Our first stop will be at the majestic Tower of Hercules, the oldest Roman lighthouse in the world still in operation and declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here you will have the opportunity to explore the surroundings of this impressive monument, enjoy views of the Atlantic Ocean, and learn about its fascinating history, from its construction in Roman times to its current importance as a symbol of A Coruña. to climb to the top of the Tower of Hercules you have to climb stairs. There are approximately 234 steps. There is no elevator or alternative ramp access, so WE WILL NOT CLIMB THE TOWER.
