Bonita catedral románica y gótica, puedes visitar la catedral y el claustro, también el jardín desde el que tienes unas vistas inmejorables al río Miño, al otro lado del río ves Portugal y mirando hacia adelante el pueblo de Tui que te rodea hacie arriba. Excelentes fotos. Luego puedes quedarte a comer ya que hay varios restaurantes, unas bonitas calles empedradas, puedes bajar al embarcadero en el río y subir a unas bonitas plazas que hay arriba. Yo fui a pasar el día y me gustó mucho, además me hizo un clima inmejorable.
We visited Tui Cathedral during our recent trip to Tui. It's a fine cathedral, a proper one with a bishop and has been around since the mid 13th century. Tui sits on a hill and the cathedral has served as both a cathedral and a fortress since then. This means that from the outside it possibly lacks the grace of other cathedrals in Spain, like Leon and Burgos, but it has a rough charm that appealed to us. The portico is particularly fine, with excellent carvings around the doorway. The inside is the usual mixture of altars and excellent stonework and vaults. There are cloisters that you can visit, but when we were there, we were told that there was only a tour available at 6pm for 6€ each - this seemed a bit steep for what it was, although there was a museum included in this price too. The cathedral was free to enter, so I was surprised at the cost of the cloisters. Because the cathedral is surrounded by many other buildings, you don't really get the perspective on the scale. For that, you have to be either at the bottom of the hill by the river, or even better, look at it from across the river in Valenca in Portugal. From there, viewing it from that fortress, you really get a good sense of the two fortresses facing each other across the border.It is a great place to visit. Many people do come here as part of the Portuguese route of the Camino de Santiago. Certainly worth a trip.
La Catedral es el principal monumento de la ciudad, encontrándose en lo más alto de la colina, dominando el pueblo. Hay un agradable paseo por sus alrededoes, siempre por el casco antiguo. Su interior merece la pena, pues hay varios retablos, un magnífico órgano, coros, claustro, visita a las cubiertas por poco precio, etc. Aunque no seas religioso es una visita que merece la pena por lo laborioso de las tallas que guarda en su interior.
Tui is on the Camino Portugues Route, a route that starts from Lisbon to Santiago, Spain. From the Fortaleza in Valenca, Portugal, I was able to take pictures of the Cathedral from a distance. We started our hike from Valenca early in the morning, eager to get to Tui and do a bit of sightseeing before we continued on our hike to the next town on our agenda. I was certainly not disappointed at all with this old, charming town. A good hike up the hill to get to the Cathedral which combines Roman and Gothic architecture. Quite an impressive cathedral!
This cathedral is different from any other I have visited. Smaller, and most original. The side chapels are quite original and charming, and the organ is very beautiful. It is quite worth the visit.
Find time for a stop in Tui...the Cathedral is very impressive and of course worth a look. Stop for a drink on the main square and watch the world go by for a few moments and admire the old balconied buildings with intricately decorated windows - faded glory...Walk to views of the River close by. Take the opportunity to drive ( or walk!) over the Tui Bridge to Valenca in Portugal. The Bridge itself is beautiful and was built in "Eiffel" like style.
The tiny city of Tui is a gem.Not only a Cathedral,old town and river walks,a walk across the bridge over the Minho river and you can visit Portugal.The resturants are varied and friendly.Tourist office can supply maps and timetables.
We walked from Valenca to the village and visited the cathedral. As with many cathedrals this one was also very impressive in its grandeur.
Es una catedral bonita, especialmente recomendable el efecto de visitarla de noche, al igual que recorrer las calles aledañas, tan similares a la ciudad vieja de Coruña o Santiago.
Catedral de visita obrigatória quando visitar Tui/Espanha. Tipica das catedrais deste País. A zona envolvente é toda ela disponibilizada com casas de tapas e petiscos.
