Why we featured this post

Mérida works especially well when children need ruins with room to roam, and this guide maps out a calm two-day route rather than a history lecture. It explains that the 17€ combo ticket covers most historic sites, pairs the Roman Theatre and Amphitheatre with the nearby National Museum of Roman Art, and points out the Alcazaba's Roman Bridge views. Families also get sensible breaks built in, from croquettes at Kiosco Malabar on Plaza de España to a walk across the 790-metre, 60-arch Roman Bridge.

Things to do

  • Explore the Roman Theatre and Amphitheatre complex
  • Walk across Mérida's 60-arch Roman Bridge
  • Eat croquettes at Kiosco Malabar in Plaza de España
  • See Los Milagros Aqueduct's granite and brick structure
