Things to do
What to see and do in Cáceres
See
The Old Town is the primary reason why people visit Caceres for tourism, and its medieval streets have almost all of the museums and culturally-significant buildings. This is an interesting elongated plaza at the base of the "Upper" City. It has the primary collection of restaurants in town. It is picturesque and a great starting point to see medieval-style buildings such as the Ayuntamiento (City Hall), towers (Horno, Yerba, Bujaco), and an old city gate (Arco de Estrella). Toward the newer part of the city, there is the 13th-century John the Baptist Church (San Juan Bautista) on Paseo de Canova. Paseo Canovas is a nice tree-lined street that is a great place to walk during the hot months.
