Tourism in Vitoria-Gasteiz

A romantic extension with Los Arquillos, Plaza de España and Plaza de la Virgen Blanca and a modern urbanism embraced by a spectacular Green Ring and a good quality of life.

Nor should we forget its cultural aspect, perfectly represented by the Basque Centre-Museum of Contemporary Art Artium and the BIBAT – Museum Fournier of Naipes, and the sport with great events like the Triathlon.

Enjoy its gastronomy, txakoli (young, fruity and slightly sparkling wine) and the wines of Rioja Alavesa that are produced less than an hour from the capital in a spectacular wine-growing landscape with wineries of famous architects and the oldest wine cellars.
