Vitoria-Gasteiz has no five-star hotels, but it has a solid run of four-stars, a handful of family-run two-stars and several budget chains, most of them within walking distance of the centre. The best place to stay depends on whether you want medieval atmosphere, shopping convenience or green space. Here is where to stay in Vitoria-Gasteiz, area by area, with specific hotels, and for what to do nearby see our things to do in Vitoria-Gasteiz guide.
Where to Stay in Vitoria-Gasteiz: Casco Viejo (Old Town)
The Casco Viejo puts you on cobbled streets within minutes of the cathedral and the best pintxo bars. It suits first-time visitors and couples who want atmosphere over space. This is the area to book months ahead if you are coming for the August fiesta, described in our events and festivals in Vitoria-Gasteiz calendar, so check the Vitoria-Gasteiz weather by month forecast for that week before you commit.
