Vigo Essentials

Vigo serves as the primary Atlantic gateway to Galicia, defined by its maritime history as Europe’s largest fishing port. This selection spans the city's evolution, from the 17th-century fortifications of Castro and San Sebastian to contemporary art housed in a former prison. Historic sites like the neoclassical Concatedral de Santa María stand alongside modern landmarks like the Sireno sculpture. The list includes the coastal district of Bouzas, the Museum of the Sea, and the white sands of the Cíes Islands.
