Where to stay in Cáceres
Cáceres is small, but where you sleep still shapes your trip. Stay inside the old town walls and you wake up in a medieval film set. Prefer lively cafés and tapas bars? Base yourself around Plaza Mayor. Want a pool, easy parking and lower prices? Head to the modern part of town. Each area suits a different kind of holiday, so pick the one that matches your plans. Please note that Cáceres gets very busy during Easter Week and on summer weekends. If you plan to visit at peak times, it is a good idea to book accommodation well in advance.
