Why Salamanca?

Salamanca is a World Heritage City.

Its historic center will surprise you with the variety and artistic richness of its monuments. You can visit it with great comfort because it has an ideal size for walking, taking a pleasant stroll.

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

800 years of history and prestige have left their mark on the city itself, where you can feel the university, young, fresh, and cheerful atmosphere.

Cultural activity is a great complement for those who come to the city to participate in a conference or event and also want to enjoy art or music with outstanding events such as the Festival of Light and Avant-Garde, with its impressive videomapping projections on the city's main monuments, or the International Festival of Arts of Castilla y León. Alongside this, a fun offer of experiences and leisure activities to complete your stay in the city and a surprising province to discover with natural parks, historical-artistic complexes…

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

Sustainability

Aware that the culture of sustainability greatly benefits both event organizers and the environment in which events take place, we propose some ideas:

Leave your private vehicle at home, take advantage of significant discounts on Renfe and Avanza.

Walk. The main conference venues and most hotels are located in the historic center, allowing attendees to move around comfortably on foot. This contributes to reducing carbon emissions.

Local products. Restaurants offer a wide variety of dishes made with local products.
