Ebro vessels. Sailing in the river

Ebro vessels. Sailing in the river

There is a summer service to have a journey over the river. It is a whole new perspective of the city. It worths a lot.

Which is the journey?

This year (2013) a new company has started to manage the service. They will offer to go from Pilar to Expo area.

Pilar dock is just here:

(although google maps is not updated, but just after Basilica in the Ebro river and going down. No possibility to get lost)

Expo dock is more or less here

https://maps.google.es/maps?q=zaragoza&hl=es&ie=UTF8&ll=41.667454,-0.895965&spn=0.002148,0.009645&sll=40.396764,-3.713379&sspn=4.484348,19.753418&t=h&hnear=Zaragoza,+Arag%C3%B3n&z=17

(and that part was under construction when the picture so it is not updated... but take a look to the area in a map)

Which are their fares and timetables?

Tuesday to Sunday

Departures from Pilar dock: 12:00, 13:00, 18:00, 19:00, 20:00 and 21:00

Departures from Expo dock, about half an hour later

Trip would take 25 minutes to go, and 25 more return

You can just go and return or decide to stay for a while in the area

Price is 10 euro for an adult return ticket.

There are reductions for children and senior citizens

The company that manages the vessels is the same that manages the Aquarium . So then, if you buy a return ticket you will have a 30% reduction in the Aquarium

Tickets can be bought in the same vessel and, if you are in the Aquarium, you can buy them also there (it is the same company).

What can I visit if I go to the Expo area?

Aquarium

Bridge Pavilion

and the Water Park Luis Buñuel

Aquarium does not close at noon so you can go in the morning when you want, visit it, have a lunch there or in the Water Park, having a walk in the area and returning in the evening

It really worths

As a detail:

and.... wanna have a lunch or just a beer with something else in the Aquarium terrace?
