5 Star Hotels in Santiago de Compostela

A historical center of the city should better be cruised on foot as remarkable landmarks and sites are located there just at every turn. Tourists visiting the city of Santiago de Compostela for the first time should necessarily get a city map as it will help to escape various embarrassing situations and will add comfort to the process of city exploration.

A central part of the city is cruised by numerous buses running in rather short intervals of 20 minutes. Bus tickets should be bought in advance in special stalls. A cost of a ticket will not exceed 2 Euro.

Tourists limited in time are advised to make a trip by a special excursion train starting from the Praza do Obradoiro station which is located next to the same name square. The route of the train runs though the most beautiful and remarkable spots of the city. A cost of a trip by the excursion train will be about 5 Euro meanwhile children under 12 years old may enjoy a trip at a cost of 3 Euro only.

The building of the City Hall hosts a central tourist information office providing foreign guests with leaflets containing the list and descriptions of local landmarks. Tourists will also have a chance to specify the schedule of cultural events held in the city during their visit. The office also books excursions and tours offering sufficient discounts for groups of tourists.
