Welcome to Salamanca, a cultural gem in the heart of Spain. This beautiful city lies in the region of Castile and León, around 200km west of Madrid. 

If you decide to visit, Salamanca will delight you with its irresistible mix of history, stunning architecture and lively student life. In fact, the city is world renowned for its university, one of the oldest in Europe, founded in 1218. 

The unique feel of Salamanca is due to its charming, cobbled streets and its buildings dating back to the Golden Age (the height of Spain’s artistic and literary achievements, between 1492 and 1681).

The Plaza Mayor, built in the Baroque style, is the beating heart of the city and one of the loveliest squares in Spain. This is the perfect place to start your visit. From here you can walk to the University of Salamanca, which with its Plateresque façade, skilfully and ornately decorated, is a remarkable example of Spanish Renaissance architecture. 

The Old Cathedral and the New Cathedral are two Gothic masterpieces that bear testimony to the religious glory of Salamanca. Another absolute must-see is the Casa de las Conchas, or House of Shells, one of most famous buildings in the centre of the city, due to its Gothic façade adorned with carvings of shells.

Salamanca is also known for its vibrant nightlife and the contagious energy of the students who fill its streets. At night, the bars and restaurants in the old town come to life, making it the ideal environment to enjoy yourself as you soak up the relaxed but lively local atmosphere.

So, Salamanca is a perfect destination if you’re looking for a combination of history, culture and entertainment, all within an attractive urban setting. There’s no doubt that a trip to this city will be unforgettable and capable of charming and inspiring each and every visitor.
