Badajoz hotels like a local.
You get a relaxed Spanish border-city break with Moorish walls, broad plazas, Guadiana river walks, Extremaduran food and Portugal close by.
About Badajoz
Badajoz sits on the Guadiana River about six kilometres from Portugal, and its frontier history shapes much of what you see: the Alcazaba, medieval walls, bastions, gates and river crossings. It is Extremadura’s largest city, but it feels local and unhurried rather than crowded, with most first-time sights clustered in and around the historic centre.
