The historic center, a world heritage site, is visited almost exclusively on foot. You can walk in extraordinary places, with a thousand-year history. Alternatively, for short distances, you could opt for the bike. In the city, you will find several agencies. Buses, which are quite comfortable and efficient, are the ideal solution for getting around Tarragona, for medium to long distance distances.
CAR
The car is a recommended solution to reach the city, and certainly not to move to Tarragona. Our advice is to leave the car in the parking lot, or directly at the facility where you are staying.
