THE CAPITAL OF THE OLD KINGDOM, MUCH MORE THAN THE SAN FERMÍN FESTIVITIES
To begin to know the places to see in Pamplona and its surroundings, we must talk about the possibility that you have come to the San Fermín Festival, if so we hope you enjoyed them. What we did not expect is that you would visit the city to see its monuments, so this is your opportunity. Pamplona was always surrounded by walls, and much of them remains, undoubtedly one of the largest and best preserved walled enclosures in all of Europe.
The cathedral has a cloister that is a jewel of Gothic architecture, and the bullfighting tour will take you through its old town and its many bars, always lively, especially on Thursdays, Fridays and weekends. But as we consider that, like most medium-sized cities, the visit does not last three days, we recommend that you take advantage of the excellent central location of Pamplona to get to know some of the areas of Navarra that we present on this website. Finally, don't forget to enjoy the delicious local cuisine.
PRACTICAL TIPS
1) Pamplona is a medium-sized city, well connected, clean, safe and with many green areas.
2) We offer you a INTERACTIVE PDF with all the information necessary for the visit. You can download two routes, a shorter one through the old town and the longer one that will take you along the walls that surrounded Pamplona until you reach the impressive fortress of La Ciudadela. We indicate the areas of bars, parks, shopping streets, restaurants, etc. An easy and simple way to get to know all the places to see in Pamplona and surrounding areas.
3) Pamplona during the week is a city very quiet, the same does not happen on Thursdays and weekends when the bars and restaurants are full, and the nightlife is guaranteed.
4) Pamplona is a starting point ideal for visiting the entire Autonomous Community, due to its central position and good communications.
5) At the end of this page we recommend a series of accommodations that collaborate with us in the tourist dissemination of Navarra, who understand the trade as a comprehensive service and who ensure that tourists enjoy the best of this land, and then find the best rest.

OTHER THREE-DAY ROUTES THROUGH NAVARRE


3 days – 2 nights Irati Forest and Pyrenees
The Irati Forest is one of those forests that you have to know for being the largest beech forest in Europe and nearby is the Roncal valley with its villages of mountain houses and the high peaks of the Pyrenees, to end in the lands of the castle of Javier, the monastery of Leyre, Sangüesa and the spectacular gorges of Lumbier or Arbayún. Too many places to see for so few days, so you will have to make a selection or extend your stay for another day.


3 days – 2 nights Tierra Estella and Urbasa
Urbasa is an extensive plateau of forests and meadows in which deep caves and chasms are hidden. and magical places such as the source of the Urederra, which, in a succession of waterfalls and pools of turquoise blue waters, descends towards the Améscoa valley. Estella awaits us nearby, a bustling city with many monuments to see and the hidden monastery of Iranzu. And further away Los Arcos, Viana, Artajona, Eunate... a whole list of places of interest to complete this unique route.


3 days – 2 nights Pamplona and surroundings
Pamplona was always surrounded by walls, and much remains of them, undoubtedly one of the largest and best preserved walled enclosures in all of Europe. The cathedral, with its cloister, a jewel of Gothic architecture, and the bullfighting tour will take you through its old town and its many bars, always lively, especially on Thursdays, Fridays and weekends. But since we consider that, like most medium-sized cities, it is not enough for a three-day visit, we recommend that on the second day you take the car and go see the surroundings. By…


3 days – 2 nights Olite and Bardena
A desert in the rainy north? That's right, a desert devastated by the wind and that brings us closer to the spectacular places of Piskerra or Castildetierra, photographed thousands of times and that seem taken from a movie set. The Olite castle, one of the most beautiful in Spain, is a must-see when you come to Navarra, and a little further away, perched in the mountains, we will find the town of Ujué, with its houses stacked around the Sanctuary-fortress of Santa María.


3 days – 2 nights Navarra with children
We are going to try to strike a healthy balance between what the little ones and the older ones like, because we think that parents also have to enjoy the trip. A safe option is to dedicate a whole day to the children visiting the Senda Viva park, one of the main tourist attractions in Navarra. Then we will try to combine some activity, such as visiting a cave, horseback riding, visiting a museum, etc. with a hiking route, not too demanding, but that


3 days – 2 nights Baztán and Northern Lands
The North of Navarra is a land of dazzling green, rivers and streams everywhere, meadows, enormous hamlets cared for with care, and ancient traditions that reflect Basque culture. Two different landscapes Leurtza and Xorroxín with the same protagonist, the water, which in the first remains dammed between mountains and in the second jumps running down the mountain. Two routes and countless towns spread throughout the valleys, all of them worth visiting. From the Baztán valley to the Urdax and Zurragamurdi caves to end in the Sierra de Aralar and the…
