Much of Tarragona is a relic from its days as the Roman colony of Tarraco, so the National Archaeological Museum of Tarragona is an excellent place to start learning about the region's history. A visit to the Casa Museu Castellarnau, a restored aristocratic residence, is also worth a stop. After, tour the Amfiteatre Roma, an arena situated on the Mediterranean and dating back to the 2nd century, or explore the tombs in the Necropolis. In the medieval Old Town, you'll find pieces of the Forum that also still stand.
Tarragona is a popular attraction for many reasons, but among the most notable are its sandy beaches, thrilling nightlife, and incredible, seafood-heavy food scene. Catch an outdoor concert or performance at Camp de Mart, or soak up some sun on the sandy coast of L'Arrabassada Beach. Enjoy one of the many festivals that pop up throughout the year, from the traditional Santa Tecla Festival to the jazz-infused Tarragona International Dixieland Festival. But no matter how you spend your days, end each night with tapas and endless Cava before heading back to your Tarragona vacation rental.
Much of the region is steeped in sunshine nearly all year long, but May, June, and September are the best months to enjoy warm temps and low hotel rates. July and August are hot and crowded, but compared to other top summer destinations in Europe, it's rarely as stifling. February through April and October through November won't give you much in the way of beach days, but the largely pleasant weather still makes way for enjoyable sightseeing. Winters are the only time you can expect unpredictable and cold weather that may put a damper on things.
Situated in Spain's historic and gorgeous region of Catalonia, the port city of Tarragona is bordered by the Balearic Sea on one side, and set against the backdrop of the Costa Daurada Mountains on the other. Tarragona's sandy coastline is a major attraction, as are the crystal blue waters of the sea, ideal for swimming, boating, and fishing. The surrounding lands and rolling hills combined with the mostly sunny climate are the perfect combo for growing grapes and olives, creating two of the region's most appreciated products—and necessary staples for your Tarragona vacation rental.
