What travellers are saying
- Stephen MAlhama de Granada, Spain548 contributionsThis is one of the biggest and best plazas we have visited in Spain, and we have visited many. The restaurants are not overly expensive which is quite unusual, often the centre has the priciest places.Written 12 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- fssutton1Charleston, SC813 contributionsIf you are into clean European old towns and buildings then this is the place. WOW. If you come to Madrid I would recommend you do whatever you need to do car, bus, train, tour to get to this city. It is a wonder.Written 19 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

- DGSmanilaBangkok, Thailand356 contributionsThe whole Salamanca Cathedral with all the parts is just an amazing place to
visit. For me it maybe the highlight of the 2 weeks travel this time to Spain.
We visited late at night and the illumination and view were just splendid.Written 7 April 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - William Stu WEdmonton, Canada111 contributionsThe Lis collection is surprisingly good and this museum is an ideal size, taking about wo hours to view everything. Be sure to get to the cafe which has amazing views of the city.Written 20 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- fssutton1Charleston, SC813 contributionsFirst of all went on a Friday and it opens at 11. Cost about 6 each. Very nic, takes about an hour to visit. All of these churches have their unique features. This one uses a LOT of color.Written 20 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- CipsontheroadRome63 contributionsBy far the most interesting and particular historic site to visit!!!!
Incredible cloister, choir and unique staircase. Notice the chruch's altar piece columns that reproduce Bernini's baldachin at St. Peter's basilica in Rome.Written 1 April 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - alohatripperHonolulu, HI1,323 contributionsWhat makes this cathedral very different than others is the obscure, almost hidden, figure of a modern-day astronaut among the medieval motifs carved into the facade over the entry. Jorge, our guide, cleared up the mystery. It, as well as a modern-day bicycle, were added much later in 1992.
Too bad that the memory of that overshadows the esthetics of the cathedral, especially the interior.Written 12 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Lesley W2 contributionsAtmospheric painting on a domed ceiling in quiet, darkened room. We were the only visitors. It would have been helpful to have more information about the picture and a guide to all the figures depicted, but there was something magical about the experience.Written 29 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- humerous60Ilford, UK653 contributionsThe time we spent trying to find this frog basically it was wasted we could have been doing other things and yes you guessed we never found the frogWritten 12 September 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Kelly B.Salamanca, Spain32 contributionsIn this museum you'll find lots of old cars. We love cars and antiques one so we rally enjoyed this visit! Workers were very kind, and it's totally worth the money!
Psst, the entrance is free every first Tuesday of the month!
We'll visit again soon, surely!Written 28 October 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - RichardK938West Palm Beach, FL663 contributionsThe exterior of this building is covered in scallop shells. It's very unique and in a good location for a quick viewing on your way to the cathedral.Written 13 October 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- SarahGeneva, Switzerland136 contributionsPerfect end of the day visit.
The monastery is extremely peaceful - like an oasis in the hectic city life.
The light was ideal to admire the cloister and the garden.
After the visit bought some sweets from the nuns: delicious!Written 30 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Susan MSpain120 contributionsWell worth the climb to enjoy the great city views. There is a stop part way up providing a little history too.Written 6 June 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Terry MHamilton, Canada3,669 contributionsThe bridge dates from late first century CE. More than half of its arches are original. The importance of the bridge to the city is testified in the fact it has been part of the coat of arms of Salamanca since the 13th century.Written 9 November 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
