Lleida invites the visitor to lose themselves in the narrow winding streets and to discover the city centre, just ten minutes' walk from the Parador. Atop a hill sits La Seu Vella or Lleida's Old Cathedral, which was built back in the 13th century and which offers great views of the city and surrounding flatlands of Segre. The New Cathedral, built in the Baroque style is located in the city's commercial heart, just five minutes from the Parador. Lleida is an interesting destination for those looking to follow the Romanesque Routes, such as that area of Alta Ribagorza which boasts no fewer than nine Romanesque churches in the Vall de Boí, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Nature is also close at hand with the Arboreum Dr. Pius Font y Quer nearby. This is an immense botanic garden of more than 7 hectares, with 18 spaces, each representing a different area of the planet. If you like to stay active, the perfect place for playing sport and observing the flora and fauna is La Mitjana, a surprising natural area, which stretches along the edge of the city by the riverside. Lleida is the perfect location for lovers of wine tourism, as from here wineries and vineyards can be visited as it is in the centre of the Costers del Segre Designation of Origin. Here at the Parador we can provide you with information so that you can go on wine tourism routes in the area. Urban hotels at the heart of the city Parador de Lleida Rooms
