The port is famous worldwide for the ancient Torre de Hercules, the oldest Roman lighthouse still in operation and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Cruisers come here for the blend of maritime history, fresh Galician seafood (especially pulpo a la gallega and empanada), and easy access to the rugged Costa da Morte and the inland Camino de Santiago routes.

Cultural highlights include the lively Plaza de María Pita with its daily markets and festivals, the glass-and-stone architecture of the old town, and the city’s strong Celtic heritage celebrated with traditional music at the annual Festival del Mar. Many travelers also explore the nearby Rías Baixas wine region or the dramatic cliffs and beaches just beyond the city.
