The best area to stay in Cáceres is within or immediately surrounding the Ciudad Monumental (Old Town).This historic core of Cáceres is a UNESCO World Heritage site, characterised by its incredibly well-preserved medieval and Renaissance architecture. You'll find cobbled streets, ancient walls, and impressive palaces and churches, all within a compact, walkable area. Key landmarks include the Plaza Mayor, the Arco de la Estrella entrance, and the Plaza de Santa María. It's a truly special place that transports you back in time.For couples, staying inside the Ciudad Monumental offers an incredibly romantic and historic experience. You're just steps away from beautiful squares for an evening drink, hidden courtyards, and charming restaurants. Exploring the ancient streets after the day-trippers have left is a particular highlight, providing a quiet and intimate setting.Solo travellers will also find the Ciudad Monumental an excellent base. Its central location means you can easily walk to all the main sights, and there are plenty of cafes and tapas bars to enjoy.
