Car Hire Merida - Mini guide to Merida

If you want a historical and interesting place to stop when you are travelling between Madrid and Lisbon, Merida is it. To get to Merida you can take advantage of the train or bus service to get to Seville and Madrid easily, whilst experiencing the countryside like never before.

There are many attractions in Merida that will allow you to step back in time for an afternoon, such as the National Museum of Roman Art, the Roman Theatre, and the Roman Amphitheatre with Circus Maximus. Towering temples for the Goddess Diana and God of War, Mars will capture the imagination and the large aqueducts will cause you to think you are in ancient Rome. There is also a Roman Bridge that is made with 64 arches of granite. It is the longest Roman Bridge in Spain and runs over the River Guadiana.

This capital city is known as a small Rome and there are plenty of chances to spot a Roman archaeological site on your travels here. Be sure to find a tour guide to show you the ruins and Romanesque architecture that gives this city its charm. When you visit the restaurants in Merida, you will find that lunch and dinner is served very late as it is in most Spanish cities. If you can’t get used to the Spanish schedule, then you can take comfort in the fact that Tapas bars are conveniently located. Here, you can enjoy Tapas, which are small, filling snacks, while you have a glass of wine or beer at the bar after a long day of sight seeing.
