About Zaragoza

An often-underrated destination, Zaragoza is Spain's fifth-largest city. Set on the banks of the Ebro River in lovely Aragón, it’s a fascinating historic hub with a buzzy foodie scene. Well-placed for stopovers between Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao and Toulouse, this gorgeous city is home to a great selection of accommodation options. Whether you’re dreaming of a romantic getaway or a fun-filled holiday with friends, our pick of the best places to stay in Zaragoza has something for everyone.

The city’s most famous landmark is undoubtedly the multi-domed Basílica de Nuestra Señora del Pilar, which has attracted pilgrims for centuries — not to be missed! Amble around the city to discover the striking Aljaferia Palace, La Seo del Salvador and streets lined with beautiful townhouses. Zaragoza played host to the World Expo in 2008, and the largest freshwater aquarium in Europe was built for the event — it’s now a wonderful choice for a family day out. The city’s other claim to fame is its connection to the iconic painter Francisco de Goya, whose paintings are exhibited at the excellent Museum of Goya.

Come evening, join local residents in the city’s multitude of hip tapas bars, and take a stroll along the banks of the Ebro River to see the Basilica lit up against the night sky. Return to your room at one of the best places to stay in Zaragoza ahead of another big day out!
