A Self-Guided Walking Tour of Salamanca
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
On this self-guided walking tour, you will enjoy highlights and humor in the university city of Salamanca—from a guide who has never left. Salamanca may be small, but Spain’s oldest university city has a long history. On this walking tour, Martoke will show you the tiny city’s highlights and share some of its quirky – and often humorous – stories.
I’ll share a few famous anecdotes about the square on this tour, including its bullfighting past. At Palacio de Monterrey (Monterrey’s Palace), I’ll explain how its symmetrical features make it a fine example of Renaissance architecture. When you reach Salamanca Cathedral, you’ll hear astonishing tales of what PhD candidates went through in the early 1300s. At the Convent of San Esteban, you’ll find out how the current Gregorian Calendar foundations were laid right here.
Salamanca may be a small city, but you can’t imagine the history it can tell! Join me, and we’ll discover it together.

4.00Good guide and interesting. Much easier to find your way around than others I’ve used. Took a bit of time to work out how to stop and start but it’s possible.
engaging and convenient

5.00I liked the anecdotes about historical characters. This audio tour can start and stop at will. We were able to do part of it yesterday and continue today. The map with the visual of the stop is also very helpful. Wish more tours were like this.
Great experience at your own pace but with in depth historical backgrounds that normal tour guides can’t provide.

5.00An excellent way to see parts of a city you would not find by yourself. A little of the history without endless names and dates make it interesting. Stop for a coffee then go again as often as you like. Highly recommended.
Fun & Informative walking tour of Salamanca.

5.00We enjoy hearing the history and stories behind the building facades. It was a fun tour and we wouldn’t have seen half the sights without this tour. Hoping he gets his silhouette in Playa Mayor! 🤣
