2025 Salamanca Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

#2月好地方2025 Salamanca is the oldest university city in Spain. A day trip to the suburbs of Madrid. After leaving the ancient city of Ávila, we headed to our next destination, Salamanca. It was about an hour's drive, and along the way there were barren plateau sandstone landforms. The first place we visited was the main square built with yellow sandstone. If you visit at noon, it looks like glittering golden light under the sunlight, hence the name "Golden Square". The square is surrounded by shops and cafes. You can sit outdoors with a cup of coffee and feel the charm of the medieval old town. From the main square, walk through the stone path, pass the cathedral, and along the way you will see the University of Salamanca engraved on the wall. In fact, this entire city is a university town! There are many architectural schools scattered around the church. Turning around, you will see the exquisite relief gate at the entrance of the university. Inside the campus, there is a small square surrounded by granite columns and arcades. The symmetrical and pleasing space, coupled with green land and blue sky, makes people feel extremely comfortable! The small classrooms around here have even been converted into museums, so there are so many surprises to see everywhere. #SpainTravel #Salamanca

spent a few days to hop on day trips from Salamanca. nice relaxing place and of cause the highlight was the cathedral. do note that you should purchase tickets in advance as the lines were incredibly long. we opted for the guided tour of the church and it was worthwhile. guide was thorough and lots of information was provided. other than that, Salamanca has lots of bars with cheap and good wine, cocktails and food. city centre had some crowd but not overly crowded. just the right fanfare for a party feel. shops seemed to close somewhat early on sundays as was typical but there were enough eateries opened

#springwander Salamanca is an absolute gem! 🇪🇸 The Plaza Mayor is one of the most beautiful squares I’ve ever seen—especially at night when it’s all lit up! ✨ The entrance to the University of Salamanca (€10) was worth it, with its stunning historic architecture and the famous frog carving on the facade. 🐸 The two cathedrals were breathtaking, and climbing the Ieronimus towers gave an amazing view of the city. A must-visit for history and architecture lovers! 🏛️ #Salamanca #SpainTravel #PlazaMayor #History #Architecture #CityViews

Traveling westward in Spain ~ Salamanca (region) Created by Archbishop Alonso de Fonseca of Toledo, it is built around a courtyard and is accessed through a hall with a pointed vault decorated with star patterns. The courtyard has two floors, the lower floor is a semicircular arch and the upper floor is a segmented arch. Both floors are decorated with medals created by Juan de Álava and Pedro de Ibarra, representing a series of "Uomini Famosi" or outstanding figures. On the main facade there are sculptures of Saints Augustine and Saint Ildefonso, as well as the medal of Santiago from the Battle of Clavijo.

Heading West in Spain ~ Salamanca (Region) Domus Artium 2002 (DA2) was established in 2002, coinciding with Salamanca being designated as the European Capital of Culture. Previously a prison, it has spacious rooms that have been renovated and expanded to provide ample space for showcasing various modern art pieces. The museum primarily focuses on contemporary art and new technologies.

Spain Westward ~ Salamanca (Region) This historic building was built in the 17th century on the orders of Queen Margarita of Austria, wife of Philip III of Spain, and was supervised by Juan Gomez de Mora. It is a church and college of the Society of Jesus. Originally known as the Royal College of the Society of Jesus, Salamanca's Church of Clericía is a Baroque building with a public section (the church and school rooms where the Jesuits gave lectures) and a private section, where the monks lived. The church has a huge three-story Baroque cloister. The monument is now the headquarters of the Pontifical University of Salamanca. The exhibition is held in the Scala Coeli (the name of the church tower), where you can climb inside and enjoy the magnificent view from above. #2024TravelReview #SpainTravel #Castile-León

When we talk about Salamanca Cathedral, we actually mean two churches connected together. First there was the old cathedral from the 12th-13th centuries; then the new one from the 16th century. The old cathedral is in Romanesque style and has an outstanding Gallo tower. This temple, which was built at the end of the 12th century, houses the Chapel of St. Martin or the Oil. The major repaintings, dating from the 15th century by several painters, led by Dello Delli, are also noteworthy. The frescoes covering the vault are the work of Nicolás Florentino. In this great painting we can see an image of Christ at the Last Judgment. The old cathedral attracts the attention of tourists because of the beautiful tombs of bishops and members of the nobility that are located inside. The new cathedral was built in the 16th century and completed by Churriguera in the 18th century, and houses a statue of the Assumption of the Virgin sculpted in 1624 by the sculptor Esteban de Rueda. In the new cathedral, the choir stalls designed by Joaquín Churriguera in 1727 are particularly noteworthy. The temple's Baroque choir screen is very beautiful and features Renaissance images such as those of Our Lady of Loreto and St. John the Baptist. #2024TravelReview #SpainTravel #Castile-León

Heading west in Spain ~ Salamanca (Region) It is a Baroque-style square built according to the plans of Alberto Churriguera. On the north side is the Town Hall, a Baroque building with five granite arches and a spire adorned with allegorical figures. Several medallions in its decoration are particularly striking, including those of Charles I, Alfonso XI, Ferdinand VI, Cervantes, and Saint Teresa. The building's facade is three stories high, with semicircular arches and railings. Today, this square is one of the liveliest and most popular places in Salamanca.

Spain Westward Journey ~ Salamanca (Region) Founded in 1218, the University of Salamanca is renowned outside Spain as a center of teaching and culture. The university building is square in plan, with a central courtyard and surrounding galleries. Its most interesting feature is its Plateresque appearance. The Escuelas Menores building, located next to the university, has a similar art deco facade, and in one of the classrooms you can still see the ceiling painted by Fernando Gállego. #2024TravelReview #SpainTravel #Castile-León

Heading west in Spain ~ Salamanca (region) Strolling through the streets of the historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, means walking through centuries of history, art, and knowledge, experiencing the wonders of landmark buildings such as the famous university, one of the oldest in Europe, which still attracts thousands of students today. When night falls, the sunset's afterglow gives these monuments a special golden hue, thanks to the stone used to build them. At that moment, Salamanca at night begins to show its charm, bringing a lively, youthful atmosphere. Secrets hidden in the monuments. When you enter Salamanca's monuments, a world full of legends and history awaits you. You can start your pleasant walk from the famous Plaza Mayor, the city's most outstanding meeting point. It is highly recommended to enjoy a coffee at the legendary Novelty restaurant while admiring the 88 arches or quietly sitting on the terrace. You can start exploring Salamanca's two cathedrals (yes, there are two! The new and the old). At the Ramos Gate of the new cathedral, you need to find the astronaut statue carved in stone, and then climb one of the towers on the Ieronimus tour to experience unparalleled views. Are there more secrets? The facade of the University of Salamanca "hides" a stone frog, which is said to bring good luck to students; legend has it that a treasure is hidden in the palace of Casa de las Conchas, the Huerto de Calixto y Melibea is actually a garden related to a literary story; it is said that the devil taught witchcraft in the Salamanca cave... In this city with many landmark buildings, there are thousands of similar stories, such as Casa Lis, Cielo de Salamanca, Clerecía, and Roman churches. Gastronomy and nightlife: two other strengths of Salamanca One thing that is certainly no secret is the delicious cuisine of this city. Some of its typical products include various cured sausages, ham from Guijuelo, and a popular snack called "hornazo," a pastry filled with eggs, pork loin, chorizo, and other ingredients... You can buy some to take away, although eating it here will definitely make it taste even more delicious. Speaking of shopping, the pedestrian streets of Toro and Zamora are full of shops, and at Plaza del Liceo, you can even shop inside a renovated church (part of the old San Antonio el Real monastery). The city's nightlife is also renowned, with students bringing vitality to the city day and night. You can feel their energy on a tapas tour along Calle Van Dyck, and their alternative culture exists in the Barrio del Oeste neighborhood, where you can see garages and walls covered with urban art. Under the moonlight, the monuments are illuminated, and it's time to enjoy live concerts or have a drink at any of the city's bars.

Spain Westward ~ Salamanca (Region) The village's historical condition as a border fortress between Portugal and Castile (and later Spain) has given it its unique urban layout today. Its Old Town is designated as a cultural attraction. The enclosure, of medieval origin, was protected by castles and ramparts built in successive periods. Built of stone with square towers beside, the walls date back to the 13th century and surround a wide rampart. The castle dates back to the 15th century and the third fortification with bastion walls dates from the 17th century. Within the walls, it is worth noting the parish church (12th-13th centuries), of transitional Romanesque style (facade and bell tower), transformed in Gothic-Renaissance style (16th century), with three naves and a main nave. Highlights of its civil architecture are buildings such as the Town Hall (16th century) and the Alhóndiga, the former hospitals of Rocamadour and La Misericordia, and various noble houses with carved coats of arms (16th to 18th centuries), such as the houses known as Los Mayorazgos, El Corregidor and Los señores de Ron. #2024TravelReview #SpainTravel #Castile-León

Spain Westward Journey ~ Salamanca (Region) La Alberca is the first rural town in Spain to be declared a national historic monument. A tour of its historic center will reveal the traditional essence of the houses and streets built hundreds of years ago. The Plaza Mayor, with its square plan and surrounded by colonnades, remains the centre of the town's social life. The most representative religious building is the Asuncion Parish Church, built in the 18th century, which preserves a 16th-century granite pulpit, a magnificent gilded copper Gothic processional cross, and a statue of Juan de Jesus. #2024TravelReview #SpainTravel #Castile-León

It was a trip to Salamanca, Spain. This UNESCO World Heritage city is a perfect blend of old-world charm and vibrant student life, offering countless photo opportunities 📸 We started our adventure at the Plaza Mayor, the heart of the city. The baroque square is stunning at any time of day, but the real magic happens at sunset when the golden light reflects off the sandstone buildings ✨ It’s an ideal spot for wide-angle shots, capturing both the beauty of the architecture and the lively atmosphere. We arrived early in the morning to beat the crowds, allowing us to take some peaceful, early-morning photos before the hustle and bustle began 📸 📍Plaza Mayor, 37002 Salamanca, Spain We then visited the Universidad de Salamanca, one of Europe’s oldest universities. We were fascinated by the ornate architecture of Escuelas Mayores, particularly the intricate carvings above the main entrance. A highlight of our visit was hunting for the famous “frog on a skull,” hidden somewhere in the stonework. This quirky little detail makes for a fun and unique photo, especially with the historic façade in the background 😍 If you’re a fan of detailed architectural photography, this is a must-see 🙌 📍C. Libreros, 1, 37008 Salamanca, Spain One of the best spots for panoramic views of the city is the Catedral Vieja (Old Cathedral) ⛪️ The climb up the bell tower rewards you with sweeping views of the rooftops, the Tormes River, and beyond. We took a moment to capture the golden light over the city, which made the terracotta rooftops glow ✨ Inside, the cathedral itself is filled with history, and the detailed frescoes and stained-glass windows offered plenty of photo-worthy moments 📸 📍Plaza Mayor, 37008 Salamanca, Spain We also spent some time at the Convento de San Esteban, a peaceful and less-visited gem 💎 in the city.

We couldn’t resist photographing the beautifully intricate details of the church’s ⛪️ baroque altars and the ornate ceilings, which were both stunning and evocative 😍 📍Plaza del Convento, 37002 Salamanca, Spain We also made our way to the Calle Mayor, one of the main streets in Salamanca. The street itself is lined with impressive architecture, and the soft glow ✨ of the streetlights at night created the perfect setting for evening shots 📸 The city’s atmosphere changes with the setting sun, so I would highly recommend wandering through its charming streets during the golden hour to capture the city’s quieter side 🙌 📍Calle Mayor, 37001 Salamanca, Spain Salamanca is a city that offers so much for photographers, from its impressive historic buildings to its lively street scenes 🙌🙌🙌 #europetrip #travel #vacation

Salamanca is the oldest and most charming city on the Spanish Pilgrimage Route ~ Silver Route. Compared with other cities, Salamanca has relatively fewer tourists, and it is also a city worth visiting and enjoying slowly. 📍Salamanca School was first established in 1134, but was only officially granted university status by King Alfonso X in 1254. It is one of the oldest and most well-preserved schools in Spain What most tourists will visit is the famous Salamanca frog on the arch (it is said that as long as you find the frog on the arch, students will pass the exam smoothly✅) 📍If you want to visit the university, there will be dedicated service under the frog 🐸 arch to buy tickets 🎫. If there are multiple people buying, there will also be group tickets ~ awesome 👍 (Personally, I feel that there are few things to visit inside, but every design in the university still retains the most perfect appearance. It is hard to imagine that this university was established in 1134, and the appearance of the buildings is still intact. It is very The feeling of the era, as if you are in it) Salamanca~There are also a lot of frog-related pendants, dolls, clothes, etc. sold throughout the city~Every frog has its own characteristics. 📍Personally, I think Salamanca is a golden city⋯⋯It is also a city worth slowly appreciating and visiting ~ I recommend it to you❤️

Quick escape for the busy weeks. Travel and exploring is my hobbies. Happy to know some areas in Spain, Salamanca is one of those places that have beautiful attractions and beautiful churches. Old but unique😊 and nice people too. #church #salamanca #spain

The location is excellent, and it takes no more than ten minutes to walk from every place to visit. The decoration of the hotel is elegant and comfortable, not luxurious and pompous, but everything is very tasteful and carefully arranged. The service is super good. They will take the initiative to help us take our luggage to the room and patiently explain the routes and content of each scenic spot to visit on the map. The welcome gifts in the room include iced wine and snacks, as well as handwritten welcome cards, which are very thoughtful. After checking in at noon, we put our luggage and went out to play. When we came back, we found that they were very considerate to put water and water cups, chocolate, and a very cute weather forecast card at the head of the room. #100WaysOfTravel

#summerdestinations Salamanca, Spain, was the perfect city break! 🏛️ Stepping into the city felt like stepping back in time. The Plaza Mayor is stunning, especially at night when it's all lit up and buzzing with energy. I sat at one of the outdoor cafes, sipping a café con leche while people-watching. ☕ The architecture around the square is breathtaking, with intricate details that tell stories from centuries ago. I could’ve stayed there forever just soaking up the atmosphere. The highlight of my visit was definitely the University of Salamanca, one of the oldest in the world! 🎓 Walking through its ancient courtyards and admiring the iconic facade, I felt a deep sense of history. The famous frog hidden in the carvings was tricky to find, but spotting it is supposed to bring good luck! 🐸 For only 10 EUR, the entrance fee to the university was worth every cent. Inside, the library with its ancient manuscripts was like a scene from a movie. I also visited the magnificent Salamanca Cathedral.

#summerdestinations Visiting the Salamanca Cathedral was like stepping into a time machine! 🕰️ Located in the heart of Salamanca, Spain, this stunning cathedral is actually two-in-one: the Old Cathedral, which dates back to the 12th century, and the New Cathedral, built between the 16th and 18th centuries. The combined entrance fee was just €5, a steal for the beauty and history you get to experience. As soon as I walked in, the intricate architecture and awe-inspiring ceilings took my breath away. 🏰 The old part of the cathedral has a more Romanesque style, with charming, rustic details and an intimate feel. My favorite part was climbing up the towers – the views over the city of Salamanca were incredible, with terracotta roofs stretching out as far as the eye could see. 🌇 In the New Cathedral, the Gothic and Baroque styles blend together beautifully. I spent ages admiring the ornate carvings, especially the famous astronaut figure hidden on the façade – a quirky little detail that’s become quite the attraction! 🚀 After exploring inside, I wandered around the Plaza Mayor, just a short walk away, and enjoyed some tapas at one of the many outdoor cafes. It’s the perfect spot to soak in the lively atmosphere of Salamanca. I can’t recommend a visit to the Salamanca Cathedral enough, whether you're a history buff, architecture enthusiast, or just looking for a peaceful spot to marvel at Spain's rich heritage. #trip #SalamancaCathedral #HistoricBeauty #ArchitecturalWonders #SpainTravel #HiddenAstronaut

Salamanca's most famous Plaza Mayor, the most magnificent and largest square in Spain, is one of the Baroque-style city and peninsula buildings. Unamuno called it the "heart full of sunshine and air." It is the nerve center of the entire city. All the main streets and traffic arteries of Salamanca converge here. Very lucky to see the spectacular large halo phenomenon~ Sitting here basking in the sun, there are all kinds of shops from coffee☕️ drinks to tapas~ or even a special meal can satisfy! Watching the diverse crowds in the square, a full sense of relaxation! Give me some time, I can daydream here all day long!

Located in western Spain, it is the capital of the province of Salamanca and belongs to the autonomous community of Castilla y Leon. 👣 It is also the first stop of this trip to Spain ^_^ Stayed for two nights at Hotel Ikonik Plaza Mercado, nestled in the gentle embrace of the old town, right next to one of the oldest universities in Europe, the University of Salamanca, and the Plaza Mayor. I love this wooden window door, and from the balcony outside, you can feel the charm of the old town. Most of Salamanca's buildings were constructed in the nineteenth century by the Marquis of Salamanca, and it has now become one of the most luxurious neighborhoods in Europe, a symbol of elegance and charm. Tasted local red wine at Restaurant Portal del Lino to start the first meal in Spain~~ After dinner, strolled through the famous Plaza Mayor, where sunlight filtered through the gaps in the ancient buildings, casting dappled shadows. The sunset at dusk seemed to soften time itself. 🏰 It gets even more lively after nightfall! The immersive performances of street artists, and almost every shop is full of people. Their relaxation and laughter are the most beautiful background music of this city. And those weathered churches and university buildings quietly tell stories of a thousand years, making people stop and capture this immortal beauty with their cameras.

Gran Vía Salamantina 37001 Salamanca, Salamanca On June 29, 1986, the Salamanca Chamber of Commerce and Industry celebrated its centenary by organizing a competition in honor of this businessman.
