What to See with a Car Rental in Santiago de Compostela

The Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela and its museum is the final destination for this popular pilgrimage known as the Camino. At the cathedral, you will find a shrine to the relics of St James, the patron saint of Spain. The cathedral is located in the historic town square of Praza do Obradoiro. If you have walked the Camino as a pilgrim, you may wish to continue your visit to Santiago de Compostela in a rental car instead. Visit the nearby Parque da Alameda, a beautiful park with stunning views of the city. Take a historic walk through the old town, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Explore the several historic plazas around the city, some of which are part of the pilgrims' path to the cathedral. Take a road trip out of the city to visit U.S. architect Peter Eisenman's City of Culture. It's a huge, organic architectural project that visually represents the hills of Santiago. The Galician Contemporary Arts Centre and the Museum of Galician People nearby are both worth a visit. A car rental at Santiago de Compostela will ensure that you can explore all there is to see in a short visit and it is the most convenient way to discover Galicia.
