Cádiz is a superb walk-off port — the cruise terminal sits right beside the old town, so you step off into a maze of squares, the cathedral, and sea walls within minutes.
💡 Pro move: Cádiz itself is lovely and very walkable, but many cruisers day-trip to Seville for the cathedral and Alcázar. Decide early — Seville is rewarding but a long round trip.
Cádiz docks ships right beside its old town, a 5-minute walk to the historic center — and a short walk to the train station for Seville and Jerez day trips.
