Description
Meet us at Plaza Margarita Xirgú to kick off our private tour of Mérida. Are you ready to explore the historic heart of this UNESCO World Heritage Site?
Considering this is a private tour, consider this a real-life choose-your-own-adventure opportunity! We can delve into the juxtaposition of modern Merida and ancient Augusta Emerita by strolling through the city's historic center. Or, if any particular monuments pique your interest, you can opt to pay the entrance fees, and we'll gladly accompany you on your visits. The choice is yours!
If museums or archaeological sites aren't your passion, it's not a problem! Allow us to take you through the charming old quarter, and we'll absorb the rich history of Mérida. Here, you'll encounter various street-level monuments, including the iconic Roman bridge spanning the Guadiana River and the Arch of Trajan, dating back to the first century.
As we explore Mérida, we'll come across the Temple of Diana, situated within the ancient Roman forum of the city. This sanctuary is often associated with imperial worship due to its location and architectural features. Our journey will provide insights into daily life during the time of Augusta Emerita, shedding light on the customs and practices of that era.
After 3 hours of cultural history and enrichment, we'll bring our private tour of Mérida to a close at Plaza de España.
