Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This is the big deal in Lugo. It is the biggest plaza/square in Lugo. You can see the cathedral from here. The town hall is here. Yup. That is pretty much "it" and not exactly a reason to come here.

This large and impressive square is the focal point of activity within the walls of Lugo.
Lined with numerous bars, cafes and shops, the square is highlighted by the town hall and clock tower.

All of the coffee shops are staffed with people who don't care about you unless you are an old resident. Overpriced. But it is worth a visit for the architecture . The shops around the plaza are very nice and shop owners are very friendly . Definitely worth it.

You can say that the Plaza Mayor is the centre of life in the city of Lugo, located in the medieval space where the market was held during the sixteenth century; later on, new buildings were built and expanded the plaza. The most important building on this location is the Town Hall, the clock Tower, and some other interesting building, nice location to spend some time, we went in winter but can imagine what it would be in summer time.

I was fortunate to be able to work in Lugo albeit a short 6 months. Plaza Mayor was beautiful when the sun was shining and the quaint cafes and restaurants in the area made it even more special.
Loved the gas burners that were used in the outside seating areas which although looked amazing at night really had a purpose which was to keep you warm during the cold winter months.
Please be aware that many locals do not speak English so it can be difficult to communicate without a translator just download an easily available phone app to help you if you're one of the lazy travelers like me!
Also great place to practice your Spanish or learn it and safe for children and is relatively flat for more elderly travelers not wishing to climb mountains or stairs.
Enjoy the hamon and free tapas and experience you won't forget while enjoying the roija.

This was a beautiful sunny autumn day in Lugo, so maybe we saw the main square at its best, but this is a lovely open space in the centre of the old city inside the Roman walls. It has plenty of seating, a vivid red bandstand and, like so many Galician cities, a wide variety of architectural styles to see all around it, including an 18th century Town Hall and more modern 20th century buildings. There are great views of the towers of the Cathedral which is just off the Plaza. This is an important visitor location if you are coming to this part of Spain.

Walking through the old city, it is very difficult not to come across the Plaza Mayor. This seems to be a focal point with well kept borders, restaurants and plenty of people milling around in the evening sunshine.

We stopped for breakfast which overlooked this lovely square with its beautiful trees and planting; lots of locals sitting around passing the time on a sunny Sunday morning.
Very close to the wonderful walls and churches.
