If I could have any superpower, I’d definitely choose the ability to transport myself to any place in the world in the blink of an eye. But I’m also trying to find creative ways to feel like I’m traveling even when I can’t.
I took on a mission to find the best online tours out there, and I had to start with my beloved Spain. So without further ado, here are virtual tours of Spain that will surely ignite your wanderlust.
*I try to keep the information on this blog as updated as possible, but I still recommend consulting the latest prices, opening hours, and other details on the official website of each site, hotel, and tour, as well as checking the updated public transport routes and timetables.

Virtual Tours of Spain
Barcelona
Even a week in Barcelona is not enough time to explore this city (it has so many hidden gems), so obviously, a virtual visit will only give you a tiny glimpse of its beauty.
But if you’re ready to give it a try, you can have a look at the city from above or check out the online tours of the top Gaudi buildings in Barcelona – the Sagrada Familia, Casa Batllo, and Park Güell.
Madrid
Absolutely NOTHING will ever make me feel like I do when I’m walking through the streets of Madrid, but I’m actually loving this virtual tour of the city from above.
You can also enjoy virtual visits to Retiro Park, Sabatini Gardens, Almudena Cathedral, Royal Botanical Garden, and the National Museum of Archeology.

Seville
Seville was one of my favorite places to visit in southern Spain.
I had to include it on my Andalucia road trip itinerary because I couldn’t have missed its beautiful Plaza de España, colorful neighborhoods, and historical landmarks.
If you want to visit the city online, you can see it from above or take a tour inside one of its most important UNESCO sites – the Cathedral.
Valencia
I fell in love with Valencia while attending the Fallas festival.
Strolling through the streets of the old town, admiring the landmarks, visiting the City of Arts and Sciences, feasting on delicious paella, and discovering the city’s hidden gems were pure joy.
If you want to visit Valencia virtually, you can see the city from above and visit the City of Arts and Sciences (or the Oceanografic specifically), which is one of the top things to see in the city.
Avila
Short but sweet, this tour will take you to Avila, a UNESCO city famous for its intact medieval walls and Romanesque and Gothic churches.
San Sebastian
San Sebastian, aka the food capital of Spain, is truly one of the most stunning places I have visited in northern Spain. From the old town to La Concha beach to Monte Igueldo’s lookout point, this city is a paradise. That’s why I was thrilled to find this virtual tour.
Salamanca
After taking this virtual tour of Salamanca (which shows it at day and night), I think this city needs to be way higher on my Spain bucket list.
This intriguing glance at its Old Quarter (which is a UNESCO site) and 12th-century university (the world’s third oldest university still in operation) definitely inspires me to visit Salamanca ASAP.
Figueres
A popular day trip from Barcelona is the town of Figueres, the birthplace of Salvador Dalí, and where you’ll find the Dalí Theatre-Museum (a museum that was designed by the artist himself).
If you want to visit this unique museum and explore the largest collection of Dalí’s works of art, take this virtual tour.
The Alhambra
Any Spain lover has visited or wants to visit this internationally famous UNESCO site.
So if you’re sitting at home, thinking ‘I wish I could be there right now,’ maybe this short virtual tour of the Alhambra will cheer you up a bit.
Montserrat
If you haven’t had the chance to visit the mountain of Montserrat and its monastery, this tour will show you the area from above, as well as the inside of the basilica.
Royal Place of Olite
Probably one of the most fairytale-like places in Spain, the 13th-century Royal Palace of Olite is an impressive former palace of the Kings of Navarre.
Until you get the chance to see this stunning piece of history in real life, explore it with this virtual tour.
Camino de Santiago
The Camino de Santiago (the Way of St. James) is probably the world’s most famous network of pilgrim routes. Ending in Santiago the Compostela, the different paths start in Spain, France, or Portugal.
Though it’s a bit difficult to cover the entire Camino de Santiago online, you can have a glance at the Northern Way, the French Way (including touring the inside of the Cathedral of Burgos), and Santiago de Compostela.
Malaga and Costa Del SOL
From monuments to beaches to unique natural spaces, here’s a virtual tour of Malaga and the Costa del Sol.
Segovia
Taking a day trip from Madrid to Segovia is a must.
Once you’re there, it’s easy to understand why its Roman aqueduct, its Gothic cathedral, and its fairytale castle (along with other famous Spanish landmarks in the old city) were declared UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
To visit Segovia online, you can explore the city from above, have a closer look at its landmarks, or take a virtual tour of its castle (one of the best virtual tours of castles in Europe).
Region of Aragon
This underrated Aragon is home to so many beautiful places, from Zaragoza to Albarracin to the Ordesa and Monte Perdido National Park, and this website offers dozens of virtual tours of this region.
Tenerife
I find the Canary Islands extremely intriguing. With their volcanic landscapes, green mountains, black sand beaches, and coastal towns and villages, these islands are a dream destination of mine.
That’s why I was so thrilled to find this amazing virtual tour of Tenerife from above. It definitely fuels my wanderlust and proves that Spain is full of surprises.
