Bus Tours
Incolsa (tel: (981) 555 129) offers a guided bus tour of Santiago de Compostela and the surrounding region – excluding the pedestrian-only areas of the Old Quarter. The tour, which takes approximately one hour, sets off from Costa de San Francisco, near the Catedral, in the Old Quarter, with departures from 1000. The tour incorporates seven stops (including Alameda, Praza de Glicia and the Area Central Centro Commercial) where passengers can hop off and catch a later bus.
Other Tours
A little train goes round the city at a leisurely pace and takes in the main sights. The tour takes about 30 minutes and the train leaves every half hour between 1000-1930 from outside the Cathedral (mid-March to the end of Oct only).
