One of the most popular areas to stay is the city centre, particularly around the medieval Old Town (Casco Viejo). Here, narrow streets radiate from the Plaza de la Virgen Blanca, and travellers are immersed in historical architecture, such as the gothic Cathedral of Santa Maria. Boutique hotels and charming guesthouses provide comfortable and convenient lodging amongst the city's main attractions.
For those who prefer a more modern and lively atmosphere, the Ensanche area is an excellent choice. It's centrally located and boasts wider boulevards, with a variety of shops, restaurants, and bars. The main street, Avenida Gasteiz, is the hub of contemporary city life and provides an extensive range of accommodations from luxury to budget-friendly options.
Nature enthusiasts might opt to stay near Salburua Park, to the east of the city centre. Here, modern hotels are situated close to the green heart of Vitoria-Gasteiz, offering a quieter environment and access to the wetlands, where visitors can enjoy walking trails and observe diverse wildlife.
Vitoria-Gasteiz boasts an efficient public transport system with a network of trams and buses that facilitate easy movement around the city. The tram lines connect key districts and attractions, while the comprehensive bus service reaches outlying areas and neighbourhoods. For those who prefer to drive, the city's layout is driver-friendly, although parking in the centre can be limited.
