The heart of Tarragona beats in the very place where it was born over 2,000 years ago. Strolling through its historic center is like walking through a stage where past and present intertwine: beneath your feet, the traces of Roman architecture still whisper stories of emperors and gladiators; around you, narrow medieval streets invite you to lose yourself among charming corners; and above all, the majestic 14th-century Cathedral crowns the city with its imposing beauty. A unique experience that blends history, art, and Mediterranean life — perfect for those who wish to discover the true essence of Tarragona and fall in love with its eternal charm.

One of the best-preserved Roman circuses in the world awaits to transport you back two thousand years, to a time when the roar of the crowd filled the 325-meter-long stands and over 25,000 spectators thrilled at every race. Walk through the same underground galleries and passageways once used by powerful chariots and drivers, and feel the adrenaline and grandeur of the Roman Empire’s most exciting spectacle. A unique experience to relive the history of Tarragona — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — and to discover the living soul of ancient Tarraco.

Its streets are home to one of the best-preserved Roman archaeological complexes in Spain, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000.

Once in the heart of the city, we’ll begin a walking tour through Roman Tarragona, where every stone tells a story. Stroll along the ancient walls that once defended the city, explore one of the best-preserved Roman circuses in the Western world, and discover how the Roman Forum still coexists today with Tarragona’s medieval lanes and modern charm.
The journey culminates at the Roman Amphitheatre, an awe-inspiring site set dramatically by the sea, where gladiators once battled to the roar of the crowd and the rhythm of the Mediterranean waves. To complete this unforgettable experience, you’ll visit the Balcony of the Mediterranean, a panoramic viewpoint offering the most beautiful views over Tarragona’s golden coastline — an eternal landscape where history, sea, and emotion come together in perfect harmony.
