Huge Baroque Cathedral with beautiful decorations and art works. Inside you will see left from main altar Our Lady of pillar - statue of virgin Mary. Interesting are also 2 bombs which did not explode during civil war.

Beautiful and busy cathedral with a beautiful interior but for me it is the exterior that is more impressive. Set beside the Ebro river it is one of the most impressive cathedrals I have ever seen.

This place is rooted in the legend that the Virgin Mary appeared in Zaragoza around the year 40. According to the legend, the Virgin Mary appeared to the Apostle James the Greater while standing on a pillar. Historical records trace the origins of the sanctuary back to the 9th century. The current basilica was built in the Baroque architectural style between 1681 and 1730, led by Felipe Busiñac, Felipe Sánchez, and Francisco de Herrera el Mozo. It was later renovated between 1754 and 1765 under the guidance of Ventura Rodríguez, with further expansions completed by 1961. The basilica is characterized by its tall towers and domes, adorned with elegant decoration. Inside the domes, frescoes painted by several artists, including Goya, are particularly striking. Behind the Virgin's chapel, there is a space where visitors can kiss the pillar. Please note that only half of the interior is open depending on the time.

A Baroque church and one of the most important centres of pilgrimage of Christendom. It is also an artistic centre of prime importance with artwork of great value from several eras. The frescoes of the vault of the Coreto and the Regina Martyrum dome were paonted by Goya. No photos inside.

The Cathedral-Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar in Zaragoza, Spain, is a breathtaking marvel of Baroque architecture and a revered spiritual site.

The central focus of devotion is the revered statue of Our Lady of the Pillar, believed to be the first Marian apparition in history. Pilgrims and visitors alike are drawn to its spiritual significance and the sense of peace it imparts. The basilica's location on the vibrant Plaza de Nuestra Señora del Pilar further enhances its appeal, providing a picturesque setting for reflection and admiration. Overall, the Cathedral-Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar is a must-visit destination, offering an unforgettable blend of history, art, and spirituality.

Amazing cathedral, with so much to see. Visit to the museums and the tower is also recommended.

The architecture of the basilica is incredible, there are many details in the sculptures and entry is free

Interesting Muslim palace near the city center. This place is NOT free as it appears in Google maps listing, but has an expensive entrance ticket. The staff inside the palace is very rude. The are limited explanation tablets, with no English of course. The architecture and some ceilings are amazing. Also the Goya collection is worth seeing

Good value for price. Recommend the app guide that you can download via QR inside the premises. The VR feature some rooms have add a nice touch to help visualize how the place looked like in its day.

1st Sunday of the month it’s free. You need to wait in line and get ticket. 1st visits start at 10 am. palace is small but stunning, specially the orange garden.

Brilliant. Slightly disappointing when you discover the turrets have been rebuilt after them being removed in the 18th century and rebuilt in the late 1940s but still amazing mudejar architecture worth visiting. Really interesting app to download on-site as well.

Impressive Mudejar castle, now used as the seat of government for Aragon. Inside has many well preserved, intricate Mudejar decorative elements. Definitely worth a visit.

Beautiful palace with an exposition of Goya’s paintings. The place is not crowded with tourists so you can enjoy the place peacefully.

Impressive architecture . We were lucky to catch there Goya's paintings.

What a wonderful peaceful location. The falls are magnificent. Well worth a visit if in the area. The raptor show is also good.

You can spend 1-2 hours walking in the park itself. There are very big waterfalls, even one that lets you walk under it. Very nice and beautiful! Monastery is also pretty but small.

Very nice and definitely worthwhile a stop. Even the surroundings offers an incredible landscape

This place is very organised by showing arrows for you to walk through the whole park. The ticket counter also advised on the distance- total 6km and there's only 1 exit💪🏼 Enjoy a lot walking through the whole park. And it's really worth walking through this place especially during the hot weather 🙏🏼

Lovely place to visit and stay. Enjoyed the hike through the park, plenty of waterfalls to see. Appreciated the history of the hotel. Room was clean. Staff were friendly and helpful. Food was good. Overall I recommend staying at the hotel and visiting the park.

This is truly an oasis, the waterfalls were magnificent, with every turn we discovered more beautiful scenery under the lush green canopy of trees. The one way system enhances your visit enabling you to relax and enjoy the vista. Photos on entry were over priced and I would suggest if they were more reasonable you would sell more.

By far not a typical hotel. Converted monastery offering basic, clean rooms. No frills. It's the facility that you come for though. And I'm no fan of hotel restaurants, but the food here was good, and service was perfect. The place is huge. Found a bar at the end of the hotel, no hours posted, but if the bartender is there, excellent service. And, right next to the equally great park.

Fantastic place to visit. So many tapas bars, restaurants, bars. Great vibe at night. Great value . Couldn't believe how cheap it was.

Has to be visited. Typical tapas bar in the Zaragoza oldest part

Really busy place to be! Bars aplenty! The later the better!

Got here early, must places closed, lots of bars and tapas but must go after 7pm

Well worth a visit to this unique area

Great food and drinks

Ok

Iconic Cathedral in Spain. This qualifies probably in the top 5 sites in Spain (with Mesquita, Alhambra, la Giralda & Prado). Passing through Spain you ahave to STOP here. We really enjoyed both the inside and outside part. Obviously as this is Spain it can get really hot in summer.

Stunning cathedral and chappels. Includes a tapestry museum that is awesome too

Beautiful church with Gothic and Renaissance construction. You need to buy a ticket to enter. If you get the audio tour, you might want to skip the audio for most of the chapels unless you really want the details about each chapel's construction, artists, and featured saints. Save your time to play audio for the museum of Flemish tapestries upstairs.

Really worth seeing! More impressive than Sagrada Familia. I recommend the €10 ticket that you can buy here which allows you entrance to 4 other places. Really worth it! Be mindful of siesta time. They close 14:30-16:00 The downside of this cathedral is that they don’t allow photos inside. My opinion is that such a beautiful cathedral in a quiet town of Zaragoza Spain should be photographed and shared with other people so they can also enjoy the magnificence of this place. The staffs here are not so clear though when explaining the schedule and procedure on how to access all these places

Don’t miss this one! If you visited Pilar, don’t give this a miss. I think this one with its ornate chapels is worth visiting more than Pilar.

Unbelievably beautiful church with a surrounding of 'mausoleums' to various people. Ive seen quite a few churches and cathedrals and this particular church has to be one of the most unique ones if ever seen. Definitely worth a visit if you are interested in churches and cathedrals.

If I could put 10 stars- I would! It is a highly impressive and awe-inspiring cathedral! Probably one of the best I’ve seen so far (and I have been to quite a few countries)! It looks nice from the outside, but when you step inside you immediately have a jaw-dropping effect! All the walls are lined with chapels each better than the other one as if you become an unwilling judge in centuries old competition… At the entrance (10 euros per person) you are given an audio guide that tells a lot about each part of the cathedral! The stories are very interesting. Each thing that you see is a masterpiece on its own: done by different architects/artists in different centuries and for different people! I personally would set aside about 1,5 hours to listen to the audio guide and to walk around admiring all the elaborate details! Truly a marvel worth visiting! It’s a pity that photos aren’t allowed. Check the schedule carefully as the cathedral is closed for 2 hours at lunch time

Very spacious and beautifully designed square for the public. It didn't feel crowded at all, and there was always an opportunity for photos. No photos are allowed inside the basilica or the cathedral. You can get a very good view of the buildings from the stone bridge. We captured a few nice photos when the sun was going down.

Plaza del Pilar is the largest pedestrian plaza in the European Union and the second largest on the continent only behind Red Square in Moscow. It is also called Plaza de las Catedrales (in English: Plaza of the Cathedrals), because it has the two cathedrals of Zaragoza: the Seo and the Pilar. It is the only one in Spain with two cathedrals in the same square.

Massive square in the most central spot of Zaragoza! The plaza of our lady of the pillar is in front of the cathedral with same name and has lots of space to walk and take pics, also there are many restaurants and cafes around the square and even under the square! There are stairs to go down. Recommend it!

It is the busiest central area in Zaragoza, located in front of the Basílica de Nuestra Señora del Pilar. Additionally, several historic buildings and important landmarks are situated around it. During the Fiestas del Pilar in October, various events and performances, including La Ofrenda de Flores, are held here.

The Plaza of Our Lady of the Pillar (Plaza de Nuestra Señora del Pilar) in Zaragoza, Spain, is a magnificent public square that stands as a testament to the city's rich cultural and religious heritage.

Dominating the plaza is the stunning Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar, an architectural masterpiece that is both awe-inspiring and spiritually significant. The basilica's grandeur, with its multiple domes and towering spires, creates a breathtaking skyline that is best appreciated from the plaza itself. The interior is equally impressive, adorned with exquisite frescoes by Francisco Goya and other renowned artists, as well as the revered statue of Our Lady of the Pillar. The plaza itself is a vibrant and lively space, surrounded by a harmonious blend of historical and modern architecture. It's a perfect place to soak in the local culture, with numerous cafes and restaurants offering delightful Spanish cuisine and the opportunity to relax and people-watch.

Make sure to catch the stunning views of the Ebro River and enjoy a leisurely stroll along its banks. A definite 5-star experience!

This beautiful public square is the place to see and be seen. It's perpendicular to Calle Alfonso I and flanked by three magnificent churches. On Sundays you can hardly move here as it's buzzing with people. Absolutely stunning place to visit.

Beware of the rude staff at the entrance! We were shocked how such an attitude is tolerated in a religious place like this! His face was extremely unpleasant. There was zero line and nobody at all at the entrance when we arrived so we went into the booth where we met the staff who was just immediately angry because we missed to see the information. He can, as any staff do, guide us and speak politely without a very unpleasant rude attitude so that we will understand the procedure. Besides, that is part of the job, guiding the visitors. Then when he brought us upstairs with the elevator he was extremely grumpy. I hope the management sees this review as such attitude is very improper. The view upstairs is definitely worth the visit. Beware of the steps that still have to be taken after the elevator. It is quite tiring. The viewing area is circular and very limited but luckily there were only 5 of us during our visit.

Ok view from the top, there is 2 levels the first the elevator goes to giving you outside views through a net. The 2nd level you climb stairs and the view is through glass so not good for photo taking. Probably worth doing if you get the pass.

Great views of the city and worth the €3 you pay. I had a hard time finding it. The guy in the church that works the room with the relics you have to pay to see was not the most helpful. I was told on the right. Well first of all, the big wooden doors were closed, and when I tried to push open seemed locked. There’s just one sign and then nothing. So to help you out, even though photos are not allowed in the church, I took some of only the sign and door. Winds were 26 mph today so I was scared! I swear the tower was moving! But it was worth it. The guy that takes your money and works the elevator may be up and you just wait for him to come down, pay him, and he takes you up. Then you can climb the stairs the rest of the way for the tip top view :)

In September 2024, the entrance fee is 5€. You go up the elevator and then climb the stairs to the top. The view is nice but there is nothing to do for more than 15 minutes. The best option is to buy tickets online, then you can choose the time of your visit.

4€ for a short visit to the tower to get a 360° view of the city.

Great experience: I really recommend to visit this place. The roofs of the cathedral look amazing! I have a fear of heights but I was able to do it

€3/4 euros to go up and see magnificent views of the city. You only get 15 minutes up there though.

The most famous street in zaragoza, restaurants around ans souveniers

Ok

(Translated by Google) After crossing the imposing Bridge Pavilion by Zaha Hadid, we find the most well-known and visited sculpture due to its location and characteristics: “The Soul of the Ebro” by Jaume Plensa. The piece is destined to be, with its 12 meters high and human shape with stainless steel letters, one of the emblems of Postexpo. The work represents a human being in an almost fetal position that “looks inward” inviting the viewer to reflect on themselves. Sculpture made from letters of the alphabet. White color. Made for the Zaragoza Water Expo. Located next to the Zaragoza Congress Palace. On Pablo Ruiz Picasso street. Very original.

Same as most homogenised shopping centres. Clean and tidy well kept.

Lots of available options to eat, from Spanish food, to Italian, Asian, and more.

Coming to La Tagliatella in Puerto Venecia is always a very pleasant eating experience. The food is always delicious and the service is attentive and friendly. Well done

I really loved the chill music they played on the speakers- it really lifts my energy and improves my day!

Amazing shopping center with every store that you may need. Big Parking lot with lot of mall entrances.

I like that they do everything for the convenience of people.

Super ok

Exceeded our expectations. One of the most amazing aquarium's I've ever been to. The diversity of species was phenomenal and the way you move through different regions of the world was fascinating.

Our first time in a river aquarium. A fascinating place, well designed wakways and very good explanations about the various exhibits. Especially suited for children.

Aquarium is huge and was not too crowded. Some surprising displays and a big variety of species. We found some discounted tickets online.

I feel that the Aquarium deserves and needs lots of improvements. For 17€ a person I wasn't 100% pleased. Edit: I felt that I didn't say anything positive in this review and that's not fair. The aquarium from the outside looks really nice and the surrounding area is really beautiful. The animals had lots of space and seemed that they are kept in really good conditions. Some of the things that needs improvement are: scratched (a lot) glass, broken pieces of wood/plastic, more texts and information (in English too).

Very intresting and nice place. I was suprised, how many strange and beautiful animals there were. Our 6 y. old daughter was very excited and enjoyed it. The place is just right, not too small, not too big. Worth to see it:)

Beautiful Aquarium with lots of different species of fish and reptile from all over the world. It is a treasure to enjoy if you love nature. Well maintained, healthy fish, some mammals and birds Perfect for adults and children. Love it!

This is an incredible aquarium, focussing on freshwater river fish from different countries. Spacious and a joy to walk around. Highly recommend.

The museum, which opened in 2003, displays the remains of the ancient Roman theater along with various archaeological artifacts and models from that time. It offers a glimpse into the city of Caesaraugusta, an important city in the Hispania Citerior Tarraconensis province of the Roman Empire. The history of the Roman theater dates back to the 1st century AD and is considered one of the largest in the province. The remains were discovered in 1972, thanks to a neighbor who alerted the local newspaper about the archaeological site during construction.

A really beautifully presented site with a lot of thought put into the visitor experience and journey. The site has been well conserved for future generations, so hopefully, it will be here for a long time to come.

Totally recommend to buy the whole package. You will get the chance to explore the old town by walking around the area, finding other museums. All museums are well presented

Very interesting presentation of the historical background of the city. Part of a 4 location museum for which tickets are discounted if you visit all 4.

So you've seen the cathedral, you've been overwhelmed with rennaisance art... but have you really dug into the earliest days of this incredible city? Well, buy the ticket and visit this incredible group of sites that make up Ceaseraugustus. The Teatro is on of 4 incentive sites that are a must see in the old town.

Of the four Caesaraugusta sites (the forum, the baths, the port and the theatre), the theatre is the best. Also the biggest site and most informative. Really interesting exhibition about the building of the theatre. A combined ticket costing €7 gets you into all four sites so is very good value.

The Romans were so influential in shaping the life across all of Europe. If ever in zaragoza you cannot fail to visit this museum. It is worth every second spent their.

Excellent collection of Goya prints. There is a very interesting biographical video that is shown in different languages and also a cartoon about Goya’s work for children. Adult ticket 8€

The museum is very interesting. I loved the small drawing of Goya reporting the political and social situation in Spain.

Interesting art collect of Goya and other artists. The tour can be done in one go, it takes about two hours if you spent time on each item. I’ve particularly enjoyed reviewing Goya drawings and their interpretation of symbols. I would have wanted to buy books from the gift shop, but unfortunately I couldn’t find any in English.

Absolutely perfect experience. I dreamed of seem some of my favorite works of Goya and had the opportunity to enjoy them here. I would recommend at least one or two hours to visit if you focus mainly on Goya's work, but even more if you wanna take some time to see carefully everything else.

Today, the museum was free A very nice selection of Goya prints as well as 20th century Spanish School artists I had never seen before. Quality work on the third level. Also see through floors!

I understand why some people feel a bit disappointed after visiting this museum “It’s a Goya Museum and they barely have any paintings from Goya” people say. And it’s fair, the name of the museum implies that there must be paintings of Goya all around, right? In reality, it’s a rather small, but well organised museum with a temporary exhibition where you can see modern artist from Spain and some small amount of Goya’s paintings The museum is dedicated to Goya, his artistic heritage - hence artists that got inspired by him and Spanish painters who worked with him There is a floor dedicated to Goya’s sketches where visitors can learn about dark motives that he was expressing there, real and mythical events that took place Overall, it’s a nice museum to visit, one of the most famous museums in Zaragoza, not the cheapest one tho, so if you’re short on money, you may come back later on

Immerse yourself in the stunning artistry of Goya at the Goya Museum, situated opposite the Santa Cruz Church in Zaragoza. An unmissable experience for art lovers!

Cozy cooling fountain, many locals bring their pets and children here. Nice view in the evening

A fascinating and unique monument in a lovely plaza adjacent to a magnificent Baroque cathedral. The monument's clever design illustrates the size and scope of the Spanish-speaking world in North and South America while also embodying the shared culture between Spain and its relatives across the Atlantic.

Fantastic fountain with the shape of south America.

At night, illuminated fountains located at the end of the main square. An ideal place for an evening photo session. During the day, the view is less spectacular, as there are no lights on, although its design fits into the entire architecture of the square.

In my humble opinion it only spoils the historic center of the town...

A wonderful monument and pleasant fountain with a dual purpose. The prevailing winds in the area blow across the expanse of flowing water and noticeably cool the Placa de Pilar on hot Spanish summer days.

A sad example of bad planning and very bad engineering. A blight on a beautiful location.

The hosts are quite nice! They welcomed me well and were willing to answer my questions. The room was good, it had a bed, a wardrobe, a table and chair and a bathroom. I only had a problem with the internet, it did not work well in any of my devices. I could not find a solution with the hosts, unfortunally this impacted my experience since I was having classes online. The light in the room could have been a bit brighter too.

Everything was good except for their soap and shampoo containers that were really hard to open when needed. The parking situation was not ideal.

A nice place to stay, close to the city centre. Friendly and helpful staff. Traditional 24 h. reception.

Clean, very well located, very friendly staff, very good value. No complaints at all.

Has free parking , heating in every room. Located close to all the main monuments of Zaragoza.

Lady at the reception was very nice, polite and friendly. Location is great

An excellent place to stay, well located close to the centre.
