Serviced Apartments in Burgos

Burgos is a historically famous city in the north of Spain, about two hours’ drive from the coast of the Bay of Biscay. The city is famous within the country for being the home of some striking historical architecture and important law-making decisions. Typically visited by Spanish tourists with an appetite for the history of their country, international visitors also book apartment rentals in Burgos to experience a traditional large Spanish city.

Certainly the landmark which attracts the most visitors each year is Burgos Cathedral; a 13th century Gothic building known across the country for its enormous size and unique style. It is now a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site and is an impressive construction from whichever side you are viewing it. The cathedral is located centrally within the city and cannot only be visited easily from city centre (center) apartments in Burgos, but its bells can be heard ringing every hour, on the hour.

Another of the city's most well-known landmarks is the Abbey of Santa María la Real de Las Huelgas. Located about a mile west of the traditional city centre, this is a famous monastery which has seen the weddings of both Spanish and foreign royalty in the past. Originally founded in 1187, the convent is a must see attraction for anyone staying in a Burgos holiday rental. It may not have the striking Gothic architecture of the cathedral, but its size and regal atmosphere are truly something to behold.

If you're looking to enjoy an attraction which is of a more modern standpoint, try visiting the Museum of Human Evolution (Museo de la Evolución Humana). The museum only opened in July 2010 and was visited by almost 150,000 visitors by the end of that year. The museum is part of a larger compound also including a convention centre and research institution and although being about 20 km from the city centre, is easily reached from holiday apartments in Burgos.

For a city so full of historical landmarks and events, Burgos has a surprisingly modern way of getting around as it is home to a large, free bicycle rental system called Bicibur. Across more than 20 distribution points in the city you can borrow a bicycle and use the city's comprehensive network of bike lanes to see the sights. With so many locations across the city from which to pick up one of the bikes, there is often one within a few minutes of many holiday lettings and self-catered apartments in Burgos.

Serviced and self-catered apartments, flats, holiday lets and aparthotels can be up to 30% cheaper than most equivalent hotel rooms and are becoming increasingly popular due to the freedom they offer.
