Vitoria-Gasteiz

Vitoria-Gasteiz has an exceptionally well-preserved medieval quarter, which rises above the city, revealing its true character, that of a place to be enjoyed unhurriedly. Nature is part of everyday life here, thanks to the city’s many parks and the Green Ring, a natural pathway that surrounds the city and can be followed on foot or on bicycle. Tradition is still very much alive in its markets and meeting places, and also in its folk festivals, reflecting a neighbourly and welcoming way of approaching life.

From the Plaza de la Virgen Blanca to the elegant 19th-century Ensanche district, the city invites you to stroll through its pedestrian streets, enjoy its outdoor cafés and discover its rich historical, art and cultural heritage. Its busy events programme and its proximity to Rioja Alavesa, with its vineyard landscapes and renowned winemaking tradition, round off an experience that combines heritage, sustainability and gastronomy.
