Tarragona is the only Catalan city that has been declared a World Heritage Site and has received this distinction three times from Unesco: for its Roman legacy, for its castells (human towers) and for its Mediterranean gastronomy (blue fish).

It is an attractive city for its history and its cultural and sporting activities. The castells and the major festivals attract citizens and tourists who visit us, and Tarragona has been recognised as one of the 50 best places to visit in 2023 by the New York Times.

Our city, open on the Mediterranean, is consolidated as a natural destination with Tamarit and its 15 km of coastline that give rise to its beaches of fine golden sand and crystalclear water where its paths, beaches and green spaces make up an ideal environment in which to enjoy a dream day with the family.

To these attractions, we can add a great eno-gastronomic potential; let's combine a unique sauce such as romesco with our Mediterranean gastronomy and accompany it with an excellent glass of white Macabeu wine, Tarragona DO, which could well be tasted in the Serrallo, our typical fishermen's quarter.

If for the historian and poet Lucius Annaeus Florus, Tarraco was the city of eternal spring, today, for our cruise passengers, Tarragona is the Mediterranean city of history. In Tarragona, history emerges from the stones, from the books and comes to life next to the Mare Nostrum. Visit Tarragona, a city born of the Mediterranean and its port, you will discover your history!
