the email, [email protected]. The website linked from the official listing does not work in November 2026, so for any query, call.

What they sort out for you

First of all the map: the medieval town is explored on foot through cobbled, sloping streets, and it helps to know the order. From the Plaza Mayor you go up to the church of Santa María la Mayor, with its altarpiece by Fernando Gallego; to the Pizarro House-Museum, for which no price is published; and to the castle, which is open every day and costs €2. At the office they confirm each site's afternoon hours, which change between winter and summer.

They also inform you about outings in the surroundings: the Rural Ethnographic Museum, 5 km away and by appointment, and the kestrel walk, which from February to July goes through Extremadura's largest urban colony of lesser kestrels.

Guided tours

The municipal office informs, but the guided tours are organised by private companies. In the same square, under the arcades, is the office of Turismo Trujillo, a guide company distinct from the municipal office: it leaves every day at 10:30 with the guided tour of the medieval town, with admission to four monuments, and also runs a sunset visit to the castle. Do not confuse them when looking for the office: the municipal one is in the Plaza Mayor, no number.

Getting there

Do not count on parking in the Plaza Mayor: leave the car outside the historic centre and walk up. If you come by bus, the bus station is in the lower part of the city, about fifteen minutes' walk away.

Tips

In summer, go up to the medieval town and the castle first thing or last thing in the afternoon, when the sun bears down less on the granite, and leave midday for the square and its arcades. If you are with a pushchair or someone with reduced mobility, ask at the office about the most comfortable access to each monument, because the climb from the Plaza Mayor is a cobbled slope. For a meal without leaving the square there is the Mesón La Troya, and a few steps away, in Plaza del Campillo, the Restaurante Emilia.
