What travellers are saying
- JSTrip_77Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina1,185 contributionsWalking along the walls is an excellent way to get another perspective of Avila and a chance to walk on the restored and maintained visa that runs most of the way around the city. (The walls continue but you cannot walk the entire way around to my knowledge.) If you chose not to walk the walls, you can still get a very good sense of the city and take some amazing pictures of them. The only other European city in which I have ever seen anything this intact is in Carcassonne in southern France. Take advantage!Written 20 November 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- JSTrip_77Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina1,185 contributionsThis is one of those European churches which has been enlarged and changed so many time over hundreds, actually, over 1000 years and now has elements that span so many different eras. For me, the most impressive element was not even the building itself but rather the ornate tomb which includes intricately carved and colored figures. It was a bit annoying that everything in Avila required a separate ticket. I did not mind at all paying for the upkeep of these treasures but a package ticket would have been nice.Written 20 November 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Eduardo YSao Paulo, SP230 contributionsLocated in the medieval city of Ávila (Unesco Heritage Site), it is one of the oldest Cathedrals built in Spain. Its construction is estimated to be dated back to the 1000’s.Written 13 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- WorldWideWizSydney, Australia4 contributionsI hiked here in 2005 with friends from Madrid.

- GMPHNCupertino, CA6 contributionsWe just dropped by on our last day in Avila, to look for gifts in the gift store, but we were so glad we came. This is a lovely, quiet place of prayer & museum that helps you get a sense for how St. Teresa lived. During her lifetime she was frustrated with how unspiritual this monastery was, but clearly it has become a true place of prayer. The docent was really kind & gave us a tour in Spanish that we fumbled to understand with Google translate—-but her kindness & love forGod spoke louder than words. The young women volunteering in the gift shop also radiated God’s love. If you are hoping to connect with the legacy of St. Teresa, this is a wonderful place to visit—-far better than the other Teresian shrine inside the city.Written 29 October 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- DuquesadinerGlasgow, UK1,403 contributionsPark the car and get out and walk, it is the only way to see the old town. Lots of little squares and narrow streets to navigate. There are a couple of hotels near the cathedral that should be visited, nothing to look at from the outside but beautiful cloistered galleries on different levels surrounding dining rooms. There is a Plaza Mayor of sorts but we felt it was a little soulless.Written 27 July 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Maria I. ACommunity of Madrid, Spain90 contributionsHere you could understand why the bees are fundamental for our lives!
It is an instructive talk about bees and in the end you can interact with them.

It would be an ideal place to sit out with a copa, but, unfortunately, the plaza appears to be residential, with only the museum (open weekends and bank holidays only) open to the public. Bring your camera.Written 26 February 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Sandra LWarwick, Australia454 contributionsOnly open Sat & Sunday & we visited on a Thursday. Nil signage in English neither here or anywhere in the town. Look at the history of this Castle & Isobel the Catholic Queen on Wikipedia-fascinating.
Apparently this Castle was used/possibly restored for a series about Isobel on Spanish TV.
Don't think there is much inside but the external views and photos made the detour off the autovia well worthwhile.Written 10 November 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
