Historic Vitoria-Gasteiz Group Walking Tour
Virgen Blanca Plaza 5, 01001 Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spanien
Description
Discover Vitoria-Gasteiz with a historian—not just a tour guide.
Explore the historic heart of Vitoria-Gasteiz in a relaxed small group of no more than 8 people. Led by a historian with a PhD in contemporary history, who has published two books on Basque history with Routledge and has more than a decade of experience living in the Basque Country, this tour is designed to help you understand the city—and the fascinating history of the Basque Country that surrounds it.
As we walk through the medieval streets and historic squares, we will explore the people, events, and changes that have shaped Vitoria-Gasteiz and the Basque Country as a whole, from its medieval origins to the present day.
This is more than a sightseeing walk. It is an opportunity to look beyond the obvious, ask questions, and engage in a conversation about the places we visit while gaining a deeper understanding of Vitoria-Gasteiz and the Basque Country.
