About this tour
This private walking tour guides your group through Vigo's layered neighbourhoods over three and a half hours. Beginning in Casco Vello, the city's medieval heart, you'll navigate narrow laneways where Galician heritage lives in the architecture and stories locals share. Your guide leads you uphill to O Sereo for views across the old town and coastline, then continues to Mercado da Pedra, where market stalls showcase regional produce and the rhythms of daily Vigo life. The pace suits all fitness levels.

What to expect
Expect steady walking on uneven cobbles through the old quarter—comfortable shoes are essential. Your guide will pause at key corners to explain Vigo's maritime past and how neighbourhoods evolved from fishing settlements into residential quarters. The climb to O Sereo is moderate; once there, you'll spend time taking in the views and orientating yourself to the layout below. The final stretch descends toward Mercado da Pedra, where you'll observe (and potentially browse) fresh fish, produce, and local goods. The tour wraps without a meal, so you may want to grab something nearby afterwards.
