1. Have a tapa, preferable Iberian ham and a drink at the Plaza mayor. Get to the Spanish way of life.
2. Get yourself in shape by going up the belfry(Ieronimus) medieval towers with a spectacular view. Inside both cathedrals and of the city.
3. Visit both cathedrals. Yes, here in Salamanca, we have 2 cathedrals, and they are both still in use. Start the visit in the 12th century and end up in the 17th century.
4. Salamanca, the oldest university city in Spain. It still has its historical building with its breathtaking facade and beautiful patios.
5. Have a stroll over the roman bridge and along the river and enjoy the sight of the city.
6. Casa Lis Art Nouveau and Art Deco Museum, a treasure of Salamanca. With one of the most important puppet collections of Europe and a beautiful collection of Chryselephantines, fine sculptures of ivory and bronze. There is a combined ticket with a visit option to the Automobile Museum with a private collection. If you are a car lover, it is a must-visit place.
7. Shell house, a peculiar building which is now used as a public library with a patio worthwhile a visit.
8. If you are still in shape, get up the towers of Scala Coeli (stairway to heaven). Again, but in a very different way, spectacular views of the city.
9. St. Stephan church and convent. Home of one of the most influential monks. Francisco de Vitoria. Emperor Charles V wanted him to be present at the Council of Trent. This man was the founder of international law and a defender of the rights of the people.
