As mentioned, some of Oviedo's most notable sights are located in the Casco Antiguo part of the city. The Valarde Palace from the 18th Century is one of these outstanding buildings, and now houses the Asturias Museum of Fine Arts. The Town Hall and Plaza del Fontan are also sights to see as are the palaces of Torero and Camposagrado built with the grandeur of Neo-classical architecture. The Cathedral of San Salvador is another landmark that makes its home in the old part of the city, standing primarily in the Gothic style with some pre-Romanesque sections visible as well. Located on a hill just outside the city, you can also visit the quaint little pre-Romanesque churches of San Miguel de Lillo and Santa Maria del Naranco.
A city of cathedrals, Oviedo even has a church museum of archaeological artifacts housed in the cloister of the old Convento de San Vicente. The convent was founded in the eighth century and rebuilt in the 15th, and now displays items like ancient Roman coins, sculptures, mosaics, and other artifacts of the Roman era. For the art enthusiasts another great museum is Oviedo's museum of fine arts mentioned earlier, which resides in the Velarde Palace. The collection includes artworks from the Renaissance and Baroque periods as well as paintings by contemporary artists of the Asturias region.
If you seek a little green escape from the bustle of the city, the Parque San Francisco is one of the biggest parks in Oviedo, complete with lush gardens, winding paths, glistening ponds, and even some wandering peacocks.
One could spend days upon days visiting the churches and cathedrals of Oviedo. Once you wandered the ins and outs of the historic district, explored its markets, and indulged in the local dining scene, it is hard to imagine that the city could have more to offer. Depending on the time of year, there are plenty of local festivities that have much to offer in local food, folk groups, traditional costumes, crafts, and more.

Setting realistic expectations for your travel budget is important. While some think they can visit Oviedo with minimal expenses, most people don't enjoy traveling that frugally. Consider what you prioritize on vacation. Do you prefer luxury hotels or budget stays? Hostels or hotels or vacation rentals? Are fun activities and dining out important to you? Your overall budget will depend on all of these questions.
Oviedo on a Shoestring Budget?
You might consider yourself a budget traveler, but if you're not ready to give up some comforts, prepare to spend a lot more than the $64 per day that younger budget travelers manage.
Backpackers will usually stick to this shoestring budget by staying in hostel dorms, dining at the cheapest spots such as fast food places, using public transit, and mostly visiting free attractions.
Thankfully, Oviedo features plenty of hostels, such as La HospederÃa Oviedo. At hostels like this, you can find economical dorm beds and a great social atmosphere, although amenities might be quite sparse.
Do You Fit the Profile of an Average Traveler?
If you're a couple or family taking a fun trip, you'll probably prefer a mid-range hotel, enjoy meals at favorite restaurants, and visit the main museums and attractions that require entry fees. Exploring the major attractions, museums, sights, and landmarks is a must for most visitors to Oviedo. Most activities have costs involved. Thus, it's realistic to expect your daily budget to be closer to $153 per person, per day.
Want to Experience a Luxurious Trip?
If you're looking for a luxurious getaway that offers top-notch amenities and exceptional service, you should budget around $333 per day. To enjoy a nicer hotel, dine at renowned restaurants, indulge in extravagant activities, and use taxis or private drivers to explore the destination, prepare for a luxury price tag.
