Murcia is a welcoming and charming city that makes strolling through its streets and squares enjoyable. The local people are outgoing, nice, friendly and very open to visitors. You can wonder through the Plaza del Cardenal Belluga square, where you can visit the Cathedral and the Archbishop's Palace, Plaza de Santo Domingo, Trapería Street where you will find the Casino of Murcia or Platería Street with its shops.
In the Plaza de Julián Romea square we find the Romea Theater and some terraces that offer tapas and lunch menus as well as coffees or cocktail drinks by night. Along Gran Via boulevard there are plenty of shops to see and by the San Esteban Garden we find the palace with the same name, meanwhile we can enjoy a pleasant walk through Plaza de Santa Isabel and Plaza de Las Flores or visit the bullring - Plaza de Toros de Murcia.
There are different areas to go out in Murcia, depending on the targeted age, environment and type of party you are looking for. Mariano Rojas area is quieter during the first hours of the night, ideal for those who want to go out a bit and go home early, though locals in this area remain open after hours and start getting busier towards the morning time when other bars close.
The area of choice for a night out in Murcia is called the Taverns (Las Tascas) area in the center of town near the university of Merced, where the party starts on Thursday with lots of students plus the locals and all Erasmus students that exist in our city.

Two steps away we have the Centrofama area, with a couple of clubs, with entry or cover charge and minimum dress code requirements. Another popular area is Pérez Casas at the intersection of Alfonso Diez street with Gran Via, with various local pubs and bars and live environment.
