Explore Vigo's vibrant culture, rich history and street scenes by joining a local guide on a 90-minute walking tour through Old Town, plus you'll enjoy Galician refreshments along the way. Start your narrated stroll along Montero Rios Avenue to see the statue of Jules Verne, the French novelist who wrote Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, set in Vigo Bay. Admire the modern-styled buildings lining Concepcion Arenal Street and romp through Compostela Square to the city center of Principe Street, the city's most popular shopping strip. Enjoy a passing glimpse of Garcia Barbon Theatre, opened in 1900, as well as the grand Puerta Del Sol hotel and sky-high El Sireno (The Merman) sculpture. Pause to rest your feet in a local café, sip a complimentary beverage and snack. Then enter the Old Town district for a ramble past town hall in Constitution Square, artisan shops along Cesteiros Street and La Colgiata, the city's most important church. One must-see experience is on Oyster Street, where you'll encounter a collection of merchants who shuck and sell freshly harvested oysters grown in nearby waters. You can head back with the guide at this point, or stay and linger independently awhile longer.
