Planning your trip from Santiago de Compostela airport
The airport is located 10 kilometres outside the town of Santiago de Compostela, capital of northwest Spain’s Galicia region. From the airport, take the Autovía A-54 to the town centre.The famous pilgrimage town of Santiago de Compostela is packed with monuments and historic buildings, earning it UNESCO World Heritage status. It is known as one of Christianity´s greatest holy cities and attracts around 250,000 visitors a year.
The cathedral is considered by many to be one of the greatest buildings in the world, parts of it date back to the 12th century, and it is a mix of Romanesque, Gothic and baroque styles. It also houses a fine museum and archive. Book a rooftop tour for a bird’s eye view of the cathedral’s interior from its upper storeys, and of the city from the roof.
The monumental square in front of the cathedral, Praza do Obradoiro, is bordered by beautiful, ancient buildings including the 16th century Hostal dos Reis Católicos. Originally a recuperation centre for pilgrims, today it's a parador (state-owned hotel). Its courtyards and other areas are open to visitors. Elsewhere on the square are the elegant 18th-century Pazo de Raxoi and the Colegio de San Xerome.
Take a stroll around the historic old town close to the cathedral. The most interesting streets are the Rua del Villar, Rua Nueva and Calle Franco; where fashionable boutiques stand side by side with ancient grocery shops, and in between you’ll find taverns and tapas bars to sit and watch the world pass by whilst enjoying the local specialities.

Pontevedra
The medieval town of Pontevedra is around 60 km from Santiago de Compostela via the N-550 or the AP-9 toll road.
