Cannot fault the MEGA staff and experience. They accommodated us at very short notice and provided an English speaking guide just for us. Oscar was very friendly and knowledgeable and took very good care of us for the whole tour. Would recommend this tour we really enjoyed it.

This was a military fort but now turned into a beautiful park with historic information posted everywhere.
Reviewed By CraneSmith - Zaragoza, Spain
On our last day in A Coruña, we decided to head the opposite way from the Torre de Hércules and go to the Monte San Pedro. Since we walked from the town we came across the Elevator panorámico and it was a fabulous way to get up to the park. Luckily, the weather was perfect - sunny, reasonably gentle breeze, perfect temps; I’m not sure I would want to be up there in nasty or wet conditions. The park itself is just gorgeous - wonderful green fields with incredible views of the city and then out to the sea, including several (very) large gun emplacements from WW II. A word of caution: there is a restaurant on top but it is a Michelin-starred establishment, much, much heavier and much more formal than we were after. In other words, grab a couple of boccadillos ahead of time and enjoy the incredible views, flowering trees, and lovely grounds.

We’ve been to this square many times and it has a real presence. Enjoy a drink or some food in the bars that are positioned on the square and take in the atmosphere of a remarkable setting.

This is the reason why La Coruña is known as "La ciudad de cristal". It is worth taking a leisurely stroll down this avenue.

9. Castle of San Anton

Reviewed By R4935FDdavidb - El Barco de Avila, Spain
The Castle has been a fortress, a governor's residence and a prison in its history and now houses the City's archaeological and historical museum. This has some good exhibits from Roman times as well as some gold treasures from the iron and bronze ages. The exhibits are well displayed on the ground floor which you enter through the parade ground - and here larger stone exhibits from the region are housed in the former powder stores. You can then see the cistern which supplied the fort with fresh water - a large cavernous space beneath the castle and a garden area with views over the harbour. Upstairs is the old Governor's residence and more modern dislpays, including the chapel. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this very well preserved monument. There is a fee of 3 euros to enter, but seniors get a reduction of 1 euro.

Playa de Riazor is located in the center of the city. It is definitively one of the most beautiful urban beaches of Europe. This is a great place to relax and to explore the rest of the city. From here you can go to Monte de San Pedro, a beautiful place with amazing panoramic views.
