A Perfect Picnic Overlooking the Circ Romà de Tarragona

#getgoing2025 #tarragona Having a picnic overlooking the Circ Romà de Tarragona is a unique way to enjoy both history and the breathtaking views of this ancient Roman site. Perched in the heart of Tarragona, this former chariot-racing arena is part of the city’s UNESCO World Heritage treasures, and its surrounding areas provide the perfect backdrop for a memorable outdoor meal. To make the most of your picnic, head to the Plaça del Rei or the terrace area near the old city walls. These spots offer panoramic views of the Circ Romà and the Mediterranean Sea. Pack a basket with fresh local delicacies, such as pa amb tomàquet (Catalan bread with tomato), olives, fuet (a type of cured sausage), and a bottle of Tarragona’s local wine or cava. We had lunch at 12pm but I recommend arriving during the late afternoon to enjoy the golden hour, when the sunlight bathes the Roman ruins in warm hues, and stay until sunset for a truly magical experience. Remember to bring a blanket, sunscreen, and a reusable bag for waste to keep this historic site pristine.
