Most travellers give Zaragoza a few hours between Madrid and Barcelona. These guides make the case for staying longer: how to work the El Tubo tapas lanes like a local, which Roman sites under the old town to see first, where children cool off on a hot afternoon and which castle or Mudéjar town to reach by train or bus. Every place comes with a short reason to go, the area and one useful tip, and the guides open in your browser as soon as you pay.

The six Zaragoza guides
Food guide

The Pilar and La Seo without the rush, the Roman city beneath the streets, the Aljafería palace, Goya, museums that cost nothing and the parks along the Ebro.
Family guide

Large parks with duck ponds and small trains, Europe’s biggest river aquarium, a fire museum where children climb onto the engines and churros to finish the day.
Nightlife guide

El Tubo bar by bar, vermouth and cocktail spots, rooms with live music, clubs that close at dawn and somewhere to eat at 1 am.
Day trips guide

Three places from the guides
El Lince
Plaza de Santa Marta, near La Seo
A small bar that says it created the guardia civil, a spicy sardine with tomato and red pepper on thin crisp bread. Add sheep’s cheese in olive oil and take a table outside on one of the old town’s loveliest little squares. From the food guide.
Palacio de la Aljafería
Calle de los Diputados, west of the centre
An 11th-century Islamic palace, the finest outside Andalucía, with interlaced arches around a courtyard, a tiny mosque and a carved gilt ceiling upstairs. It also houses the Aragón parliament, so expect a security check and book a timed slot at weekends. From the things to do guide.
Castillo de Loarre
Loarre, north-east of Zaragoza, train to Ayerbe then taxi
An 11th-century Romanesque fortress on a crag above the Hoya de Huesca plain, among the best preserved in Europe. Film fans may recognise it from Kingdom of Heaven. From the day trips guide.
Play the game, then let the guides lead
World City Trail’s Zaragoza scavenger hunt, escape game and audio tour lead you through the historic centre. Afterwards the guides take over: a round of tapas in El Tubo, a free museum for the hottest hours, a riverside park at sunset or a train to a castle town the next morning.
