Salamanca with All the Senses

To truly know a city, merely looking at it or admiring it is not enough; those actions only introduce us to a fraction of it. One must also touch it, feel it on the skin, discover its texture, recognize its music, its silence, smell it, perceive its aroma, and taste it in all its nuances. But to know it authentically, one must also be able to step into others' shoes, observe it through their eyes, measure it with their hands, and thus understand it for what it is: a living entity in constant flux, in transformation, a complex reality woven from many perspectives and experiences.

"Salamanca con todos los sentidos" (Salamanca with All the Senses) represents, in essence, a commitment to an open city, unhindered, without exclusion, without borders; a city that can be enjoyed globally and completely, a city for all and by all.

New Accessible Technologies

We want everyone who visits Salamanca to enjoy the city, for it to be an accessible, full, open city, for everyone and by everyone.

To facilitate your visit, we provide you with different tools to improve your experience.
If you wish to explore the city at your own pace, you can use the planner on our web portal and the Salamanca Turismo tourist application, which you can download from Google Play and Aple Store. It's free and offers subtitles and sign language.

Salamanca is also part of the Tur4all accessible tourism application developed by PREDIF, the State Representative Platform for People with Physical Disabilities, which compiles the accessibility conditions of more than 2400 tourist establishments throughout Spanish territory.

You can also check the accessibility of the destination's spaces on the tur4all website.

Accessible Visits

The organization of adapted tours for individuals with diverse disabilities is another of the initiatives through which the local Tourism Board aims to ensure that all people have access to the city's cultural and tourism offerings. This initiative is proving highly successful.

The guided tours of Paseos por Salamanca, the dramatized tours of the different programs throughout the year, the à la carte visits to archaeological sites and part of the performances of the Keys of the City are the programs that already regularly incorporate special adapted passes.

On the website salamancaymas.es you can consult the visits that are organized and request a sign language interpreter on demand by sending an email to gestion@turismodesalamanca.com.
