Main attractions near Salamanca train station

One of the most captivating Renaissance city destinations in Spain and all of Europe, Salamanca is best explored on foot, and this can easily be done, starting from stepping onto the platform. Taking the main road from the station and continuing straight, visitors will find themselves lured into the peaceful green spaces of Parque de la Alamedilla after a 15-minute walk. This is an ideal spot to relax, but those looking to sample some local tapas should continue to the pedestrianised shopping area and eating hub of Calle Toro. This avenue of balconied buildings leads to Plaza Major, the nerve centre of the city. Here, just over a 20-minute stroll from Salamanca train station, a plethora of tapas bars and restaurants provide the perfect excuse to sit and take it the extraordinary, warm sandstone architecture of what’s considered one of Spain’s most elegant central squares.

Salamanca university was founded in 1218, making it one of the oldest in the world, and today the student spirit lives on, palpable in the energetic nightlife found in the bars and clubs of the Old Town after dark. The city is especially magical at night, when it’s lit up. For a taste of the intellectual prowess that has shaped Salamanca historically, visitors should head to Fonseca College, under a 10-minute walk west of the central square, and marvel at the grand double archways around a central grassy courtyard. It’s almost impossible to miss the city’s majestic Gothic/Plateresque/Baroque cathedral, which towers over the city and the Tormes river. Taking the streets leading south from Plaza Major towards the river, this jaw-dropping building is less than a 30-minute walk from the train station.
