Excursion Scenic la coruna tour at La Coruna

Indulge your senses with the beauty of La Coruña during this half-day sightseeing excursion. This city, surrounded by the ocean, has been the point of departure for different peoples and cultures which for over 2,000 years have left their legacy of legends, myths and history in each corner of the town.

La Coruña Promenade and Castle of San Anton

Depart the pier for the scenic drive past the Gardens of Los Cantones and along the coastal promenade, the longest in Europe. La Coruña is also known as the 'Crystal City' due to its many houses with windows that reflect sunlight, and façades built by fishermen out of wood and glass. From here, your sightseeing drive passes by the Castle of San Anton. Built on an island, the castle originally served as a local fortress; today, it serves as the city's archaeological museum and is connected to the mainland by a stretch of road.

Tower of Hercules and Coastal Drive

Next, proceed to the Tower of Hercules, La Coruña's most important monument. This ancient, 180-foot-tall (55-metre-tall) beacon is the oldest Roman-built lighthouse in the world that is still used as a lighthouse. After a photo stop here, some free time is made available to stroll around the monument and park. Following your visit, re-board your coach for a panoramic drive past the Aquarium of La Coruña, Museum of Mankind and the millennium obelisk made of glass en route to Maria Pita Square.
