With 7 days in Pamplona, you'll have time to experience the city's highlights. Beyond the festival's famous red scarves, Pamplona reveals a sophisticated, green city with elegant boulevards like the Paseo de Sarasate and tranquil parks like the Parque de la Taconera, where deer roam in a sunken moat. The city's dual identity—part vibrant Basque capital, part historic Navarrese stronghold—is palpable in its architecture, from the Gothic spires of the Cathedral of Santa María la Real to the modernist lines of the Palacio de Navarra.

Baluarte del Redín & Caballo Blanco Viewpoint
A lesser-visited section of the city walls behind the Cathedral, offering the most breathtaking panoramic view of the Arga River, the Magdalena bridge, and the northern neighborhoods.

Ensanche (The Expansion)
The elegant 19th-century expansion built after the city walls were partially dismantled. Characterized by wide, grid-patterned boulevards, grand civic buildings, and upscale shopping. The atmosphere is more formal and residential than the Old Town, offering a refined contrast with plenty of green spaces.
💡 Tip: Don't miss: Paseo de Sarasate, Palacio de Navarra (Regional Government), Parliament of Navarre.
Museo Universidad de Navarra
A stunning contemporary art museum on the university campus, designed by architect Rafael Moneo, housing the prestigious María Josefa Huarte collection of 20th-century Spanish art.
💡 Tip: Its world-class collection (including works by Tàpies, Chillida, and Oteiza) is often overlooked by tourists, and the building itself is an architectural masterpiece in a serene setting.
Calle de los Caldereros
A tiny, sloping alley in the Old Town, officially part of the Camino de Santiago, marked with bronze scallop shells embedded in the cobblestones.
💡 Tip: Walking this quiet, atmospheric street lets you literally follow the pilgrim's path through the city, away from the main tourist bustle.

Master the art of the pintxo crawl: Pamplona is a paradise for foodies, with a pintxo culture rivaling San Sebastián. Wander the streets of the Old Town, hopping from legendary bars like Bar Gaucho (for their solomillo) and Café Iruña (Hemingway's haunt) to innovative spots like Sorginzulo, tasting miniature culinary masterpieces paired with local Navarrese wines.
Walk in the footsteps of pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago: As a major stop on the French Way, Pamplona is imbued with Camino spirit. Follow the iconic scallop shell markers through the city gate, visit the 12th-century Cathedral where pilgrims received blessings, and feel the unique camaraderie at the historic Albergue de Jesús y María.
