Dominated by an elaborate Gothic cathedral, beautiful Burgos is a striking little city set between Madrid and Bilbao. Once an important destination on the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route, the city now pairs its rich history with a lively foodie scene. Still all too often overlooked by international visitors, the city has some fantastic accommodation options — and you’ll find many of the best places to stay in Burgos to be very reasonably priced.
Burgos Cathedral is a wonderful starting point for those eager to explore the fabulous Old Town on foot. Step through the historic city gates to amble along narrow cobbled streets, admire heritage architecture and taste regional specialities at the relaxed restaurants and tapas bars which line little lanes and sunlit squares. Spot the statue of El Çid — Burgos' favourite son — or enjoy a laid-back afternoon picnic in peaceful Paseo del Espolon after delving into the region’s past at the excellent Museo de la Evolución Humana.
Venture beyond the city for walking and cycling routes, wine tastings and refreshing waterfall dips. Orbaneja del Castillo, a small clifftop town nestled in the Ebro Valley, makes for a delightful day trip destination. Brilliant for an off-the-beaten-track city break, the best places to stay in Burgos await!
