Where to Stay in Soria

Soria is small, calm and easy to walk, yet where you stay still matters. Stay in the historic centre, and Plaza Mayor, Romanesque churches and tapas bars are steps away. Love green spaces? Pick a hotel near the Alameda de Cervantes park. Want views over the Duero river and the castle hill? Then choose a hilltop stay on the edge of town. Seeking peace and privacy? A secluded retreat outside the centre offers both. Each area suits a different kind of holiday. Below, we explain the best places to stay in each part of Soria. One tip first. Soria fills up during Semana Santa, the San Juan fiestas in late June and August weekends. So, book well in advance if you plan to visit at peak times.

Plaza Mayor and the old town

Stay here for the classic Soria experience. Plaza Mayor, Romanesque churches and tapas bars all sit within a few minutes. Streets are pedestrian, so evenings feel calm.
