We visited the oldest city in Europe. Cadiz was founded around 1000 BC by the Phoenicians.
Our sightseeing trip through the old town started on this beautiful square with a town hall worth seeing, built in 1799 and remodeled in 1861. Colorful houses frame the square with cafes and restaurants.

Old Plaza Mayor of the city, also known as La Corredera, was found extramural, as was usual in medieval cities, and near one of the gateways, in this case to the original Puerta del Mar, now Arco de la Pópulo.
In the 16th century it was already used as a center of urban activity, open to the port and presided over by the city council, it also houses restaurants, the church of the same name and in summer put jewellery stands and others, its location next to the port gives a feeling of spaciousness, it joins with new area of the city and is an area of excursions of routes of tourist and interurban buses to visit localities such as Chiclana, San Fernando.... Leaving the town hall on our left we reach the cathedral square

This is one of the most monumental and memorable squares of the city. It is wide and long, located near the port and the embankment and adjoins the beginning of the old town area, as well as the Cathedral of Cadiz. Plaza De San Juan de Dios unites the city hall building, a majestic monument, fountains, restaurants, cafes and idle strolling city residents and tourists. I don't think you'll miss this square, although to be honest, there's not much to do there.

Central square of the city where the town hall is located!
Well maintained with various restaurants and places where you can eat and drink something!
In the morning there are also stands selling artisanal products!

Came to this square at 11am. Was packed! Never seen so many people. Came back to it at 4pms Near empty. Lovely square leading into the old town streets. A great base to start and finish if at the port.

This is a lovely spot to start your walking tour of Cadiz. Pick up a map from the Tourist office nearby and you have a choice of 3 walks (marked on the pavements in different colours). Unusually the map shows all the streets so you can not get lost.
The purple path zig-zags through the old city and the maps shows attractions along the way. The yellow route is longer, but takes in the sea shore. You can link them together or create your own. If you only have a short time in Cadiz this is a great way to explore and you are sure to find a local bar for a coffee. Brilliant. An easy walk from the cruise terminal if you are on a ship.

This area gave me the first impression of Cadiz. Very relaxing with water fountains and palm trees that give this place really positive vibes.

We were there as part of a tour. There were about 45 of us and we walked together from the plaza to the cathedral. Somewhere along the way, someone from our tour had their backpack opened and credit cards stolen. It all happened really fast and no one saw what happened. Please keep your bags at the front of your body and keep your valuables safe.

We were conducting our own walking tour of Cadiz and chose to stop at El Sardinero for a couple of glasses of local Sherry and to watch people strolling by. A great choice of location to observe the world passing by while you relax and take it in.
There is no better thing to do with time than to enjoy it.

Plaza San Juan is a lovely large square with statues and fountains, it's close to the Tourist Office where you can pick up maps from the helpful staff and they also have free WiFi that works well it's only about a 5 minute walk along the waterfront. A free walking tour meets at the Plaza at 1pm in front of the Town Hall. Cadiz is a very walkable town with lovely narrow cobblestone streets, lots of shops close at 2pm and reopen at 5.30pm. We took the #2 bus for E1.10 for a great ride along the coastline with great views a bargain and easy, the Tourist staff marked on the map where to catch the bus.
