  Salamanca is an easy town to explore on foot. There is beauty wherever you look. The side streets are quaint and there are photo ops everywhere you turn. You are surrounded by beautifully preserved historical sights everywhere you go. The University is fun to visit and talking to the students and hearing about the capes they are wearing is fascinating.Had lunch and a flamenco show at the Alameda Palace Hotel. The setup of the room was difficult to negotiate but the food was very good.

  Salamanca has many great buildings and restaurants. The city has many things to see and not stuffed with thousands of tourists. Other cities are close that are worth seeing. People are friendly and worth a day or two to visit and take in the historical sites and University. :)

  Salamanca is one of the most beautiful cities we have been to. This is our second visit and there is always something new to see. It will not be our last visit either. It is well worth a stop over if your traveling through this side of Spain.

  Excellent for a walk through history! I went here on an organized trip back in 2005 when in Spain.It is really nice to walk through the Old Salamanca Historic city ... one of Spain's most historic sites particularly because of the ancient university.

  Salamanca's Old Town is a magical trip back into history. The city has Gothic architecture with an underlying Renaissance tendency. You have the impression you are in Florence only without its many museums. Some streets take you back into the 12thc or 15thc century. Go visit the Roman bridge, walk down calle Compañía, Meléndez, la Rua, San Pablo, Serranos, Libreros, go see the Facade of the Old University, el Patio de Escuelas, and you will fall forever in love with this city. Take a walk during the daytime and at night. In the yellowish light of classical lampposts you will feel a dream come true. On foggy nights, the atmosphere is even more magical,

  Salamanca was one of the first universities in europe and one of the greatest- youhave to visit the libraries - the class rooms - the church- spent a large time in the cathedral and the museumThen go to the plaza mayor and enjoy a drink - don't forget a nice lunch or dinner in the old taverns -and why not buying a jamon de bellota - a great time indeed

  You can walk for hours, if not days, around the old part of Salamanca. Around every corner you will discover beautiful buildings. If a door is open, peer inside as you can often find wonderful courtyards and interiors.

  Salamanca is a beautiful city with many Renaissance buildings all built from the same stone and some lovely squares and gardens. The Plaza Mayor is particularly impressive. If staying outside the old town it is a steep walk up into the town but well worth the effort.
