Description
Discover the magic of Tarragona on a private, customizable sightseeing tour. Tour the Roman Tarraco, the medieval center, and the sea of the Costa Dorada, with a guide just for you. Ready to be amazed?
We'll meet at the Portal del Roser to start your private adventure next to the iconic Tarragona wall, the oldest construction in Roman Tarraco and one of its symbols.
You'll stroll through the picturesque streets of Cavallers and Major, where you can leisurely admire the medieval-style architecture and feel the vibrant atmosphere of the city, at your own pace. Your tour guide will lead you to the staircase that leads to the Pla de la Seu, in the Part Alta of Tarragona, where you'll be greeted by the majestic Cathedral of Santa Tecla, built on Roman, Visigoth and Arab sites, whose Gothic rose window will impress you. Nearby, the historic Plaza del Foro awaits, the former center of Roman social and political life, where you can see impressive remains.
But there's still much more, as you'll head to the National Archaeological Museum and stop in front of the imposing Torre del Pretorio, or Castillo del Rey, a fortress where you'll find the statue of a mythical figure. Would you like to meet Augustus? The first Roman emperor will greet you overlooking the sea to tell you about the splendor of this magnificent city's past.
Can you imagine what the thrilling chariot races were like? You'll head to the Roman Circus, an architectural complex that ended up embedded in the urban center of Tarragona, making it one of the best-preserved in the world.
From here, your steps will take you to Plaza de la UNESCO, located at a point that connects the upper part of the city with the seaside district. This place commemorates the designation of the Tarraco Archaeological Ensemble as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000, which includes a total of fourteen protected sites!
It's almost time to end your visit, so we'll do it in style. You'll enter the Parque del Miracle, a terraced Roman garden with native Mediterranean plants that serves as a prelude to the Amphitheater, an impressive venue built near the sea where all kinds of shows were held, such as gladiator fights.
To round off the tour, you'll say goodbye from the Balcony of the Mediterranean, a very special vantage point for the people of Tarragona located at the end of Rambla Nova, from where you can enjoy a privileged panoramic view of the Mare Nostrum, the harbor, and the amphitheater. The perfect spot for your tour guide to recommend, in a totally personalized way, the best places to taste the city's rich cuisine, a mix of fresh fish and local agricultural products, ideal for pairing with excellent wines or the typical vermouth as an aperitif.
