Highlights of Santiago de Compostela

Sightsee in Santiago de Compostela, the city marking the finish line of the famous medieval pilgrimage route.
Explore Santiago de Compostela, the capital of Galicia, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the end-destination of the Way of St. James — a medieval pilgrimage route also called Camino de Santiago. Visit the legendary Plaza del Obradoiro, home to the historic cathedral where the silver urn with the ashes of St. James is kept in a small crypt. Stroll the streets at your own pace before sitting for snacks at the luxurious Hostal dos Reis Católicos, renowned as one of the oldest hotels in the world.
