Santiago de Compostela is the capital of the autonomous community of Galicia, a destination which is visited by thousands of tourists every year. Many of these arrive via the Camino de Santiago, and their ultimate goal is to reach the cathedral where the remains of the apostle are buried. But not only is it a place of pilgrimage, it's also a university city that's full of life and the gateway to the magical region of Galicia. Such is the beauty of this city that UNESCO declared its historic centre to be a World Heritage Site. It's therefore well worth renting a car, which will allow you not only to discover the city, but also all the secrets of its surroundings. To do this, Enterprise Rent-A-Car has a car rental office at the Santiago de Compostela train station.

Things to do in Santiago de Compostela

There's no question about it! The first thing to see on a visit to Santiago de Compostela is its famous cathedral. Each year, this religious construction welcomes millions of visitors who come to embrace the apostle. But this city also has a multitude of attractions that are not related to the pilgrimage route. One of those monuments is the Hostal dos Reis Católicos, built by the Catholic monarchs themselves in 1501. Another is the Pazo de Bendaña, an 18th-century palace and an example of the Compostela Baroque style. You can also see the different schools and faculties of this old university city, which will delight architecture-lovers.

Places to visit near Santiago de Compostela

Renting a vehicle gives you the freedom you need to visit the city's surroundings. An absolute must-see is the Atlantic Islands of Galicia National Park, an area of unparalleled natural value which is home to the well-known Cíes Islands. Its beauty makes the journey worthwhile, and travellers will find themselves in a paradise that seems as if it's been cherry-picked from another planet. What's more, you can take advantage of your visit to Santiago to drive to Cape Finisterre, which was long considered to be the end of the world. Its cliffs on the Atlantic Ocean are a point of inspiration for many pilgrims who decide to extend their journey here.

Parking and traffic in Santiago de Compostela

Although the city of Santiago de Compostela is a small place, it's difficult to get to the centre by car because many of the streets are pedestrianised. It's best to get as close as possible to the historic centre and park your rental vehicle in one of the public car parks available in the city. When getting around, it's best to avoid rush hours. Otherwise, Santiago de Compostela has a good road network, so you'll have no problems driving around.
