Vigo Travel Guide

 AusPinay Says:  Another feature of the Spanish town planning is the many plazas where people congregate and hence, lots of shops around and other businesses. They also lead you around other streets of similar sights. This fortress city is unique for the streets alone are all made up of... 

 AusPinay Says:  The main feature that will distinguish Vigo from other places is its town layout which is always winding towards the water and consists of many series of stairs made of stone following the contours of the land! It is amazing! There are always lots of surprises that will... 

 AusPinay Says:  This is a big port, a vital part of Vigo's economy. It is huge, yet lucky for us we arrived on a Sunday morning and there were hardly any locals around. They must be in church or sleeping in!Just across the terminal area is a massive structure, a modern sculptural work of... 

 AusPinay Says:  This plaza which covers a good part at the right side of Vigo is filled with eye-catching features especially the soothing water fountains/ water features everywhere, the glorious flowering shrubs, the lush trees, especially the ficus and the many other varities and species... 

 AusPinay Says:  This monument is found in another leafy part of Vigo, just across the port on the right side. We chanced upon it towards the route we took going back to our ship as we started off to the left side then to the centre then ending near here!Mendez Nunez is a Spanish sailor and... 

 AusPinay Says:  We walked around Vigo from the port and it was a treat- there's always twists and turns and we were pleasantly surprised the whole time- one of the nicest areas is the location of Parque do Castro and its importance to this ancient city. Excitedly, we follow the Castro... 

 euskaldun Says:  Personally, I find Vigo a rather sprawling industrial city with little to offer in terms of tourist attractions. I would be bored if I had to stay there for twelve hours. On the other hand, your allocated time is way to short to enjoy an excursion without hassle. I would... 

 maykal Says:  Like many cities, Vigo has a lot of graffitti. I'm not normally one to go round a city taking photos of random scrawlings on walls, but when it brightens up a place, I sort of like it. Much of Vigo's graffitti includes a reference to Galiza, the local name for the region of... 

 maykal Says:  Praza de Compostela is an attractive park running a block in from the waterfront. On my visit, there was some sort of fair going on, with stalls selling galician specialities and bizarrely a Moroccan tea-tent. Unfortunately, most of the stalls were empty when I went, and it... 

 nhcram Says:  You either like these or you do not. I happen to love oysters and Vigo is just the place to have them.The old cobbled area of the town has many little restaurants serving oysters, mussels and lobster. We went for the oysters. Washed down with half a bottle of local wine and... 

 micas_pt Says:  The best way to know Vigo is to walk around the city. Vigo isn't too big so it won't be that exhausting and I surely won’t take too long. If you arrive by car, there is a public (paid) underground parking space where you can park safely your car in a neighborhood called... 

 Shabu Says:  The Cies Islands are a cluster of uninhibated islands that act as a barrier protecting the Ria from violent winds and turns it into a natural safe harbour. They are made up of three main islands; Monteaguda, Monte Faro, and San Martino, along with small islets such as... 

 micas_pt Says:  Vigo has the biggest fishing port of Spain (bathed by the Atlantic Ocean).When you visit the port area you notice that those are big, big infrastructures (and yes, you fell so small!!) and that, in fact, it must represent a major economic activity. As with any other fishing...
