Why Salamanca?

Salamanca is a World Heritage City. Its historic quarter will surprise you with the variety and artistic richness of its monuments. You can visit it with great ease because it is an ideal size for exploring on foot, enjoying a pleasant stroll.

The University of Salamanca is one of the oldest in Europe, along with Oxford, Bologna, and Paris. This academic institution promotes innovation, knowledge transfer, and entrepreneurship among students and researchers, fostering the development of new spin-off companies and boosting their socio-economic and international visibility.

Cultural activity is the perfect complement for those who come to the city to participate in a congress or conference and also wish to enjoy art or music with highlights such as the Festival de Luz y Vanguardias, with its impressive videomapping projections onto the city's main monuments, or the International Festival of Arts of Castilla y León. Alongside this, a fun array of leisure experiences and activities to complete your stay in the city, and a surprising province to discover with natural parks, historic-artistic sites…

In short, a cosmopolitan, open, pleasant, welcoming, and vibrant capital awaits you.

Sustainability

Aware that a culture of sustainability greatly benefits both the event organizer and the environment in which events are held, we propose some ideas:

Leave your private vehicle at home; take advantage of significant discounts on Renfe and Avanza.
Walk whenever possible. The main conference venues and most hotels are located in the historic center, so attendees can comfortably get around on foot. This contributes to reducing carbon emissions.
Local products. Dining establishments offer a wide variety of dishes prepared with local products.
