The foothill of the fortified Castle Hill offers fantastic views of the city and the medieval quarter. Attractions include the World Heritage listed gothic Cathedral dating back to 1221; the Mudejar Arch of San Esteban; the Burgos Museum, with an important collection of archaeologic artefacts; the Casa de Angulo, which houses the Museum of Fine Arts and the Casa del Cordón, where the Catholic Monarchs received Christopher Columbus after he returned from his second trip to the New World.

Traditional dishes include: Suckling lamb or pig meat baked in a wood-fired oven; excellent blood-sausages; seasonal crayfish, delicious fresh cheese (unripened) and excellent local wines.
