What you will see in Santander during a Sightseeing tour

Embarking on a sightseeing tour in Santander is akin to flipping through the pages of an open-air museum, where the splendor of northern Spain comes alive through its architecture, beaches, and lush gardens. This city, gracefully reclined along the shores of the Bay of Biscay, is a trove of scenic views and cultural landmarks. With our company, Happytripz, guiding your journey, you’re assured that Santander will not just be another destination, but a vivid experience that will linger in your memory like the city's enchanting sunsets.

Stroll through the Gardens of Magdalena Peninsula

Beginning with the Magdalena Peninsula, a lush expanse filled with verdant gardens and dotted with regal buildings, your sightseeing adventure is off to a royal start. Here, you can marvel at the Palacio de la Magdalena, once the summer residence for Spanish royalty. As you take in the grandeur of the palace, don’t forget to enjoy the panoramic vistas of the bay it overlooks. Exploring the palace grounds on one of our Happytripz sightseeing tours can make you feel like you’re part of an illustrious past.

Discover the Gothic Beauty of Santander Cathedral

The heart of Santander's historical legacy beats within the walls of its Cathedral. This architectural jewel embodies the Gothic beauty and storied past of the city, housing both the relics of martyr Saint Emeterius and an array of artistic treasures. Within its serene cloisters, the echoes of history whisper the tales of bygone eras, making it an essential stop on any tour.

Bask in the Urban Retreat of Pereda Gardens

For a peaceful respite, the Pereda Gardens serve as a verdant sanctuary amidst the city's bustle. These well-manicured lawns, complemented by an assortment of sculptures and monuments, offer a tranquil space where visitors can absorb the charm of Santander.

Delight in the White Sands of El Sardinero Beach

No visit to Santander is complete without setting foot on the white sands of El Sardinero Beach. One of the most celebrated beaches in northern Spain, its inviting waves and promenades lined with belle-époque buildings provide a picturesque backdrop for relaxation and leisure. El Sardinero is a testament to the elegance that epitomizes Santander’s relation with the Cantabrian Sea.

Wander through the Time Capsule of Centro Botin

The Centro Botin is a striking modern art center that not only houses amazing contemporary exhibitions but also serves as a brilliant example of the city’s embrace of avant-garde architecture. Suspended over the bay, this glistening structure designed by Renzo Piano harmoniously integrates with the surrounding seascape and is a hallmark of modern ingenuity in Santander.

Experience the Majesty of Cabo Mayor Lighthouse

Perched upon the cliff of Cabo Mayor, the iconic lighthouse stands as a guardian of the coast. For those who appreciate a touch of maritime romance combined with awe-inspiring views, this lighthouse is a beacon that cannot be missed.

Discovering Santander through this tour was a highlight of my trip! Each stop had its own charm and the guide made sure we didn't miss any hidden gems. It's a fantastic way to see the city's historical landmarks and beautiful beaches, especially if you're short on time. The small group size made the experience more personal and comfortable.
