📌City
Zaragoza is the capital of the province of the same name and of the autonomous community of Aragon, in north-eastern Spain. It lies in the middle of the Ebro valley, on the banks of that river and its tributaries the Huerva and the Gállego, roughly halfway between Madrid and Barcelona. According to the INE it had 693.091 inhabitants in 2025, making it the fourth most populous municipality in the country, after Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia. Its name comes from Caesaraugusta, the colony founded by the emperor Augustus, and beneath the old town you can still see the Roman forum, river port, baths and theatre. It later became Muslim Saraqusta, which left behind the Aljafería palace, and from 1118 it was the capital of the Kingdom of Aragon. It is best known for the Basílica del Pilar, one of the most important Marian shrines in the Catholic world, with domes covered in coloured tiles and frescoes by Goya. It is also known for the Sieges of 1808 and 1809, when it held out against Napoleon's army, and for Expo 2008, which was devoted to water. Its main festival is on 12 October, the feast of the Virgen del Pilar. The Mudéjar remains of the Aljafería and the church of San Pablo are part of the 'Arquitectura mudéjar de Aragón' ensemble, a Unesco World Heritage Site.
📌Currency and language
You pay in euros. The language on the street is Spanish (Castilian), so you'll understand everything without any trouble; you'll hear a distinctive accent and local words, such as 'cierzo' for the cold north-westerly wind. On city buses a single ticket is paid in cash to the driver, and the airport bus (line 505) accepts contactless cards from 21 September 2026. For several journeys the Tarjeta Bus is the better option, and it works on both buses and trams.
📌Best time to go
Spring and autumn are the most comfortable seasons. The climate is semi-arid: cool winters, with average lows close to 2 °C and fog in December and January, and hot summers, with highs often above 30 °C and some days above 35 °C. The cierzo can blow hard and make it feel colder. The Fiestas del Pilar, around 12 October, are the city's big week: the streets are lively, but according to Momondo October is the most expensive month for accommodation (152 € a night on average) and July the cheapest (95 €).
📌Visa and entry
Argentines, Uruguayans, Chileans, Mexicans, Colombians and Peruvians do not need a visa for tourist stays of up to 90 days in any 180-day period within the Schengen area. Since 10 April 2026 the EES (Entry/Exit System) has been fully in operation: at your first Schengen border check they record your fingerprints and photo, and your passport is no longer stamped. ETIAS, the 20 € online authorisation, is not being charged yet and the EU has not set a date: the European press is talking about 2027. If you land in Madrid or Barcelona and carry on to Zaragoza by train, you go through the border check at that first airport.

🌤️ Weather in Zaragoza
Loading weather…
Zaragoza often ends up as a quick stopover between Madrid and Barcelona, and that's a mistake. In a single walk along the Ebro you pass a 15th-century bridge, a Baroque basilica with eleven colourful domes and a cathedral built on top of the Roman forum and the great mosque. Everything is close together, easy to see on foot, and much of it is free or costs just a few euros. The high-speed train puts it less than an hour and a half from Spain's two biggest cities.
The city has layers you can see with the naked eye. At the bottom, Roman Caesaraugusta, with a theatre for around 6.000 spectators and a port on the river. In the middle, the Aljafería, an 11th-century palace of the Muslim kings that was later used by the kings of Aragon and the Catholic Monarchs, and is today the seat of the Aragonese parliament. On top, the brick-and-ceramic Mudéjar style, a World Heritage Site. And everywhere, Goya, who was born 44 km from here.
It's also a city for eating and wandering at an easy pace. El Tubo, a tangle of alleys next to the Plaza de España, has been home to tapas bars for generations. Ternasco de Aragón (milk-fed lamb), borage and migas turn up on every menu. And if you have days to spare, there are easy day trips: Goya's birthplace in Fuendetodos, the waterfall park at the Monasterio de Piedra, or the Aragonese Pyrenees.
📖 History of Zaragoza
Before the Romans there was an Iberian town here, Salduie, documented from the 3rd century BC. Around 14 BC Augustus refounded it as a colony for veterans under the name Caesaraugusta, which is where the word Zaragoza comes from. It covered 47 hectares, the same layout as today's old town, and had a forum, a river port, baths and one of the largest theatres in Hispania. In 714 it was taken by the Muslims and became Saraqusta. In the 11th century it was the capital of a taifa kingdom; between 1065 and 1081 King al-Muqtadir built the Aljafería. In 1118 Alfonso I the Battler conquered it and made it the capital of the Kingdom of Aragon, where its kings were crowned. The Puente de Piedra over the Ebro was built between 1401 and 1440, and in 1492 the Aljafería became a palace of the Catholic Monarchs. From the 17th century devotion to the Virgen del Pilar grew and the current Baroque basilica went up; Ventura Rodríguez redesigned its interior from 1750 and Goya painted the Regina Martirum dome. During the Peninsular War the city withstood two French sieges (1808 and 1808-1809); in the second, some 40.000 defenders died and the city became a European symbol of resistance to Napoleon. The railway and the sugar industry brought growth: the Mercado Central opened in 1903 and the Parque Grande in 1929. In 2008 the city hosted the Expo devoted to water, which left behind the Aquarium, the Torre del Agua and the Parque del Agua. The tram opened in 2011. Today it is Spain's fourth-largest municipality.

Basílica del Pilar and the San Francisco de Borja viewpoint tower
The symbol of Zaragoza, with eleven domes of coloured tiles, frescoes by Goya and a lift up a tower with a 360° view.
Leer más ↓
The Basílica de Nuestra Señora del Pilar is one of the most important Marian shrines in the Catholic world and one of the city's two cathedrals. According to tradition, this is where the jasper pillar is venerated on which the Virgin appeared to the apostle James. The current building is Baroque: work began in the 17th century and Ventura Rodríguez redesigned the interior from 1750, with the Santa Capilla at its centre.
Inside, look for the Regina Martirum dome and the Coreto vault, painted by Goya, and the high altarpiece of the Assumption by Damián Forment (16th century). Near the Santa Capilla two of the bombs that fell on the church in August 1936 and failed to explode are on display.
Entry to the church is free. The lift in the San Francisco de Borja tower, the one closest to the Ebro, climbs 62 metres in about 20 seconds; then a staircase takes you to the viewpoint at about 80 metres, where you can see the domes, the bridges and, on clear days, the Pyrenees. The entrance is on the paseo Echegaray y Caballero, by the river.
ℹ️ Distance: Plaza del Pilar, in the historic centre · Best time to go: All year round; for the tower, a clear day · Admission: Basilica: free. Tower (lift): 5 € general; 3 € residents, young people aged 13 to 18, youth card or university card holders up to 25 and over-65s (source: Aragón Digital, May 2024; we found no official rate published in 2026, checked October 2026).

La Seo (Catedral del Salvador) and Museo de Tapices
The city's oldest cathedral, built on top of the Roman forum and the great mosque, with a Mudéjar wall that is a World Heritage Site.
Leer más ↓
La Seo del Salvador is Zaragoza's other cathedral, and the older of the two. It was built on the site of the Roman forum of Caesaraugusta and the great mosque of Saraqusta: the tower still bears the imprint of the old minaret. Work began in the 12th century in Romanesque style and carried on with alterations until 1704, when the tower's Baroque spire was added.
Inside it is a church with five naves of equal height, which gives it the feel of a great hall, with a Mudéjar lantern over the crossing and chapels from every period. Alongside it stands the 'Parroquieta', built to house the tomb of Lope de Luna. The whole complex is built of brick, typical of Aragonese architecture.
General admission covers the cathedral, the Museo de Tapices, the Museo Pilarista and the Museo del Rosario de Cristal; residents of Aragon get in free on Tuesdays. Opening hours change from month to month and on Saturdays it may close for a few hours for weddings, so it's worth checking beforehand.
ℹ️ Distance: Plaza de la Seo, two blocks from the Basílica del Pilar · Best time to go: All year round, best in the morning · Admission: 10 € general admission for non-residents of Aragon; includes the cathedral, Museo de Tapices, Museo Pilarista and Museo del Rosario de Cristal.

Palacio de la Aljafería (seat of the Cortes de Aragón)
An 11th-century Islamic palace, later home to the kings of Aragon and the Catholic Monarchs; today it houses the Aragonese parliament.
Leer más ↓
The Aljafería is the only large surviving building of Hispano-Muslim art from the taifa period, the link between the Mosque of Córdoba and the Alhambra. King al-Muqtadir had it built between 1065 and 1081 as a pleasure palace, which was known as the 'palacio de la Alegría' (Palace of Joy).
The visit starts in the Santa Isabel courtyard, with its mixtilinear and interlacing arches, and continues through the small octagonal oratory with its plasterwork decoration. Next come the rooms of King Pedro IV's Mudéjar palace, with carved wooden ceilings, and the Catholic Monarchs' palace of 1492, whose throne room has a gilded coffered ceiling bearing the motto 'Tanto monta'. It later became a military fortress and today it is the seat of the Cortes de Aragón. Its Mudéjar remains have been a World Heritage Site since 1986.
There are guided tours at set times. On the first Sunday and first Monday of each month admission is free, but you still need to get a ticket. As it is a parliamentary seat, it may close for official events.
ℹ️ Distance: Calle Diputados s/n, west of the historic centre · Best time to go: All year round; from April to October it opens every day from 10 to 18 h · Admission: 7 € general; 2 € over-65s, students and youth card holders; free for under-12s and the unemployed; guided tour 9 € (source: zaragozala.com, local aggregator, information reviewed August 2026; checked October 2026).

Museo del Teatro de Caesaraugusta
The remains of one of the largest Roman theatres in Hispania, with room for around 6.000 spectators, right in the old town.
Leer más ↓
The Roman theatre of Caesaraugusta survives among the houses of the old town. It covered some 7.000 square metres, measured 106 metres in diameter and held roughly 6.000 people, which places it among the largest in Roman Hispania.
The museum is one of the four on the City Council's Ruta de Caesaraugusta, together with the Forum, the River Port and the Baths. According to Wikipedia, besides plays the theatre may also have hosted other shows. If you only have time for one Roman museum, choose by what interests you: the Theatre shows the entertainment building, while the Forum shows commercial life by the river.
If you plan to see several Roman museums, buy the Ruta de Caesaraugusta pass, which covers the Theatre, Forum, River Port and Baths. Over-65s and under-16s get in free with ID, and on the first Sunday of each month admission is free for everyone. Open Tuesday to Saturday from 10 to 14 and 17 to 21 h; Sundays and public holidays from 10 to 14,30 h; closed Mondays.

Ruta de Caesaraugusta: Museo del Foro, Puerto fluvial and Termas
Three underground museums showing Roman Zaragoza beneath the Plaza de la Seo and the old town, just a few metres apart.
Leer más ↓
Beneath the Plaza de la Seo lies the forum from the time of Augustus, the commercial heart of the city, linked to the shipping of goods along the Ebro. The Museo del Foro, entered from Plaza de la Seo 2, shows the remains of that space below street level. It opens Tuesday to Saturday from 10 to 14 and 17 to 21 h, and on Sundays and public holidays from 10 to 14,30 h.
A few steps away, the Museo del Puerto Fluvial preserves the walls of the port that made Caesaraugusta the main distribution centre for goods in the Ebro valley. And the Museo de las Termas Públicas preserves part of the Roman city's public baths.
These are small museums: each one takes 30 to 45 minutes. The cheapest option is the Ruta de Caesaraugusta pass, which covers all four Roman museums including the Theatre. Over-65s and under-16s get in free on showing ID, and admission is free on the first Sunday of each month, 29 January, 23 April, 18 May and 12 October.
ℹ️ Distance: Plaza de la Seo and surroundings, old town · Best time to go: All year round · Admission: Forum: 4 € general, 3 € reduced. River Port: 3 € general, 2 € reduced.

Puente de Piedra and the banks of the Ebro
The oldest surviving medieval bridge over the Ebro in Zaragoza, with bronze lions and the best postcard view of the Pilar.
Leer más ↓
There was a Roman bridge at this very spot, destroyed in the 9th century and rebuilt in the Muslim period. The one you see today was built between 1401 and 1440 under Gil de Menestral, and it is about 225 metres long over seven arches. The Ebro's floods damaged it several times: a flood in 1643 swept away two arches, which were repaired in 1659. After the Sieges, French troops blew up the arch closest to the Arrabal, and a cross on the second pier commemorates two defenders. The four bronze lions at either end date from the 20th century and are the work of the sculptor Francisco Rallo.
Cross to the left bank and head down to the San Lázaro viewpoint: that's where the classic photo of Zaragoza is taken, with the bridge in the foreground and the domes and towers of the Pilar behind the river. The tourist office includes it in its list of the city's viewpoints.
From there you can keep walking along the bank of the Ebro. It's a free walk with no opening hours, and a good way to round off your visit to the centre; at night the floodlit Pilar has its own charm too.
ℹ️ Distance: Opposite the Basílica del Pilar, paseo Echegaray y Caballero · Best time to go: Sunset, for the photo from San Lázaro · Admission: Free (public space) · Duration: 30 minutes to 1 hour

El Tubo (tapas area)
Narrow alleys next to the Plaza de España, home to the city's most traditional tapas bars.
Leer más ↓
El Tubo is the popular name for a handful of narrow streets in the old town: Estébanes, Cuatro de Agosto, Libertad, Cinegio, Blasón Aragonés. It's where people from Zaragoza have gone 'de tapas' (out for tapas) for generations, and it fills up especially at lunchtime and in the evening.
Some bars are institutions. Bodega Almau, on calle Estébanes, has been going since 1870 and is known for its anchovies and montaditos. El Champi serves practically a single tapa, made with mushrooms, according to local guides. Casa Pascualillo, on calle Libertad, and Croquearte, on Cuatro de Agosto, are other stops. The idea is to go from bar to bar, ordering a tapa and a drink in each.
To save money, check whether the 'Tapea x el Tubo' promotion is still running: in May 2026 it started with 14 bars offering a tapa plus a drink for 4 € on Wednesdays and Thursdays that aren't public holidays, from 12 to 16 h and 20 to 23 h. It doesn't apply on Fridays and Saturdays, when it's busier.
ℹ️ Distance: Calles Estébanes, Libertad and Cuatro de Agosto, old town · Best time to go: Lunchtime or early evening, best on weekdays · Admission: Free to wander; 'Tapea x el Tubo' promo 4 € tapa + drink on Wednesdays and Thursdays (source: zaragozala.com, May 2026 article, checked October 2026) · Duration: 1,5 to 2 hours of tapas

Mercado Central (Mercado de Lanuza)
A Modernista iron-and-glass market from 1903, renovated in 2020, with fresh-produce stalls and counters for eating.
Leer más ↓
The Mercado Central was designed in 1895 by the Aragonese architect Félix Navarro, who had seen Les Halles in Paris, to replace the open-air market on the old Plaza del Mercado. It was finished in 1903 and has been a national historic monument since 1978. It has a rectangular plan with three naves, the central one taller, and combines stone, iron and glass; look at the column capitals, shaped like little baskets, leaves and bunches of fruit.
The City Council restored it in 2018 and 2019 and it reopened on 6 February 2020 with 78 stalls: most of them selling food and a few serving it. The work restored the central aisle and uncovered the enamel panels on the façade that showed the goods sold inside.
It's a good place to browse fresh produce, buy something for a picnic or have a drink at its counters. It stands on avenida César Augusto, where several city bus lines stop.
ℹ️ Distance: Avenida César Augusto, a few minutes' walk from the Plaza del Pilar · Best time to go: In the morning, when the stalls are busiest · Admission: Free (municipal market) · Duration: 45 minutes to 1 hour

Francisco de Goya was born in Fuendetodos, 44 km from Zaragoza, and left his painting in the Basílica del Pilar. The Fundación Ibercaja's Museo Goya (also Museo Camón Aznar) revolves around him: a permanent collection, highlight works, a prints room with engravings, and sections on Goya and his time and on his influence and legacy.
The museum reopened on Friday 9 October 2026 after a major extension which, according to the local press, adds galleries and a new entrance. There are now immersive and virtual-reality experiences: the one called 'Goya en las alturas' costs an extra 2 €.

Museo Pablo Gargallo
A municipal museum devoted to the Aragonese sculptor Pablo Gargallo, housed in a 17th-century Baroque palace on the plaza San Felipe.
Leer más ↓
Pablo Gargallo was a 20th-century Aragonese sculptor who worked extensively with cut metal. This single-artist museum brings together sculptures, drawings, prints and the cardboard templates he used as patterns for cutting the metal pieces, plus a documentation centre on his work.
The building is worth the visit in itself: it is the Palacio de los Condes de Argillo, also known as the house of Francisco Sáenz de Cortés, from the 17th century. It shows the transition of Aragonese civil architecture from the Renaissance to the Baroque, with an entrance hall, courtyard and staircase in sequence and a gallery of small arches under the roof. It was declared a National Monument in 1943.
It is almost fully accessible: only the drawings room is not, and there is a small step at the entrance. If you have already bought the City Council's 5-museum pass, admission is included along with the four museums of the Ruta de Caesaraugusta. Visitors over 65 and under 16 get in free on showing ID.
ℹ️ Distance: Plaza de San Felipe 3, old town · Best time to go: All year round · Admission: 4 € general; 3 € reduced; included in the 9 € 5-museum pass (source: zaragoza.es, Museo Pablo Gargallo tickets, verified October 2026) · Duration: 1 hour

The Parque Grande was designed between 1913 and 1927 and opened in 1929, when it lay on the outskirts of a city of around 160.000 inhabitants. For almost a century it was the largest park in Zaragoza, until the Parque del Agua was built for the Expo in 2008. Since 2010 it has been named after the Aragonese singer-songwriter and politician José Antonio Labordeta.

Fuendetodos (Goya's birthplace)
The village where Francisco de Goya was born, with his birthplace, the Museo del Grabado and an exhibition hall, in the Campo de Belchite.
Leer más ↓
Fuendetodos is a small village in the Campo de Belchite, 44 km southwest of Zaragoza, with 130 inhabitants according to the INE (2025). Its name comes from the 'fountain of all', the Fuente Vieja. It is known as the birthplace of Francisco de Goya, the great Aragonese painter.
The Fundación Fuendetodos Goya's cultural visit includes Goya's Birthplace (Casa Natal de Goya), the Museo del Grabado and the Sala de Exposiciones Zuloaga, all with a single ticket. As an extra, the foundation offers an introductory printmaking workshop, charged separately.
The surroundings are pine forest and Mediterranean scrub, with ravines cut into the limestone. We found no published regular public transport route, so the practical option is to go by car. It opens Tuesday to Sunday from 11 to 14 and from 16 to 19 h, and on Mondays that are public holidays too. The foundation's website does not seem to be updated often: confirm by phone before you go.

Monasterio de Piedra (Nuévalos)
12th-century Cistercian monastery surrounded by a historic park of waterfalls, lakes and grottoes on the Piedra river.
Leer más ↓
In 1186 King Alfonso II of Aragon and his wife Sancha of Castile gave the castle of Piedra to the monks of the Catalan monastery of Poblet to found a Cistercian abbey; the monks arrived in 1194. They lived there for a little over 600 years, until the disentailment of 1835. A private buyer then bought the site and turned it into a tourist establishment. It has been a National Monument since 1983.
The ticket combines two things. The historic garden park is a walking route among waterfalls, streams, lakes and grottoes, with centuries-old trees; Spain's first fish farm was created here some 150 years ago. The monastery is visited at your own pace: cloister, chapter house, old abbey, the monastery kitchen with an exhibition on the history of chocolate, and other rooms.
It is in Nuévalos, in the Calatayud area. By car, take the A-2 motorway and exit at km 204 or km 231; parking is free. By train, the AVE stops in Calatayud and from there you continue by road. Between 5 and 18 October the park opens from 9 to 19,30 h, with last entry at 17,30 h.

🏨 Where to stay
No exact prices: a scale from $ (budget) to $$$$$ (luxury), with 2-3 options per category.
Budget: guesthouses and hostel
Recommended optionsFor a cheap bed in the centre there are guesthouses and a hostel: Pensión Corona and Hostal Central from 37 € a night, Albergue Zaragoza Hostel from 41 € and Hostal Milmarcos from 46 € (source: Momondo, aggregator, prices shown in October 2026). These are 'from' rates; during the Fiestas del Pilar (around 12 October) they go up and sell out.
Mid-range near Delicias station or the centre
Recommended optionsExe Plaza Delicias from 61 € a night and Hotel Diagonal Plaza from 66 € (source: Momondo, aggregator, verified October 2026). The Delicias area works if you arrive and leave by early train; to walk to the Pilar, the old town or paseo de la Independencia is a better bet. According to Momondo, July is the cheapest month (95 € on average) and October the most expensive (152 €).
Upscale in the historic centre
Recommended optionsHotel Alfonso from 92 € a night, Hotel Reina Petronila from 98 € and Hotel Palafox from 102 € (source: Momondo, aggregator, verified October 2026). These are 'from' rates from a one-off sample; with specific dates they can change a lot. Book well ahead for Pilar week.
Recommended optionsNH Collection Gran Hotel de Zaragoza from 103 € a night in the Momondo sample; the average price of 5-star hotels in Zaragoza is 172 € according to the same aggregator (source: Momondo, verified October 2026). According to Momondo, October is the most expensive month of the year.
🍴 Where to eat
Options / signature dishThe cheapest and most local way to eat: bar-hopping along calle Estébanes, calle Libertad and calle Cuatro de Agosto. With the 'Tapea x el Tubo' promo, 14 bars (including Bodega Almau, Casa Pascualillo, Croquearte and Bar Pilares) serve a tapa from the menu + a drink for 4 € on Wednesdays and Thursdays that are not public holidays, 12:00–16:00 and 20:00–23:00 (source:
zaragozala.com, article from May 2026; verified October 2026). Check at the bar that it is still running.
Vermut con tapa elaborada (Pilar Gastro Week)
Options / signature dishFrom 10 to 18 October 2026, 26 bars offer 'vermutadas': an elaborate tapa with a drink.

zaragozala.com, Pilar Gastro Week 2026 guide; verified October 2026).
Parrilla aragonesa: costillas de ternasco
Options / signature dishTernasco de Aragón (young lamb) is the dish you have to try, chargrilled or roasted. Los Xarmientos, an Aragonese grill known for its ternasco ribs, runs around 30–45 € per person (source: Gastroranking, aggregator, verified October 2026). Pair it with borage, a typical vegetable from Aragon's market gardens.
Menús de cocina aragonesa (migas, borrajas, chilindrón)

❓ Frequently asked questions
Do I need a visa, EES or ETIAS to travel to Zaragoza from Latin America?+
Argentines, Uruguayans, Chileans, Mexicans, Colombians and Peruvians do not need a visa for tourism of up to 90 days in any 180-day period within the Schengen area. Since 10 April 2026 the EES (Entry/Exit System) has been fully operational: at your first Schengen border check they record your fingerprints and photo, and your passport is no longer stamped. Since almost everyone arrives via Madrid or Barcelona, that's where you'll register. ETIAS, a 20 € online authorisation, is not yet required: the EU dropped the late-2026 date and the European press is talking about 2027. Carry a return ticket, an accommodation booking and health insurance, as you may be asked for them.
How many days should I spend in Zaragoza?+
Two full days cover the highlights. One day for the Ebro axis: the Basílica del Pilar and its tower, La Seo, the Roman museums on plaza de la Seo, the Puente de Piedra and tapas in El Tubo in the evening. Another day for the Aljafería, the Museo Goya (reopened on 9 October 2026), the Mercado Central and the Parque Grande or the Expo area with the Aquarium. A third day lets you add an excursion: Fuendetodos, 44 km away, or the Monasterio de Piedra, in Nuévalos. If you use the city as a base, the Aragonese Pyrenees and Ordesa also make good day trips.
How do I get from Delicias station or the airport to the centre?+
Zaragoza-Delicias station, where high-speed trains and long-distance coaches stop, is about 3 km from the centre. According to Ouigo's guide, city bus lines 34, 51 and CI3 pass by, with stops near the Mercado Central and plaza de España; on foot it's 30 to 40 minutes. There are also two taxi ranks. From the airport, line 505 of the Consorcio de Transportes runs on timetables coordinated with flights: the ticket costs 4,65 € and from 21 September 2026 you can pay with a contactless card or your phone when boarding, or buy in advance at aeropuerto.lazo.app.
What's the best way to get around the city?+
The historic centre is entirely walkable: from the Pilar to La Seo, El Tubo and the Mercado Central is just a few blocks. For places further out (Aljafería, Expo area, Parque Grande) take the bus or tram. A single ticket costs 1,70 € in 2026 and is paid in cash to the driver. If you'll be making several trips, get the Tarjeta Bus: it costs 7 € (5 € of credit and a 2 € deposit that you get back), each ride costs 0,55 €, it's valid on bus and tram, includes a free transfer within one hour and several people can share it. Children under 14 travel free. You don't need a car in the city; it does help for Fuendetodos.
Is it worth going during the Fiestas del Pilar?+
It depends on what you're after. The Fiestas del Pilar centre on 12 October, the feast of the Virgen del Pilar and the city's main festival, and fill the streets with events, music and people. In 2026 Pilar Gastro Week also runs from 10 to 18 October, with Aragonese set menus from 30 to 55 € and vermutadas from 4,50 €. The downside is that, according to Momondo, October is the most expensive month for accommodation, at 152 € a night on average. On the plus side: on 12 October the municipal museums of the Ruta de Caesaraugusta are free, and the Basílica del Pilar is at its busiest. Book accommodation well in advance.
How can I save money on my visit?+
Quite a few things are free: the Basílica del Pilar, the Puente de Piedra, the Mercado Central, the Museo de Zaragoza, the Parque Grande and the Parque del Agua. The municipal Roman museums are free for over-65s and under-16s, and for everyone on the first Sunday of each month; otherwise the Ruta de Caesaraugusta pass (4 museums) costs 7 €. The Aljafería is free on the first Sunday and first Monday of each month, although you still need to get a ticket. For eating, make the most of the 4 € tapa-and-drink promo in El Tubo on Wednesdays and Thursdays, if it's still running. And get around with the Tarjeta Bus: 0,55 € a ride instead of 1,70 €.
