Cáceres is a city full of monuments with great history but perhaps not as popular as it deserves to be. It has so much to offer, not only as a city but also for the great activities (also rural), and without a doubt, choosing a guided tour to get to know the city in depth is worth it.

Only 100 km from the border with Portugal, this city offers us a World Heritage historic centre, where you can stroll through its medieval cobbled streets. On your stroll, you can admire the old and new Jewish quarter, the Cathedral of Santa María, or the different palaces that the city houses. Sightseeing in Cáceres is like travelling back in time.

The only problem you have when visiting Cáceres is visiting the city independently. Due to its historical and artistic heritage, it may be difficult to learn and enjoy the history and beauty hidden in every corner of Cáceres. We recommend you opt for a guided tour, and to help you choose the one that best suits your tastes and those of your companions, we are going to make a list of the best guided tours with which you can live 100% of the experience.

What to do in Cáceres?

- If you don't know Cáceres, we recommend you to take a guided tour of the old town. You will have the feeling that time has stood still while you learn about the history of the three cultures (Christians, Jews and Muslims) that uniquely inhabited these streets because if there is one thing that characterises this city, it is the excellent state of preservation of its streets and historic buildings. Take a walk through the main streets accompanied by a local guide on this guided tour. You will be awe-struck as you learn the history of the Cathedral of Santa Maria, the Carvajal Palace, the Becerra Palace and the Arab Aljibe. These four monuments are a must-see. Compared to other World Heritage Cities, Cáceres offers an advantage. In addition, one of the main advantages that Cáceres offers is that on this type of guided tour, the entrance to the main monuments is normally included too!

- When night falls, the city feels transformed. No, it doesn't magically change its shape or size, but you will notice the shift in the atmosphere. The vibe created is special, and a unique ambience is provided by the warm lighting in the historic centre, awarded for being one of the most respectful of its heritage. Taking a guided tour of Cáceres at night is recommended and there is no better plan than strolling through the streets of this city accompanied by an expert guide who will tell you the most famous stories and legends. Admire the most iconic buildings and structures illuminated by the moonlight. We are sure that this route will make you fall in love with this Extremaduran city.

- If there is one thing the capital is known for, it is for its magnificent rustic setting in its rural zones. You will find farmland and pastureland where animals roam freely, and if you want to find out how the fighting bulls or pigs are reared (and pampered), you must take a guided tour of one of the most famous farms in Cáceres. With these excursions, you will be able to travel in 4x4 vehicles over the large tracts of land where these animals live. You will be accompanied by a farmer who will explain all the quirks, characteristics and care that each animal on the farm receives. At the end of the off-road tour, there is usually an aperitif with typical Extremaduran products. In short, you will spend a day in the countryside, surrounded by your friends or family while you enjoy the native fauna and flora of the area.

- If you want to spend a rural day, but do not want any livestock around you, the best option for you is to take a guided tour of the Monfragüe Nature Reserve, Gredos or Las Hurdes. This is one of the most beautiful and charming places and here; you will be able to see different species of birds, animals and plants. A guide will accompany you and you can either choose a walking tour or opt for a 4x4, as you wish. Both types of excursions make stops at the magnificent viewpoints in the area. Without a doubt, this is a unique way to enjoy nature.

Not only in the city of Cáceres itself but after any guided tour, a leisurely 'sit down' cannot be missed from your plan while you savour the typical and atypical delicacies of the land. In this city, it is a must-do activity because, in 2015, Cáceres was conferred the award for Spanish Capital of Gastronomy. In addition to this, the food standard has been maintained since time immemorial for having the finest dishes. It also has delicious traditional dishes. So why not treat yourself to a good meal after a guided tour of the city and its surroundings? Charm and hospitality will be part of the taste experience.

Don't hesitate any longer! Book the guided tour of Cáceres that best suits your preferences and that of your companions! Come and spend several unique days, enjoying the culture and art that the city offers us or the impressive native fauna and flora that it gives us. We are sure that you will fall in love with the charms of this province.
