Where to Stay in Baeza
Baeza is a compact Renaissance town in the olive groves of Jaén. Because it is so small, you can walk almost everywhere. Even so, where you sleep shapes your trip. The historic core around the cathedral and Plaza del Pópulo suits culture lovers who want palaces on their doorstep. Meanwhile, the quieter streets on the edge of the old town offer calm nights and lower prices. Couples will love the historic mansions with pools and terraces. Drivers and budget travellers may prefer simpler stays with easier parking. Baeza shares its UNESCO World Heritage status with Úbeda, so many visitors stay in one and explore both. Read our Baeza travel guide for sightseeing ideas.
One quick tip before you book. Baeza fills up during Easter week, spring weekends and autumn holidays. If you plan to visit at a peak time, it is a good idea to book your accommodation well in advance.
