- TeeleTallinn, Estonia864 contributionsReally beautifulI definitely recommend visiting, it looks much more awesome and powerful than the picture. You can leave your car in the large free parking lot and then follow the signs to walk about 400m to the aqueduct. It is possible to walk around, under and on top of the aqueduct. I recommend wearing closed shoes.Visited October 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 28 October 2023
- John WDouglas, United Kingdom2,296 contributionsSecond attempt due to the TA algorithm refusing my firstLarge, 3 level, Roman acqueduct. Served the city of Tarraco, capital of Roman Iberia. You can access an aire with parking and a viewing platform for photos off the AP7. Normally you can go down a path on foot to see from below, but the path was closed for repairs. I think that was the bit the TA computer didn’t likeVisited January 2024Travelled with friendsWritten 29 January 2024
- HT01Lightwater, United Kingdom184 contributionsGreat Viaduct, but off piste!A fantastic piece of historical architecture. Just surprised it is not properly marketed and that access (especially getting back to town) is so poor. We crossed the viaduct thinking we could get out but thus was not possible. So was getting an Uber ti pick us up. If you go off the main paths it's quite treacherous.Visited June 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 6 June 2024
- Exploration316060New Orleans, Louisiana2 contributionsPerfect 2-3 hours sightseeing experience.Perfect weather day, clear and mild . Easy walk to roundabout from AC Hotel , took #5 bus for 1.60 Euros and took same bus back right at same bus stop. Is a great sight to see aqua bridge built by the Romans around 200BC , do some light hiking around the park , saw locals riding their mountain bikes. Encounter many nice friendly people but got picked pocket by a nice couple, did not notice until I was back at hotel. So just be aware and enjoy!Visited June 2024Travelled soloWritten 12 June 2024
- JJSH36 contributionsFantastic Roman AquaductWe took the no. 5 bus from Tarragona to the El Pont del Diable stop, and then a short walk to the aqueduct in its natural setting. We walked across it and then down under it to return to the same bus stop where we took the same line (which runs on a circular route) back to Tarragona. An excellent experience which we enjoyed more than seeing these ones in Pont du Gard and Segovia.Visited August 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 26 August 2024
- jimles7Princeton, Kentucky957 contributionsCool aqueductThis impressive aqueduct made 2,000 years ago by the Romans is just a short drive outside of Tarragona. Go visit and see how exquisite engineering can stand the test of time. Water was much harder to get back then.Visited August 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 2 September 2024

I don't understand where the reviews about bad findability come from, because it's super easy to find. You arrive at a free parking place from where you reach the aqueduct in a 5-minute walk. It is a beautiful Roman aqueduct which is worth a visit. There are different view points and you can cross the aqueduct to the other side. In addition, you can also enjoy hiking in the woods in the surrounding area.

This was my second visit to the aqueduct & I was looking forward to sharing it with my group of extended family. I set up a guided tour 2 months ahead of time with the official guide service, only to have them be a no-show on the day/time agreed for the tour. I called the tour operator who said I was supposed to remind him via email. Anyway, we still walked the aqueduct & it’s worth a trip, even without a guided tour.

We were staying in Tarragona and took a taxi to the aqueduct. We walked about in the woods, crossed the aqueduct and stopped at the cafe in the Casa del Guarda (white stone structure between the aqueduct and the parking lot. The remaining aqueduct is maybe 300 meters long but you can walk across the top where the water flowed. My wife and I then decided to walk back to Tarragona. The hike is pretty easy (runs along the Diable river so it is very flat. The hard part is 1) finding the starting point (first trail on right as you enter from the parking lot through a culvert with low overhead (5 feet 6 inches?); and 2) stay on the aqueduct side of the river. If you do it right, you will exit onto Avenida de Ramon y Cajal (there is a Vienna cafe there. Use it as a navigation point). If you cross the river, you will realize there is not point to exit. The trail goes into the port which is fenced off. You can get onto the Av. de R y C from that side but it is a bit of climb up a weed cover hill. It is an hour on the trail and then another 30 minutes to the end of the New Rambla. In theory, you could do the opposite but the trail seemed to be taking in a lot of offshoots. Going to town, the trail was self explanatory. Not sure about that going the other way. (Give yourself 3-4 hours from getting dropped off at the aqueduct)

What an amazing thing to find beside a Spanish motorway!
So high, so complete and you can walk across the top if you're brave!
However - there is nothing else there - just some hard to walk on terrain and lots of undergrowth. Not suitable for any accessible needs and frankly they could do so much more with it. We have been to the aqueduct at Nimes in France and the Tarragons could learn a few things from them!
Still, there is a free car and no other charges and its a 12 euro taxi ride from the city centre. Well worth the trip, just enjoy the architecture and Roman engineering

Pop yourself in the free carpark but then head straight up through the gates (and not left like us muppets) for about 200 metres.
The area itself is great for discovery but marvel at the beautiful aqueduct and the achievement in building this. What's more you can walk over it after all these years - wonderful.

The aqueduct is impressive in itself, but what surprised us was the extent of the grounds/park. You can easily spend the afternoon here, bring a snack or picnic lunch (only a bathroom, otherwise no amenities). Worth the 20 minute bus ride outside of town.

Just great. if you are interested in the traces of the Roman past, then you must have seen this building
Just great. And the park suburb is nice to explore. After sightseeing, you can get some rest in the relatively new cafe in the park.

There is a nice walk along the river to the aqueduct from central Tarragona. The walking paths (search on “Paths of Tarragona for a map) are indicated by yellow signs and paint stripes.
The aqueduct is about an hour’s walk along the river - and is well worth the effort (or taxi / bus ride).
Well preserved and part reconstructed, with the channels for water leading into the aqueduct still quite visible. Little signage or information. Wear walking shoes as paths are rough.

Nice aquaduct which you can still cross over the highest level. But car park should be guarded. We had our car window smashed and all luggage stole while we visited. Rather then putting a sign, a camera should be installed.

Si, hay un bus, pero no recuerdo el nĂşmero, que te deberĂa dejar cerca no en el mismo puente, pero dĂselo al conductor y no te alejes mucho d Ă©l, porque a nosotras nos dejĂł bastante lejos porque se le olvidĂł parar y eso que estábamos al lado suyo.

The trail to the site is partially paved So in a wheel chair getting to it yes. Getting up the hill to go across the monument cannot be done by a disabled person without someone to carry you up crutches are doable with a lot of effort but not a wheel chair.

Por la carretera de Lleida (N-240, direcciĂłn Valls), a escasos cinco minutos del centro de Tarragona, exactamente cuatro kilĂłmetros al norte, el desvĂo hacia el monumento romano está perfectamente señalizado y no tiene pĂ©rdida. TambiĂ©n es posible contemplarlo desde el área de descanso de la autopista AP-7 -direcciĂłn CastellĂłn- a la altura de Tarragona ciudad. Si se accede desde la N-240, es obligatorio dejar el coche en un aparcamiento habilitado para visitantes y acercarse a pie por un agradable entorno ajardinado que tambiĂ©n ha sido rehabilitado, incluida la casa del guarda.

I take it, it's not wheelchair accessible then?

There are so many magnificent examples of Roman ruins in Tarragona and aqueducts are found in many places. I only viewed the aqueduct from a distance. All the trips out into the countryside are great and Tarragona has so much to see.

How long is it and is it wide enough for a stroller to pass through?
Written 11 August 2015
About 250 m long. It's very narrow so don't count on it! Also to be noted: Especially the path at the north end will be difficult to climb with strollers! I would leave the strollers in the car or on the bottom of the valley (locked) for that time, even if I have carried several babies with strollers in VERY challenging places.
