The Monastery of San Juan de los Reyes was built in 1476 by the order of the Catholic Kings. With gothic style, this Franciscan building impresses with its two-story cloister full of sculptures and decorative elements, as well as its interior. On a sunny day, it is simply marvelous, but even on a cloudy day it can take your breath away. There is an entry fee of 4€.

Don’t forget to buy some ‘mazapanes’ (marzipans) at the little stores across from the entrance.

It’s the third biggest gothic style cathedral of the world, only surpassed by those in Seville and Milan. It took more than 250 years to build, and the views from the interior are even better than the exterior. Originally it had the 2nd biggest bell worldwide, but its fate comes with a funny story. We’ll save that story for the tour guides to tell you.

The entry pass is 10€ (or it may be included in some tours) and offers audio guides. Again, we recommend visiting the cathedral with a guide.

This is the world's most celebrated Renaissance Fair! In Puy du Fou, there are epic shows with dozens of dancers, outstanding scenarios, fights, horses, and fireworks. In short, this is a mediaeval castle theme park with shows designed to transport you back in time. This is a great activity with and without children.
