The starting point

This route turns aroundRoman, medieval and reconstructed. Stops are grouped by area so that travel time does not take up the day.

Planning per day and part of the day

Walk of 3–4 kilometers

  1. Plaça Nova
  2. cathedral cloister
  3. Plaça del Rei
  4. Call
  5. Plaça Sant Jaume
  6. old port

Alternative in case of rain

In rain, make a shorter loop between Plaça Nova, the cathedral area and Plaça Sant Jaume. If you want to visit MUHBA, check current admission and allow time for it. The museum replaces part of the walk; it is not an extra stop to squeeze into the same schedule.

This way you make the route shorter

Finish at Plaça Sant Jaume and leave out the harbour loop. This keeps the historic core together. Choose one square to spend longer in instead of making every stop equally brief.
