We tried to go to Compastella using public transport but when we got to the train station. All seats had been sold for that particular train and because of the infrequency of trains, we decided to skip and just walk around the town. It was nice enough for a stroll around. ...
Too bad there was a lot of rain on and off all day while we were at this point. The walking tour was interesting, but we spent a lot of time inside churches rather than outside to the pouring rain.
In the afternoon, I walked to the lighthouse and thoroughly enjoyed myself in this remarkable city. ...
We have visit before
Ship docks virtually in town
Most people exit to the right to walk to the lighthouse
If you go left for a few hundred yards then right
It is fairly easy to get to the nice beach on the other side
Nice place to wander around
Very limited duty free
...
Attractive port, 2nd best visit on the cruise after Cadiz, and walking distance from ship to town so no rip off shuttle bus fares. Aquarium and 'Roman' lighthouse- rebuilt completely in the 1700s- are recommended and very reasonably priced attractions ...
Great little 'city'. There is plenty of tat to buy from street traders. I would highly recommend the restaurant 'la tagliatelle ' where we went for lunch. Amazing Italian food. The beach is great, but pack some footwear as it is glassy sand. ...
Last minute, Viking's reputation for seamless travel (which it achieved), cruise ports (unhappy to have lost Liverpool without explanation). La Coruna is a true gem and is slated for a return visit--nice people, lots to see, great vibe. ...
The centre of this modern city is easily reached from the cruise pier -- a short walk to the main streets. I took a tour to Santiago de Compostela, so didn't spend any actual time in La Coruna. ...
Guide didn't offer much. especially on motorway journey could have given some background. Marquis home was fantastic. Great history, architecture and views. ...
