Valladolid: History, wine and avant-garde at your feet

Essentials within your reach

Capital of the ancient kingdom, birthplace of kings and the setting for some of the most decisive episodes in Spanish history. Today, Valladolid combines its monumental legacy with an intense cultural life, unique green spaces and a gastronomic offering that has made it a national benchmark.

Staying at Anthology Hoteles is the first step to experiencing Valladolid like a true local.

Plaza Mayor

One of the first regular grand squares in Spain, and the inspiration for many others across the country. The social heart of the city: bright, elegant and full of life.

Valladolid Cathedral

The unfinished masterpiece designed to be the largest cathedral in Europe. Its imposing presence is a symbol of the city.

National Sculpture Museum

A unique gem in the world. A journey through centuries of polychrome art that moves even those who do not typically visit museums.

San Pablo, La Antigua and Campo Grande

The Gothic silhouette of La Antigua, the spectacular façade of San Pablo and the grand urban park of Campo Grande —with its free-roaming peacocks— are essential stops on any route.

Squares with soul

Valladolid is full of small squares that tell stories:

Plaza del Viejo Coso, a former bullring converted into one of the most picturesque corners of the city.

Plaza de San Pablo, featuring historic palaces where kings were born.

Plaza de la Universidad and Plaza de Portugalete, full of atmosphere at any hour.

Fuente Dorada, Plaza de España and Plaza del Milenio, essential places to understand life in Valladolid.

Tapas, wine and gastronomic experiences

Valladolid is the capital of wine and fine dining. Its five Designations of Origin (Ribera del Duero, Rueda, Toro, Cigales and Tierra de León) make it a perfect destination for wine tourism enthusiasts.

In its bars, you will find some of the most award-winning pinchos in Spain: winning lechazo (suckling lamb), sardine ceviche, squid sandwiches, the tigretostón…

A must-visit? The refurbished Mercado del Val, the epicentre of local flavours.

Nature a step away

The city is ideal for those who enjoy green spaces:

Pinar de Antequera, perfect for hiking or cycling.

Cerro de las Contiendas, for panoramic views and signposted routes.

Parque de las Norias and Campo Grande, oases within the city.

Canal de Castilla and Playa de las Moreras, ideal for switching off.

Guided tours and cultural experiences

If you are passionate about discovering the secrets of every destination, the guided and dramatised tours from the Tourist Office will show you a surprising side of Valladolid: stories of the court, legends, nocturnal routes and themed tours that will make you see the city through different eyes.
