Probably, when you hear "Zaragoza," the first thing that comes to mind is the famous Fiestas del Pilar. However, this vibrant Aragonese city is much more than that. Zaragoza combines centuries of history, impressive architecture, tapas and vermouth routes enjoyed at leisure, and a modern street art festival that reflects its creative spirit. All of this happens practically within a step from the center, making our hotel in Zaragoza city your perfect ally to explore every corner comfortably.
With over 2,000 years of history, Zaragoza preserves vestiges of its glorious Roman past, when it was known as Caesaraugusta. Each excavation underground reveals new stories from this era. Even its transportation system reflects this heritage: the tram runs through the city, as the abundance of archaeological remains prevented the construction of an underground metro. Additionally, Zaragoza experienced its splendor under Muslim rule, a historical chapter you can still discover by visiting the Aljafería Palace, seat of the Cortes of Aragon and a must-see for history lovers.
If you are looking for the crown jewel of Zaragoza, our hotel near the Basilica of the Pillar lets you walk there in just five minutes. The Plaza of Our Lady of the Pillar, which it shares with the Cathedral of the Savior — la Seo — is the historic heart of the city. To capture the most iconic snapshot of Zaragoza, with the Basilica of the Pillar and the Ebro River in all their splendor, simply look out from the Balcony of San Lázaro, at the end of the Stone Bridge, where the four bronze lions, the emblem of the city, also stand out.
