Puigcerdà is the capital of the region and an essential stop for any visitor to Cerdanya.
Visiting the lake of Puigcerdà
It is one of the best known icons of the area. A walk around the lake is a must; during the tour you can see the summer villas built between 1875 and 1910, which retain their stately character.
Next to the lake is Parc Schierbeck, which has a children’s playground, landscaped esplanades, a cafeteria and an outdoor library available during the summer months.
Climb the bell tower of Santa Maria
With 184 steps, it is one of the best points to contemplate the valley from the heights and understand the real dimension of the region. It is recommended to consult the schedules in advance, since it is usually open mainly during the summer season.

Walk to Rigolisa and the Torniquet lake
A very pleasant and practically flat itinerary that lasts about an hour. It consists of going around the lake of Puigcerdà, continue to the church of Rigolisa and continue to the small lake of Torniquet, returning by the Hospital Transfronterizo. It is ideal for all types of public.
Sunday local market
Every Sunday morning, Passeig 10 d’Abril is full of life with the municipal market. It is the perfect place to buy sausages, fruit, vegetables, olives, clothes or antiques, while enjoying the local atmosphere.
City Hall Square: the city’s viewpoint
This square is one of the most spectacular balconies of the capital. From here there are unobstructed views over the meadows of the Cerdanya plain and the most emblematic peaks that surround the region.
