We were pleasantly surprised by the size of the old walled city, and they've done quite a good job preserving/restoring the old buildings and stone-paved streets and paths. Great to see all those storks nesting on rooftops, and you could see places where platforms had been erected in some areas to provide flat areas for the storks to build their... More

A place to be transported back in time. Beautiful during the day and even more so at night. Delightful to have dinner on any open terrace in the Plaza Mayor More

You can explore its narrow streets and passages, visit churches, clime towers. Cáceres is kept in the immaculate condition. All the buildings have been restored. There is no rubbish anywhere. Cáceres is the province with the largest number of storks, 7035 families of these birds are leaving there. On just about every tower there are nests. Quite often you can... More

We loved the charm and in April,it was quiet and easy to access all of the exhibits. Lots of variety and quality and the tourist info was good, though not often in English.for a small town there was plenty to experience.the artesian workshop had stunning pieces at excellent prices. More

First, it is drop-dead beautiful. Second, the history is fascinating, even if not filled with names that many will recognize. We were here during the Samana Santa. Because the town is small, we got a very different feel than what we have experienced in the bigger cities. There were other foreigners, but they were not the usual photo-posing, trinket-buyers. As... More

Every corner is unique ! Take the walking tour (it leaves a couple of times from the main square, at 11 AM and 12:30 AM). Our local guide knew the history of every corner, and I am sure we could have stayed many more hours enjoying every second of it. There is a fee for the visit, that you can... More

The timeless, quiet atmosphere of the old streets makes for a great aimless wander, especially at nighttime when everything is beautifully illuminated. Also, the wiew of the old town from the Plaza Mayor is especially beautiful at night. Many of the old palaces have courtyards which are open to the public and allow you to get a better impression of... More

Go with good walking sturdy shoes. Must sees are the Concathedral, Torre de Bujaco and the Museo de Caceres. If you have time a drop by at Museo de Semana Santa is also good. Foodwise there isn't much to offer inside the city walls, so do plan your time accordingly. More
