The Experience

Two World Heritage Cities in a Day

If you're based in Madrid, this is the easiest way to see Salamanca. An air-conditioned coach takes you to Salamanca first, where a guide shows you the old town: the Plaza Mayor, the cathedral and the streets around the Casa de las Conchas.

In the afternoon you continue to Ávila, to walk its medieval streets and, with the right option, climb onto its famous walls.

Commentary is bilingual, in English and Spanish, and private and small-group options are available.

The honest version

It's a long day, with a lot of time on the road, and you'll only have a few hours in Salamanca. Cathedral and wall tickets are included only in some options. If you can stay a night, the train from Madrid takes about 1 hour 35 minutes.

Honest Advice

You can spend a night in Salamanca: the city is at its best in the evening, and the train is quick.
