The mixture of Islamic and Gothic architecture within the palace walls tells a story of the city's layered history. Remnants of ornate stucco work and stunning arches will transport you back to a time of regal opulence. The palace is so significant that it has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its Mudéjar Architecture. For art enthusiasts, the Zaragoza Museum is a sanctuary of artistic expression hosting an impressive collection that spans from the ancient Romans to the contemporary era. The hall devoted to Goya displays some of his celebrated etchings, highlighting the city's connection with the artist.

Visiting Zaragoza's landmarks was made easy with the hop-on hop-off bus service. The commentary in several languages was informative, and being able to explore at my own pace was perfect. I saw so much more than I would have on foot, and it was great value for money.

The wine country excursion just outside Zaragoza was superb. Not only did we get to taste some exquisite local wines, but we also learned about the winemaking process and the region's history. The vineyards were incredibly picturesque, and the guides made the experience even more delightful.
