Plan Your Christmas Break
The tree, illuminated streets, Ferris wheel and Christmas stalls can easily fill an afternoon and evening. Follow our ideas for exploring central Vigo before returning to your apartment in Redondela.
Porta do Sol is a favourite stop for enjoying Vigo's Christmas atmosphere. Visit the tree around dusk and leave time for photos and a walk through the surrounding streets.
Continue around Príncipe and Policarpo Sanz, linking the central shopping streets. Take your time to enjoy the decorations, stop for something to eat and discover the illuminated corners of the city.
Some installations and shows change location between editions. Check the current season's map before planning your route.
Include the Alameda and Compostela gardens in your walk. The Ferris wheel and Christmas stalls are two of the main attractions in this part of Vigo during the festive season.
Allow time for queues if you want to go on a ride or stop for food. Check this edition's locations, tickets and opening times before you visit.
Continue towards the waterfront to combine the Christmas atmosphere with views across the Vigo estuary.
For a different festive experience, take a look at Mar de Ons' Barco do Nadal. It offers a way to enjoy the Christmas atmosphere from the estuary.
Check dates, departures and available options with the operator. Sightseeing and dinner options depend on the programme; confirm what your ticket includes.
Before visiting Vigo, enjoy a walk through central Redondela, see its viaducts and have lunch near your apartment. Spend the morning discovering your surroundings and the afternoon enjoying the lights.
Morning in Redondela: breakfast in your apartment and a walk through the town centre. Afternoon in Vigo: arrive with time to spare and explore Porta do Sol and the illuminated streets. After dusk: enjoy the Ferris wheel, stalls and festive atmosphere at your own pace.
