Travel to the fascinating ancient Roman fortified city of Lugo and immerse yourself in its more than two thousand years of history. It's a drive of just over one hour from the pier in La Coruña. Lugo is located on the northwestern end of the Iberian Peninsula and is magnificently situated on a smooth promontory that overlooks the Miño River.
Arriving in the city, you'll first enjoy a brief panoramic drive around its impressive Roman wall -- a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This is the only Roman wall in the world to have kept its entire perimeter intact. It is more than a mile in length and features 85 imposing towers.
Leaving your coach behind, you will commence a comprehensive guided walking tour, just over two hours long. Part of your walking tour takes you along the pedestrian path atop the wall and offers a wonderful view of the Old Quarter. You will see some important Roman heritage sites, such as the archeological remains sheltered in the House of the Mosaics, the Provincial Museum, the Porta Miñá Museum, and the cathedral's exterior.
Next up is a leisurely lunch consisting of local favorites before you re-board your coach for the drive back to the pier in La Coruña.
Notes:
Tour requires more than two hours of moderate walking. Not advisable for guests using a wheelchair or for those with mobility limitations.
