Free Tour Pamplona by Trip Navarra: History Walk

Pamplona, the vibrant capital of Spain’s Navarre region, offers more than its famed running of the bulls. Trip Navarra’s Free Tour Pamplona invites visitors into the heart of this historic city, offering a walking journey that reveals its layered past and architectural marvels. Starting from Plaza del Castillo, a lively square pulsing with local energy and surrounded by cafes, the tour begins where modern life meets centuries of history.

The guide leads you through iconic sites like the Ayuntamiento — Pamplona’s town hall — showcasing its classic Renaissance architecture and civic importance. From there, the tour moves to the Church of San Cernin, an imposing Gothic structure dedicated to the city’s patron saint, Saint Saturninus. Here, the stone walls whisper tales of medieval faith and resilience.

Participants walk along the infamous encierro route, the narrow streets where thrill-seekers race alongside bulls during the San Fermín festival each July. This path offers an extraordinary connection to a tradition that shapes Pamplona’s identity worldwide.

Sectored by centuries-old city walls, views from these historic fortifications highlight the city's layout amid the rolling hills of Navarre; the contrast between lush greens just beyond and urban stone streets inside is striking. The tour culminates at the Cathedral of Santa María la Real, a majestic Romanesque-Gothic church whose towering spires and sculpted details demand attention.

This tour is a practical, immersive introduction to a city often overshadowed by its festivals but rich with stories that forge a genuine sense of place.
