City of Culture of Galicia

The complex sits on a hill above the city, outside the old town. You can walk the open ground freely and see the buildings from outside. Guided visits need a booking and are given only in Spanish and Galician. It suits a dry day with time to spare.

What to look for

• The Gaiás Centre Museum
• The open ground and paths around the buildings
• The Library and Archive of Galicia
• Views over the city from the hill
