Audio Guide of Revillagigedo Palace

Revillagigedo Palace usually has variable exhibition hours, as it houses the Cajastur Cultural Center. I strongly recommend checking its current schedule before your visit. Generally, it is not necessary to book for exhibitions, but it may be required for specific events. You can find the most up-to-date information on the official Cajastur Cultural Center website.

Admission to the exhibitions at Revillagigedo Palace is usually free. Occasionally, there may be special events or exhibitions with an entrance fee, but most often you can enjoy the venue without paying admission. It is always a good idea to check upon arrival or on its website.

For a complete and unhurried visit to the palace and its exhibitions, I would suggest allowing between 1 and 2 hours. The length will depend greatly on the number of exhibitions being shown at the same time and your interest in each one, but that amount of time should give you a satisfying experience.

Revillagigedo Palace is an impressive 18th-century Baroque building linked to one of the most influential noble families in Gijón. Its importance lies not only in its architectural beauty, but also in its current role as a dynamic cultural center, hosting exhibitions and activities that keep it alive at the heart of the city. It is a silent witness to the evolution of Gijón.

To avoid crowds, I recommend visiting the palace early in the morning or late in the afternoon, especially during high season in summer. As for the time of year, any time is good, since the exhibitions change and there is always something new to see. Gijón has a mild climate that makes it enjoyable in any season.

Yes, Revillagigedo Palace, as a cultural center, is adapted for people with reduced mobility. It has ramps and/or elevators that make access to the different rooms and exhibitions easier. If you have any specific needs, I suggest contacting them directly to confirm the best access route. Their phone number is usually available on the Cajastur Cultural Center page.

The palace is in a privileged location, right on Marqués Square and facing the marina. Just a few steps away, you can explore the Cimadevilla neighborhood, Gijón’s old town, Saint Peter’s Church, and Eulogy to the Horizon. San Lorenzo Beach is also very close, along with a wide choice of restaurants and cider houses. Gijón is at your feet!

Of course! My advice is to check the Cajastur Cultural Center program before you go to see which exhibition is on at that time, so you can plan your visit according to your interests. Since it is right in the city center, consider public transport or nearby parking if you are coming by car. And do not forget to walk around the surrounding area; it is beautiful and full of life.
