Experiences in nature - Tourism in Vitoria-Gasteiz
The enclave and the location of Vitoria-Gasteiz, thanks to its colourful environment, make the Basque capital an environmental island, something which enables it to offer many activities and experiences surrounded by nature. One of its main attractions is that Vitoria-Gasteiz is a city that is predominantly green, far from the grey industrial cities of the last century.
Birding – Watching birds
We have different types of birds that share our parks in the city of Vitoria-Gasteiz. Also, in the province, thanks to its strategic geographical location and its different wetlands, there are six excellent areas for bird watching.
Trekking
The over ten million square metres of urban parks, areas and green routes make Vitoria-Gasteiz an ideal space for people who enjoy trekking.

Cycling routes
Thanks to the fact that this is a flat area with a wide range of cyclo-tourism itineraries, a short ride from the city takes you to green spaces with a great deal of diversity.
