San Pablo Bridge
15 min
Saint Paul Bridge, designed by the Eiffel school, proposes a nice walk for the audacious and an adventure for the vertiginous, but everyone feels that they are located in one of the best sites in the city. The visitors have a similar feeling at the Castle District, where they can have an experience full of emotions looking towards the deep gorges from its viewpoints
Casas Colgadas
Admission included30 min
The most well-known tourist attraction of the city are the Hanging Houses, an example of typical architecture in Cuenca, where the balconies invite you to simply observe the abyss. They have become the watchword and signal of the city. Other example of this local architecture are the Skyscrapers of San Martin, the first ten-floor buildings of the world
Inside the emblematic Hanging Houses we will find one of the most significant artistic exhibitions from the middle 20th century: The Museum of Abstract Art. This museum showcases hundreds of pictures and sculptures from the abstract generation of the fifties and the sixties, which continues, in a certain way, the innovative ideas of Picasso, Miró and Gris. One can enjoy Art works made by Canogar, Chillida, Feito, Millares, Oteiza, Tapies, Torner and Zóbel.
Convento de San Pablo
15 min
Our visit ends a few meters from the convent, after crossing the Saint Paul Bridge

Excellent.
In fact the booked tour did not happen, but the agency offered me a tour the next day with a 50% discount. I did not regret accepting it, as it was very good and more compelling. The guide Lara and the driver Gregorio da Cuenqueando were grade 1000. Lara has deep knowledge of the region and the history, always very cheerful, kind and attentive.

An unexpected surprise that exceeded all expectations
A 200% recommended visit. The views of nature and the city are phenomenal, I took many photos. It is worth spending the entire day to visit the Cathedral, the Monastery and the hanging houses. Our guide, Paty, demonstrated extensive knowledge of history, popular culture, art and architecture and knew how to convey everything with enthusiasm and simplicity.
The agency was very friendly and kindly resolved a difference that occurred. I totally recommend them

COMPLETE AND FUN!
Very complete and, above all, very funny. Despite being somewhat long (4 hours), our guide Felix turned the visit into a pleasant, fun, but not empty of content. On the contrary, it can be said to be very complete, in all aspects: historical, artistic, anecdotal, etc.
A 10 for Felix.
Operator response
En 4 horas da para mucho, pero es que la ciudad lo tiene y lo merece. Lo ideal sería hacer un tour de 8 horas, pero lo hemos "condensado" para ofrecer una selección con lo mejor. Muhcas gracias por disfrutar con nosotr@s y les esperamos pronto. Saludos!

Mandatory visit
Felix our super fun guide. In addition to the amazing visit around the city, he took us to the museum of abstract art and gave good brushstrokes of each artist, plus a very good visit in the Cathedral has been great
Operator response
Pues solo han conocido la ciudad, pero es que el entorno no tiene nada que envidiar. Con nuestras excursiones por el río Cuervo y la Ciudad Encantada seguró que hubiera quedado aún más contento. Le esperamos para que lo compruebe!
