Vigo, Spain

[Len3]

We have from 10:00AM to 5:00PM. Any suggestions on how to fill the shore time? It's also on a Sunday.

The most important site in this area is Santiago de Campostela. Due to the limited time in port a tour seems advisable but public transportation would also be available. If you search on this forum you will find more details.

Would echo Carlmm - go to Santiago de Compostela. It's unmissable. A tour would be the easiest & most convenient.

We are also in port from 10am to 5pm. We rented a caar and plan to drive to Santiago where I hired a tour guide so that we will be able to maximize our time. I imagine we will get to Santiago by 11:30...perhaps even earlier! The guide has assured us that the drive is only an hour, but I like to include extra time! We arranged to meet at 11:30....giving us time at the car rental company...hertz is steps away from the port...we will take a taxi so as not to waste time by getting lost! We will tour for 3 hoursrs and be back in the car by 2:30. We will get back to no later than 4:00..and on the ship by 4:30. Close BUT I think safe!

I would be happy to share. We are using Hertz. We are paying 44E. Make sure to call there international numer...they charge less. 1-800-654-3001. I also asked about the location of the rental office. There are 2. The one at Arenal 104 is closer to the ship. I hope that helps!

We're just back from Vigo and we had a lovely time - the people are so friendly.

 

We walked up to the Cathedral in the old town and did some shopping - if you looking for some nice tapas and wine you must go to Casa Samaniego, some of the nicest people we've ever met !!

 

 

If you go - please say hi to them from the people from Belfast !!
