If you only have one day and one night to explore Zaragoza, don’t worry. This itinerary will help you make the most of your time, visiting the city’s highlights and soaking in its unique atmosphere. Starting from Hostal Plaza Boutique, a stylish hostel in the city centre of Zaragoza, perfectly located on Plaza del Pilar, this route will give you an authentic taste of the city.

Morning: begin in Zaragoza’s historic core

Start your day in Plaza del Pilar, the heart of Zaragoza and the perfect place to begin your visit. Just steps from your hostel in Zaragoza, you’ll find the city’s most iconic landmarks.

Visit the Basilica del Pilar, one of Spain’s most important baroque churches. Climb one of its towers for panoramic views over the Ebro River and the historic district.

Next, explore La Seo Cathedral, a mix of Romanesque, Gothic, Mudéjar and Baroque styles. This UNESCO World Heritage Site reflects Zaragoza’s rich multicultural heritage.

Wander along calle Alfonso I, a pedestrian street filled with charm, shops and cafés. From there, you can venture into the old town, where highlights like the Roman Forum Museum and the Goya Museum await.

Midday: local flavours in El Tubo

No visit to Zaragoza is complete without tasting its cuisine. Just a short walk from Hostal Plaza Boutique, the lively El Tubo district is perfect for a midday break.

Enjoy traditional Aragonese tapas like ternasco (roast lamb), migas and jamón de Teruel, all paired with a local wine or vermouth. El Tubo offers an authentic slice of Zaragoza life, full of energy and flavour.

Afternoon: art, history and nature

In the afternoon, head to the Aljafería Palace, one of the most significant Islamic monuments in Spain. Once home to Muslim kings and later the Catholic Monarchs, it’s now the seat of the Aragonese Parliament.

For a more relaxed option, stroll along the Ebro riverbank or visit parque grande José Antonio Labordeta, Zaragoza’s largest park, ideal for a quiet walk or bike ride among sculptures and fountains.

Sunset: scenic views and local vibes

One of the best places to watch the sunset is from the stone bridge, where you’ll catch the sun dipping behind the towers of the basilica, mirrored in the river below.

Nearby terraces offer the perfect spot for a drink before dinner, surrounded by the golden glow of Zaragoza’s skyline.
