It's the best way to start if you're going without a guide, because there you'll learn about its history and the characteristics of its construction.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Walk along the Wall by its walkway. The total perimeter is just over 2 km.<\/li>\n<li>Visit the Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, next to the Puerta de Santiago of the Wall, which is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Take a walk through the city within the walls. It's always advisable to join a guided tour in a city with so much history. Don't miss: the Puerta Mi\u00f1a, the San Pedro and Falsa gates, the Church of San Froil\u00e1n, the Town Hall, the Convent of Santo Domingo&#8230;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"2 days in Lugo\" height=\"467\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"(max-width: 639px) 100vw, 639px\" src=\"https:\/\/galiciaoriginal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lugo-catedral.jpeg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/galiciaoriginal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lugo-catedral.jpeg 639w, https:\/\/galiciaoriginal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lugo-catedral-300x219.jpeg 300w\" width=\"639\"\/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>stroll through the Plaza Mayor, and grab something to drink at the historic Caf\u00e9 del Centro, or at one of the terraces in the Plaza.<\/li>\n<li>If you're in the mood for art, just across the square is the C\u00edrculo de las Artes (free entrance).<\/li>\n<li>Don't forget to take a walk also along the outside of the wall.

Both spaces are located within the city walls.<\/li>\n<li>Visit the ancient baths, on the left bank of the Mi\u00f1o river.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Take a pleasant walk between the Roman Bridge (reconstructed) and the San L\u00e1zaro Walkway. The bridge was part of the XIX road, which connected Lucus Augusti with Bracara Augusta (now Braga, Portugal).<\/li>\n<li>In the afternoon, visit Santa Eulalia de B\u00f3veda, a late Roman treasure just 20 minutes by car (it is advisable to go with a guide).<\/li>\n<li>In the same village, a walking circular route begins (about 5 km approx.).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What to eat<\/h3>\n<p>Lugo is a gastronomic paradise. Not only for the quality but also for the generosity of its dishes. In the wine bars, they offer free tapas to choose from. It is almost a must to try the cheese from Cebreiro and San Sim\u00f3n, both with D.O. If you choose to eat from a plate, I would recommend a veal dish: steak or chop accompanied by greens or chestnut puree. If it's cold, a good Galician stew is a memorable dish to end these 2 days in Lugo.<\/p>\n<p>To drink, Ribeira Sacra, and for dessert: cheese with honey or some chestnut cake.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"eat in Lugo\" height=\"640\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" src=\"https:\/\/galiciaoriginal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lugo-callecita.jpeg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/galiciaoriginal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lugo-callecita.jpeg 480w, https:\/\/galiciaoriginal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lugo-callecita-225x300.jpeg 225w\" width=\"480\"\/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"things to see\" height=\"640\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" src=\"https:\/\/galiciaoriginal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lugo-luminaria.jpeg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/galiciaoriginal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lugo-luminaria.jpeg 480w, https:\/\/galiciaoriginal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lugo-luminaria-225x300.jpeg 225w\" width=\"480\"\/><\/p>\n<h3>Practical information<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>the most convenient thing is to leave the car in some parking intramuros. Finding free parking in the surroundings may require climbing steep hills.<\/li>\n<li>the Bus Station is located right in front of the Wall.<\/li>\n<li>the Train Station is a bit far away, and uphill towards the city intramuros.<\/li>\n<li>both the visit to the Wall and the Cathedral are (for now) free. Don't miss them!<\/li>\n<li>you will find restrooms in the Market or in the nearby Bus Station.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>The best experience<\/h3>\n<p>\t\t<iframe title=\"&quot;Take a stroll through Lugo&quot; Promotional video by the Lugo Tourism Department\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/f_pNdTuckNY?feature=oembed\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u00abWalk the complete round promenade.
