Guided Visits.
We propose to you three guided visits so you can get to know the city better:

From the Tourist Office.

The Tourist Office of Vitoria-Gasteiz organises a wide range of theme tours through the Medieval Culture and the Four Towers, as well as other guided visits of different kinds. There is also a guided visits service to the churches of San Miguel and San Pedro, the tower of San Vicente, the Palacio de Villasuso, the Palacio de Montehermoso and the Lanterns Museum.

You can obtain information by calling the free citizens information service 010 (if you are in this city) or by calling the Tourist Office: 945 16 15 98.

To the very heart of the Cathedral of Santa María.

“Open for restoration work” is the singular slogan of the guided visits to the restoration work on the Cathedral of Santa María. Visitors to the church are obliged to wear a protective helmet. This is an exceptional visit, which, with strict safety measures, allows visitors to gain first-hand knowledge of the restoration work. The quality of the Visitor Programme has obtained recognition in the form of the Tourism Prize (2000) granted by the Basque Government.

Visits can be arranged directly via the web site http://www.catedralvitoria.comby choosing one of the days available on the calendar and indicating the number of persons and the language in which visitors wish to receive the explanations.

The visitor permits may also be requested by telephone, at 945 25 51 35or by sending an e-mail to: visitas@catedralvitoria.com

You must be at the Visitor Reception Centre (on the Plaza de la Burullería) 10 minutes before the time set for the visit to begin.

By tourist train.

A ride on the 'Gasteiztxo' is a good way of seeing the design and urban layout of Vitoria-Gasteiz. The train leaves the Plaza de la Virgen Blanca and follows a route that takes about 40 minutes.

The train operates every day, but you should consult the departure times in the Tourist Office because this varies according to the time of year.
