Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    The view from Mediterráneo balcony is amazing, the main street La Rambla Nuova leeds from tahat point to monument od Catallan human tower. We saw old Romans monuments, circ, amfiteatar.
    We saw gothic cathedral, biggest in that part...very nice and everything is very close...

    Large, 3 level, Roman acqueduct. Served the city of Tarraco, capital of Roman Iberia. You can access an aire with parking and a viewing platform for photos off the AP7.

    Normally you can go down a path on foot to see from below, but the path was closed for repairs. I think that was the bit the TA computer didn’t like

    At the end of the Rambla there’s a balustrade and you look out across the railway and beach below to the Mediterranean beyond

    We did an antiquities tour of the city and this was the first stop. Very impressive remnants of the Roman era in Spain. If you like to search for Rome in this part of the world, this is your first stop.

    Roman amphitheatre below the Balcony of the Mediterranean. Between the forum and the sea. Huge. Not as well preserved as some in Italy, but still breathtaking.

    The Old Town of Tarragona is located in the upper part of the city. It is a labyrinth of narrow streets lined by old buildings. The terraces of charming squares offer resting places during sightseeing.

    Tarraco was founded in 218 BC by the Romans. For several centuries it boasted of being the largest province capital of the empire. Later, with the fall of the Roman Empire, it was devastated by the Visigoths, conquered by the Muslims, and re-conquered a few centuries later by the Christians.

    So there are many historical periods that have left their footprints here.

    We were out on a long walk around town after seeing the antiquities, so of course we came to this very grand broad avenue where you will find lots of shopping, food and coffee. Very pretty, very moden.

    We did a guided antiquities tour of this old Roman city, so he took us to part of the old city walls, which are still around, still impressive and show that this was a major outpost of the Empire.

    Small square on the edge of the old part of the city. This building has been skillfully painted to show some of the character of the city

    One of the biggest open squares in town, a place for lunch on a sunny day. Lots of cafes for eating and drinking and some official buildings. One of the city centers.

    This maritime neighborhood has become a big attraction because of its seafood restaurants and privileged location right by the sea.

    We were here on Sunday and couldn't find a vacant table for lunch. So it is advisable to make a table reservation if you want to eat here.

    Very detailed model which really puts the Roman remains that you have spent time viewing, when wandering around Tarragona, into perspective. Worth a look.
