Lugo, a city steeped in history, sits at the heart of the Terras do Miño Biosphere Reserve. This ancient settlement, once known as Lucus Augusti, boasts two UNESCO World Heritage sites: the Roman wall and the Cathedral. Lugo also holds significance as a key stop on the Primitive Way to Santiago.
You'll discover a wealth of Roman heritage, including the wall, a bridge, baths, and mosaics. The city's museums offer further insights into its past, with highlights such as the Domus de Mitreo, Casa dos Mosaicos, and the Provincial Museum. The Cathedral, one of Galicia's most striking, is a must-see.
After exploring, you can sample local cuisine in the 'zona de viños', a central area brimming with bars and taverns. There, you'll find Lugo's renowned tapas in spots like Praza do Campo, Rua Nova, and Rua da Cruz. The city centre's winding streets and squares add to the charm. For nature enthusiasts, an 18-kilometre promenade along the River Miño showcases the area's natural beauty, passing parks, a health resort, Roman baths, and the traditional A Ponte neighbourhood.
