11. Museum of Contemporary Art (Marco)

Transportation in Vigo

Vigo is a walkable city, but be aware it is hilly. If you don’t like walking inclines there are plenty of taxis, a hop-on-hop-off bus, private tour operators, and public transportation (bus) available.

Our ship-booked shore excursion was canceled at the last minute so we ended up taking a private tour that we signed up for right off the ship. It was only 17 Euros and lasted 2.5 hours. The company we went with is Tours by Locals .

We enjoyed our tour and had we not already scheduled excursions with the ship we may have gone on tours in other ports with them. Several people on our ship scheduled with them for multiple ports.

TIP: Enter the mall at the cruise terminal and go upstairs and across the bridge, it will save you some walking uphill.

Vigo cruise ship terminal features a modern terminal building featuring basic facilities including souvenirs, security screening and toilets. A brand new tourist information office is situated right across the terminal.

Upon exiting the cruise terminal building, you’ll spot a wonderful marina packed with boats and a large A Laxe shopping mall where you can find some shops (a large Mediamarkt store is very popular), outdoor cafes and free wi-fi .

Keep walking along Rúa Cánovas del Castillo esplanade, cross the street, and in a few minutes, you’ll reach the famous Mercado da Pedra market in Rúa Teófilo Llorente Street. From there, keep walking uphill and you’ll reach the old town and the city’s main pedestrian street.

9 Best Things to Do in the Port of Vigo

Before I share the best things to do in Vigo, I invite you to grab your copy of the “ Mediterranean Cruise Port Guide” , the most comprehensive guide to 45 Mediterranean cruise ports (including Vigo) , packed with practical information, expert tips & unforgettable experiences! (PDF format/200 pages)

1. Mercado da Pedra

This amazing seafood market is one of the most authentic places in Vigo, located less than a 10-minute walk from Vigo port. It is tucked in Rúa Teófilo Llorente alley filled with seafood restaurants where you can taste freshly shucked oysters and buy souvenirs.

The street itself is a bit inclined so passengers with walking difficulties or wheelchair users may find it challenging to handle. In that case, I suggest you access Mercado da Pedra from La Laxe shopping mall’s top floor via the pedestrian bridge mentioned above. Also, keep in mind that this seafood market is a very touristy place and prices here may be slightly more expensive than in other places in Vigo. The food is delicious, though, and the overall experience is well worth it!

2. Casco Vello (Old Town)

Mercado da Pedra is part of Vigo’s old town, a beautiful historic quarter filled with elegant Renaissance buildings, authentic restaurants, wine houses, tapas bars and shops. The old town area starts right outside the port Vigo and includes some of the city’s major landmarks such as the 19th-century, Neoclassical Concatedral – Basílica de Santa María de Vigo .

The Old Town consists of numerous winding streets, small squares, stores and taverns that can only be accessed on foot. Plaza de la Constitución is the central town square, while Praza da Igrexa (the square where the Cathedral is situated), Praza da Pedra and Praza da Princesa are also lovely and reflect the Vigo’s authentic vibe.

A stone’s throw from Casco Vello, you’ll find the Castelo de San Sebastián , the ruins of an old fortress that is nowadays a public park that you can explore free of charge. The park offers nice views of the harbour, Vigo’s Bay and the port, and it is best accessed from behind the Concello de Vigo (Vigo’s Town Hall). Keep in mind that some streets of Vigo’s Old Town are cobbled and inclined, so it may be challenging for people with walking difficulties. It takes only a 10-minute walk to get to the Old Town from the dock.

Explore Vigo walking tours

3. Rúa do Príncipe

Once you access Plaza de la Constitución, keep walking straight and you’ll reach Praza da Princesa (you’ll see a big Ale-Hop store across the street). Here, you cross the street (Praza Porta do Sol) and you’ll reach the main pedestrian street in the town – Rúa do Príncipe, where you’ll find banks, pharmacies, clothing, cosmetics, jewelry and other designer and local stores. On the side streets, you’ll find some restaurants and cafes where you can eat and drink at an affordable price.

4. Castelo do Castro

If you want to admire the best panoramic views of the city, head to the Castelo do Castro ( Fortress of O Castro ), a medieval fortress and a hilltop park with prehistoric stone ruins dating from the Iron Age.

The fortress was built in 1665 during the Portuguese Restoration War to protect the city from attacks by the British Royal Navy, Portugal’s allies. Nowadays, it is a beautiful park with gardens, fountains and magnificent views of the city. If you are into jogging, running and fresh air, this is a must-see place!

Castelo do Castro is located 1.5 km/0.9 miles (a 25-minute walk) from the port of Vigo and to get there, you need to be able to climb a lot of stairs or walk the curving paths uphill to the top. At the top, there are no vendors or toilets available, so make sure to bring water and use the facilities before climbing. You may find escalators on the way up on some of the winding streets, but back down you need to go on foot (I suggest you check this out with the tourist information office as they may provide more details).

5. Samil Beach

Praia de Samil (Samil Beach) is the main and the most breathtaking beach in Vigo and one of the most beautiful ones in Galicia. It is located 6.7 km/4.1 miles (a 15-minute drive) southwest of the port of Vigo.

Playa Samil is a 1.7 km (5.600 ft) long stretch of white sands backed by a beautiful waterfront promenade with numerous sports facilities, parks, parking lots, pools and a few cafes and restaurants. It is ideal for couples, families with kids and all people who want to spend an enjoyable beach day on the coast of Galicia. To get there, you can take public transport (check with a tourist information office for more details) or a taxi.

6. Wine Tasting at Bodegas Granbazán

The coast of Galicia is stunning as well as Galician seafood and wines. Rías Baixas region, which consists of four estuarine inlets located on the southwestern coast of Galicia, is renowned for its Albariño wines , a variety of white wine grapes grown in Galicia and Northwest Portugal. There are many wine tours offered and if you’re a wine lover, I suggest you go for a tour of a winery and taste Galicia’s premium wines.

I joined a cruise ship shore excursion to Bodegas Granbazán , situated 53 km/33 miles (a 45-minute drive) north of Vigo, and it was perfect! Not only do you get a chance to admire Galicia’s magnificent coast and verdant hilly landscapes, but you also get to taste the region’s renowned wines in this picturesque place set in the heart of the Rías Baixas region. The experience usually includes wine tasting and a tour of the winery and vineyards surrounding this dream estate.

7. Pontevedra

Pontevedra is a beautiful city on the coast of Galicia and the capital of the Province of Pontevedra. Surrounded by the verdant scenic hills, the city is located on the edge of an estuary at the end of the Ria de Pontevedra, in the heart of the Rías Baixas. It is located 30 km/18.6 miles (a 30-minute drive) north of Vigo Pier.

Pontevedra is known for the well-preserved Old Town and the Baroque church of the Pilgrim Virgin , an 18th-century scallop-shaped chapel that is the major symbol of the town. It is dedicated to the Virgin who, according to tradition, guided pilgrims from Baiona (in the southwest of the province of Pontevedra) to Santiago de Compostela, in the north. 

Other city landmarks include the 16th-century Gothic Basilica of Saint Mary Major , the ruins of the Gothic church of St. Dominic dating from the 14th century that today house the Pontevedra Museum , the Convent and the Church of San Francisco , and others.

8. Santiago de Compostela

Santiago de Compostela is the capital of Galicia and the famous pilgrimage site that was the third most important religious site after Rome and Jerusalem in medieval times. It is the final stop of Saint James’ Way and is known for thousands of pilgrims who have been coming here for centuries.

The medieval city is world-famous for its imposing Santiago de Compostela Cathedral consecrated in 1211, the burial place of the relics of James the Apostle discovered in the 9th century. The city’s medieval old town is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is centered around Plaza del Obradoiro , the main square dominated by the monumental cathedral.

On the square, you’ll find the 18th-century Neoclassical palace of the Town Hall (Pazo de Raxoi) and Hospital Real de Santiago de Compostela , the 5-star hotel that is said to be the oldest in the world. The medieval old town is known for its narrow cobblestone streets filled with restaurants, cafes, tapas bars and souvenir shops.

While exploring the old town, make sure to visit charming squares such as Praza da Quintana de Vivos , Praza da Immaculada with the beautiful Monastery of San Martiño Pinario , the second largest monastery in Spain and parks such as Park Alameda , the 16th century with historic monuments and a colorful garden.

Useful info :

• Santiago de Compostela is located 90 km/56 miles (a 1-hour drive) north of Vigo port. If your itinerary includes a stop at La Coruna cruise port , you can also visit the city from there (shore excursions are offered).
• If you join one of the bus tours to Santiago de Compostela, keep in mind that the bus parking is situated a 15-minute walk from Santiago de Compostela’s old town and the cathedral. Toilets are available at the parking lot. The walk may involve inclines and uneven surfaces, so guests in wheelchairs and with walking difficulties may find it challenging. Taxis and cars may come closer, but the old town is a pedestrian zone so be prepared for a moderate amount of walking.
• You can tour the Cathedral and visit its interior and the museum for a fee. Find more information on Santiago de Compostela Cathedral’s official website

Situated 36 km/22 miles (a 35-minute drive) southwest of Vigo cruise port, Baiona (Bayona) is another historic town known for a charming medieval old town and a beautiful marina tucked in the picturesque bay.

This coastal town is known as the port where La Pinta , the fastest of the three Spanish ships used by Christopher Columbus in his transatlantic voyage to the New World, moored when it returned to Europe on March 1, 1493, making Baiona the first port that received news of the discovery of America. Today, a replica of the ship can be seen and on every 1st of March, the “Festa da arribada” (Arrival Fiesta) takes place to commemorate this important event.

One of the main city landmarks is Monterreal Fort (Fortaleza de Monterreal) with its Príncipe Tower (Torre do Príncipe), located on Monterreal Peninsula overlooking Cíes Islands and the southern  Rías Baixas region. Nowadays, visitors can admire Parador de Baiona , a 4-star hotel housed in the medieval fortress. Another landmark is Santa María Collegiate Church (Colexiata de Santa María de Baiona) which dates back to the 18th century.

Vigo Shore Excursions

Tucked away in the north-west corner of Spain, the autonomous region of Galicia could hardly be more different than the widely held perception of Spain as a land of flamenco and bullfighting. This is a Spain of rolling green valleys, a wild Atlantic coastline and historic towns where reminders of their Celtic origins are never far away. Cruise ships visiting this region usually stop in either A Coruña on the northern coast or in Vigo which lies 160km to the south and is just 35km from the Portuguese border.

The Port of Vigo is one of those lesser known destinations where passengers tend to have few expectations yet with a little planning it can prove to be a highlight of your cruise. Visitors can discover the historic centre then enjoy some of Spain’s finest seafood and white wines in the city’s excellent tapas bars. Alternatively, some passengers prefer to arrange a shore excursion to the stunning city of Santiago de Compostela. This is one of Spain’s greatest tourist attractions where St. James is believed to be buried in the magnificent cathedral which marks the end of the popular pilgrimage known as the ‘Camino de Santiago’.

Port of Vigo

Whilst cruise ship passengers might not know what to expect from their visit to Vigo, the local tourism authorities are well aware of the value that the cruise ships bring to their city. The modern cruise ship terminal is testament to the value the city places on the new wave of tourists arriving by sea in what was until quite recently a little-known destination.

You will disembark from your ship at the ‘Puerto De Transatlanticos’ which lies within a short walk of the city centre. Passengers who have arranged to take official shore excursions arranged by their cruise company or have organised private tours will usually meet their vehicles and drivers immediately at the pier where they get off their ship.

Insider Tip: Some passengers who aren’t in any rush to get into the town centre often enjoy a visit to the ‘Centro Comercial A Laxe’ which is an impressive shopping complex located right next to the port.

Walking in Vigo shouldn’t pose a problem for most passengers but please note that it’s uphill from the port to the town centre so a taxi might be preferable in some cases. It also rains a lot in Galicia so be sure to wear good shoes for strolling around the cobbled streets of the Old Town (‘Casco Vello’).

Vigo Airport

Passengers who are beginning or ending their cruise in the Port of Vigo may arrive or depart through Vigo-Peinador Airport which lies less than 10km east of the city centre. Most incoming flights are domestic services so you might have to arrange a connection via Madrid or Barcelona. Private transport to and from Vigo Airport can be arranged in advance with airport transfer specialist Shuttledirect. They will also be able to provide services to alternative airports including Santiago de Compostela and Porto. If you’d prefer to travel by public transport you’ll find bus services which operate between the city and the airport and taxis are always available to meet incoming flights.

Getting Around in Vigo

As we’ve already mentioned, walking into town is the preferred way of getting around for many cruise ship passengers although the climb from the port to the Old Town might prove challenging to some. In that case you should simply jump in a taxi as you’re leaving the port area and get a ride into the centre.

A recommended way to see the city is to take a taxi beyond the Old Town to O Castro Mountain from where you’ll get superb views over the city and the ocean. From there you can walk downhill into the historic centre and eventually back to the ship thus avoiding the need to walk uphill at all.

Main Tourist Attractions

Walk Around the Old Town: Once you’ve made your way to the ‘Casco Vello’ you can wander around at your leisure in what is a compact area made up of four main squares connected by a series of winding, cobbled streets. Within these streets you’ll come across some fascinating old shops, a number of ancient churches and a number of very appealing tapas bars, cafés and typical Galician restaurants.

Visit Oyster Street: An institution in Vigo is a street referred to by the locals as ‘Rúa das Ostras’ where a number of outdoor stalls sell fresh oysters to passers-by. Officially called ‘Rúa da Pescadería’ this street is also home to some of the city’s best known fish restaurants where visitors can enjoy an outstanding seafood lunch with a glass of local Albariño wine.

Admire the Views from O Castro Castle: Standing on a hill in the centre of Vigo, this parkland was home to the city’s first Celtic settlers between the 3rd and 1st centuries BC. The main attraction of the mountain is the 17th century O Castro Castle from where views across the Vigo Estuary are unbeatable.

Go to the Beach: If you’re fortunate enough to arrive on a hot summer’s day you might decide to spend some time at one of the many beautiful, sandy beaches located along this coastline. A popular choice amongst the locals is Praia de Samil to the south of the city which is easily accessible by frequent local buses or by taxi in about 15 minutes.

Visit Santiago de Compostela: The most popular shore excursion from Vigo Port is to the city of Santiago de Compostela which lies just 85km to the north. Most cruise lines offer day trips otherwise you can get there by taxi from just outside the port gates or take a train from Vigo-Guixar railway station.

One Night in Vigo

Passengers extending their cruise itinerary to include an overnight stay in Vigo should make the most of the opportunity to dine in one of the city’s excellent seafood restaurants. Highly recommended are Casa Vella and O Porton which are both on Rua Pescaderia.

Explore and Enjoy the Galician Coast on Vigo Shore Excursions

A world-class fishing port city surrounded by lush mountains is at your feet when your western Mediterranean cruise ship docks at the Puerto de Transatlantico in Vigo. Shore excursions in and around the beautiful and historic Galicia coast of northwest Spain introduce you to its finest sights and sensations.

Vigo, Spain shore excursions to tour the city sights are an excellent way to get to know the particular joys of the Galician coast and its epic landscapes. As you arrive at the 17th century Fortaleza del Castro, built to ward off the British during the Portuguese Restoration War, you’ll have magnificent views of Vigo’s estuary, harbor, historic district, surrounding mountains, and the Cies Islands. You’ll pass close by the Cies Islands, part of the Atlantic Islands of Galicia National Park, on the way to Baiona, a charming medieval port town where Columbus’s ship, La Pinta, returned from its historic New World voyages. Visit the 13th century Romanesque Collegiate Church, the Monterreal Castle, and the remains of the city’s 16th century ramparts.

The beaches of the Galician coast are simply spectacular, and Vigo shore excursions can whisk you away for a day spent on the white sand of Samil Beach. Enjoy a day of lively beach activities perfect for families, couples, or singles. Swim in the cool, sparkling sea, splash in one of the three pools, and kick back at one of the beach restaurants or cafes.

Discover one of the great places of Catholic pilgrimage on a guided tour of Santiago de Compostela, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that captivates visitors from around the world. See the cathedral that is the final resting place of James the Apostle and hear about his remarkable life. On a walking tour of the town, you can explore the many historic monuments, including the Palacio Rajoy and the Plaza del Obradoiro.

The Galician coast is world famous for its seafood and its wines, and Vigo shore excursions offer opportunities to learn more about both. First, you’ll drive to Combarro, a picturesque fishing village. Next, stroll through the narrow streets and encounter several granite cruceiros (cross monuments) and shorefront houses with a hórreo (granary) at the back for drying corn or fish. Board a catamaran that will take you along the estuary to see the operations of a mussel farm, and taste the sweetest, freshest boiled mussels.

On your cruise to Vigo , spend a day exploring area wineries and tasting local vintages featuring the region’s premier grape, the Albariño. Discover cutting-edge macerating techniques at Agro de Bazan Winery, then drive on to Baiona to enjoy a wine tasting at a luxury hotel built within the walls of a medieval fortress.
