Discover The City

Discover the wonders of a city open to the sea through its history

After departing from the cruise terminal at Palexco or the Tuk Experience Base, the journey will begin by skirting the charming Marina, from where you can admire a spectacular view of the harbour and local maritime life. The tour then continues towards the iconic María Pita square, the heart of the city, dominated by the statue of a local heroine who defended the city against an English attack in the 16th century. Next, you’ll head to the 16th-century Castle of San Antón, home to the Archaeological and Historical Museum.

You’ll also pass by the Control Tower, a key point in maritime management, and the ancient walls of the Old City that tell tales of battles and protection. The seafront will offer refreshing views of the Atlantic, culminating at the majestic Tower of Hercules. Here, you’ll have a chance to capture memorable photographs; this Roman lighthouse is the oldest functioning one in the world and offers unparalleled panoramic views.

The journey will resume towards Orzán and Riazor Beaches, two of the most frequented spots by locals and visitors. Watch as the Riazor football stadium stands proud, home to Deportivo La Coruña, and feel the vibrant activity in Pontevedra and Lugo Square.

As the end of the tour approaches, you’ll admire the historic Banco Pastor building and the Obelisk, a popular meeting point in the city. Finally, you’ll return to the cruise terminal or tuk experience base, completing a unique tourist experience that combines history, culture, and scenic beauty, all from the comfort and sustainability of a tuk tuk. If you decide to start your tour at the Tower of Hercules, the itinerary will unfold from then on with the stop at the Castle of San Antón.
