About Tarragona
Tarragona, on Catalonia's Costa Daurada an hour south of Barcelona, was the Roman city of Tarraco, and its ancient remains, including a seaside amphitheatre, are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The port opened a wharf dedicated to cruise ships in 2022 and a new passenger terminal in June 2024, with three berths able to take the largest ships and both transit and turnaround calls.
Passengers on some lines starting or ending a cruise check in at a meeting point on Moll de Costa and take a shuttle to the ship. In the city, the walled Part Alta climbs to the cathedral, the Rambla Nova ends at the Balco del Mediterrani viewpoint, and El Serrallo is known for seafood.
