| Your flight to Vigo takes
you to Galicia, in north-west Spain, dating back to pre-Roman times.
Climb O Castro watchtower for views across Vigo’s historic quarter, and
take in the Museum of Contemporary Art. Step back in time at the Quiñones de León (Vigo Municipal Museum) to discover Galician art, archaeology and history. Mix with the locals of Vigo in the bars of bustling Samil Beach or the calle Churruca zone in the city centre. Away from the crowds, cycle through the forests of Monte dos Pozos overlooking the ría (inlet) or visit the big cats and wolves in the A Madroa Hill Zoo (11km from Vigo). Or visit the pilgrimage city of Santiago de Compostela and the Portuguese city of Porto (both around 100km away from Vigo). Locals in Vigo love their fresh fish and seafood but there are also plenty of red-meat dishes and other local products. Try fish caldeirada (stew), pulpo á feira (octopus, paprika and olive oil) and filloas (pancakes). Sample a bottle or two of the white wines from the Rias Baixas, including O Rosal, Condado and Albariño. |

Vigo is easily accessible thanks to a complete
network of infrastructure linking the city to the main centres of
population in Galician and the Iberian Peninsula, and even abroad. Its
Atlantic port, airport, motorways, dual carriageways and
railway provide a range of transportation to suit all tastes and
possibilities.
By road: Vigo has three main access roads. The Northwest
dual carriageway links the city to Madrid, 667 kilometres away. The
Rías Baixas dual carriageway runs from Vigo to the North of
Portugal, passing through Tui, Braga, Porto, thereafter linking with
Lisbon and Portugal’s network of motorways. Finally, the Atlantic
Motorway links the city with the north of Galicia, passing through
Pontevedra, Santiago and A Coruña.
By bus: the bus station is located in Avenida de Madrid. The
main connections link with Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao-San
Sebastian-Irún, Asturias-Cantabria, Porto-Lisbon and Vitoria-Pamplona.
There are also international routes to Belgium, Germany, England and
France.
By train: the train station is located in the city centre, in
the Casablanca neighbourhood. Apart from linking with nearby cities
(several daily connections with Ourense, Pontevedra, Santiago, A Coruña
and Porto), there are daily express and "Talgo" trains to Madrid and
Barcelona, and direct trains to León, Irún and Ponferrada.
By boat: each year the port of Vigo receives thousands
of cruise passengers and the creation of a direct ferry service with
France and United Kingdom is being studied. In relation to domestic
crossings, from June 17th to September 17th, and more so at Easter,
there are daily routes to the Cíes Islands and excursions around the
ria. The tickets can be bought in the ria’s Maritime Station, opposite
the Bahía Hotel.
By plane: Peinador Airport is 10 kilometres from the
city centre. It has a wide range of scheduled flights to Madrid,
Barcelona, Bilbao, Valladolid, Paris and Frankfurt, as well as charter
flights.
