Vigo: Shore Excursion to Baiona and Vigo with Guide

Discover the charm of Galicia on a guided shore excursion from the Port of Vigo, exploring the historic highlights of both Vigo and Baiona. Your journey begins with a scenic drive to the picturesque town of Baiona, where you'll visit the impressive Fortress of Monte Real. Perched on a coastal hilltop, this medieval stronghold offers sweeping views over the surrounding islands and coastline. After exploring the fortress, enjoy a guided walking tour through Baiona’s old town, known for its charming medieval atmosphere and Galician terraced houses. You’ll also have some free time to explore at your own pace, browse local shops, or simply soak up the coastal scenery before heading back to Vigo.

Upon arriving in Vigo, you’ll be taken to El Castro, a 17th-century hilltop fortress built to defend the city from British naval attacks. From this elevated viewpoint, you can take in spectacular views of the bay and the city below. The tour then descends into Vigo’s historic quarter, where your guide will lead you through the winding streets filled with character and local history. At the conclusion of your tour, your guide will offer recommendations for nearby restaurants where you can sample Galicia’s renowned cuisine, including fresh seafood, traditional tapas, and regional wines. You’ll then have the option to remain in Vigo to continue exploring or return to your cruise ship at the port.
