Castelo de San Antón: Maritime Museum & A Coruña Harbour by Private Tuk-Tuk

Explore A Coruña's 16th-century sea fortress — now the Archaeological and Maritime Museum — then ride a VIP private tuk-tuk along the harbour for a perfectly paced, cinematic introduction to the city. History, water, and Galician character all at once.

What to expect

Begin inside the Castelo de San Antón, a star-shaped fortress built by Philip II, whose dungeon walls once held Galician independence heroes. The on-site museum displays Roman gold torques, pre-Celtic treasures, and Armada artefacts. Then your private tuk-tuk collects you for a 2-hour coastal circuit: the glass-galleried Mariña, the fishing quarter of Monte Alto, the Riazor beach esplanade, and Praza de María Pita — Galicia's grandest square — with commentary throughout.

Good to know

The Castelo is a flat 15-min walk from the pier along the harbour front. Book the tuk-tuk tour in advance as VIP slots are limited. This combination works beautifully as a half-day (3–4 hrs total), leaving the afternoon free for lunch and independent exploration.
