Salamanca: A City of Heritage and History

Salamanca is a UNESCO World Heritage city. Its historic quarter will surprise you with the variety and artistic richness of its monuments. Its ideal size makes it easy to explore comfortably on foot, allowing for a pleasant stroll.


The University of Salamanca is one of the oldest in Europe, along with those in Oxford, Bologna, and Paris. The academic institution promotes innovation, knowledge transfer, and entrepreneurship among its students and researchers. It fosters the development of new spin-off companies and boosts their socioeconomic and international visibility.


Eight hundred years of history and prestige have left their mark on the city itself, where you can feel the young, fresh, and cheerful university atmosphere.


Cultural activities are a great complement for those who come to the city to attend a conference or event and also want to enjoy art or music. Highlights include the Light and Avant-Garde Festival, with its impressive video mapping projections on the city's main monuments, and the International Festival of the Arts of Castilla y León. The city also offers a fun range of experiences and leisure activities to complete your stay, while the surrounding province is full of surprises to discover, including natural parks and historic-artistic sites.


In short, a cosmopolitan, open, pleasant, welcoming, and vibrant capital awaits you.
