Best things to do in Zaragoza

Zaragoza City Essentials

Zaragoza showcases a chronological journey from the 1st-century Roman Theatre and Caesar Augusta Forum to the Mudéjar-influenced La Seo Cathedral. The city’s landmark is the baroque Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar, situated on the vast Plaza del Pilar alongside the Renaissance Lonja and the 15th-century Stone Bridge. Art enthusiasts can study Goya’s works at the Ibercaja Museum, while the Expo 2008 site offers contemporary architecture and Europe’s largest river aquarium. For local gastronomy, the historic alleys of El Tubo serve as the city’s primary hub for traditional Aragonese tapas.
