10 Free Things to do in Zaragoza That You Shouldn't Miss

February 25, 2022 Randal Brittian

A rich blend of the historic and modern, Zaragoza sits on the banks of the Ebro River. Stroll in the center of town near San Miguel's pedestrian ways or around the Plaza de los Sitios, where you find boutiques, markets and souvenir shops. A center for gastronomy, Zaragoza offers food and drink for every budget and taste. But tapas is a must! In 2008, Zaragoza hosted the International Exhibition; the Water Tower, Bridge Pavilion and River Aquarium show off of the city's avant-garde architecture.

Basilica de Nuestra Senora del Pilar

Reviewed By DemiHale1

Breathtaking, Awe-Inspiring, Magnificent, these are just a few words to describe this Amazing Cathedral!!! From the statuary to the artwork, the pews to the ceilings, I was at a loss for words!! This Church still holds services and I was lucky enough to be there to observe and pray, and though the service was in Spanish it was a beautiful and spiritual experience. Inside, a Roman-style pillar is topped by a statue of the Virgin Mary and baby Jesus that dates from the fifteenth century. It is housed in a chapel of marble, jasper, and gilded bronze that forms almost a church-within-a-church. You can also go to the back of the chapel, where people can kneel and kiss the pillar itself. It is a must see for anyone!!

El Tubo

Reviewed By SilviaTheChincheta - Antwerp, Belgium

El Tubo it is called like that because it is an area of very narrow streets in the city center of Zaragoza, like a “tube”. It is very known because it is dull of small bars and restaurants serving the best tapas and meals in town. The ambience is incredible. Locals choose to do a bit of bar hopping. They go from one bar to the other to eat the specialties from one or other place. They are mostly standing outside, it will be difficult in busy days to find places to sit, but in my opinion is part of the charm. I don’t think you can eat bad there, but my favourite places are: Doña Casta (croquetas), Meli Melo (everything!), bodegas Almau (anchovis tapas). If you are in Zaragoza and you don’t come eat here once, it is like not being in Zaragoza at all.

Iglesia de Santa Isabel de Portugal y San Cayetano

Reviewed By lesliewX9787SE

A very historic and beautiful church. On the outside the church is beautiful with all the architecture Associated with classic Espanic culture. BUT on the inside is an absolute work of art. My family and myself were honoured to be part of my son's wedding to a local girl. Coloured in bright yellow ,with all the trimmings is a work of art. So blessed to be able to go in ,as it is usually closed when we visit.
