Main archaeology museum for Roman Tarragona, displaying sculptures, mosaics and finds that give context to the city's ancient monuments.
Art museum in a historic building with Gothic and modern collections, religious works and temporary exhibitions in the old quarter.

Broad pedestrian avenue between the station area and old town, known for shops, civic buildings and everyday city life.
Historic upper town of narrow lanes, small squares and stone façades, ideal for wandering between cathedral and Roman remains.
Romesco is Tarragona’s signature sauce of roasted peppers, tomatoes, almonds and olive oil, traditionally served with fish, calçots or seafood.
Calçots are sweet spring onions charred over flames and dipped in romesco. They are central to winter calçotades across Tarragona province.
Xató is a Catalan salad of escarole, salt cod, tuna, anchovies and olives with a nutty romesco-style dressing, popular along this coast.
Established harbour-side dining room specialising in Mediterranean seafood, paellas and market fish with a refined but relaxed atmosphere.
Well-known seafood restaurant in El Serrallo, popular for rice dishes, shellfish and classic coastal cooking in a polished setting.
Traditional tavern-style venue in the old town known for vermouth, tapas and Catalan small plates in a lively historic setting.
Moderate for Spain: dining and local transport are reasonable, while summer accommodation near the coast can raise overall trip costs versus smaller inland cities.
Tipping is modest. In restaurants, round up or leave 5-10% for very good service. In cafés, small change is enough. For taxis, round up the fare rather than tipping heavily.
