Almeria: city map, main districts and tourist spots

The city’s numerous cultural and architectural treasures are scattered across various districts of Almería. Strolling through the narrow streets of the old quarter, you can visit the ancient fortress, the Cathedral of the Incarnation, the Poor Clare convent, and the Church of Saint James the Greater, as well as the Spanish Civil War–era air-raid shelters — not to mention the many museums located here.

Administratively, the province of Almería consists of 23 municipalities. The historic districts in the center of Almería are bordered on the northwest and west by hills, on the east and northeast by the boulevard ring formed by Avenida de Federico García Lorca and Rambla de Belén, and on the south by the seafront. The highlight of Almería’s old town — and its main attraction — the Alcazaba fortress, stands on the hills along the northwestern edge of the city. Another gem of Almería is the cathedral, located 300 meters southeast of the fortress.

There are no truly dangerous areas in Almería — the city is calm, cozy, and well-suited for safe tourism. To explore the city, visit all its districts and landmarks, you can take an Almería sightseeing tour aboard the Tren Turístico, which operates six times a day on Saturdays and Sundays. The fare for one ride is 5 EUR.

Districts in the center of Almeria will delight curious travelers with exhibition halls of museums, which collect unique exhibits of the city's thousand-year history. The district of Almeria near the train station is about a kilometer from the historic center of the city (the Cathedral of the Incarnation).
