Revel in the energetic spirit of its famous San Fermín festival, marvel at the stunning architecture of its cathedral, feast on famous pintxos, and take leisurely strolls through lush parks.

Day 1 - A Bull's Introduction to Pamplona

Day one in Pamplona should be about basking in the city's buzzing atmosphere. Start your day at Plaza del Castillo - the heart of Pamplona, a bustling square filled with cafes and marvellous historic exhibits. Then, a visit to the San Fermín festival will offer a taste of the wild festivities that make Pamplona famous worldwide. Don't miss the chance to run (safely) along the same route the bulls take during the festival! Afterwards, stroll down Estafeta Street known for its exhilarating vibe, and indulge in some pintxos at one of the local taverns. Finish the day with a tranquil walk around the Taconera Park and enjoy the enchanting natural scenery - a lovely contrast to the high-action bull run.

Day 2 - Pamplona's Historic Heart

Start your second day marvelling at the magnificently intricate architecture of the Pamplona Cathedral. It’s a stunning display of the city’s history spanning centuries. Afterwards, head over to the Fortifications of Pamplona, once a city's defense against invasions, now a beautiful walking trail that provides spectacular views of the city. When it's time to refuel, enjoy traditional Navarre cuisine at one of the charming restaurants near the fortifications. Spend the rest of your day at the Navarra Museum to learn about the region's rich history and culture. Cap the day off with a relaxing stroll along the Ardanaz aqueduct, a lesser-known gem that offers a peaceful retreat from the city bustle.

Day 3 - Pamplona Off the Beaten Path

Take the third day to explore beyond the city's bustling center. Begin your day at the Yamaguchi Park, a Japanese-themed oasis where urban life blends with nature. Next, a visit to the Planetarium will literally offer a whole new perspective of our universe. Then, soak up some local culture at the Pamplona City Hall with its impressive architecture. Lastly, delve into the city's passion for sports by catching a local soccer game at El Sadar Stadium. Enjoy local snacks and get carried away by the enthusiasm of the crowd, ending your extraordinary 3-day adventure in Pamplona on a real high.
