Vitoria-Gasteiz

Green, vibrant, steeped in history.

Vitoria-Gasteiz which is a city best explored on foot. Its almond-shaped historic centre holds centuries of history within its walls, towers and squares. Its cobbled streets whisper of medieval legends, whilst colourful murals fill every corner with art.

Everything is close by here: the cathedral, the museums, the taverns where you can savour pintxos, and the parks that embrace the city.

And beyond the centre, Vitoria-Gasteiz opens up to green routes, footpaths and cycle lanes. A city that cares for what it loves, peaceful, sustainable and surprising.

Take your time. This is a city to linger in.
