The world’s second oldest university is here, with a student population of 30,000 (5,000 of whom are foreigners) that provides a lively atmosphere throughout the city. The famous Plaza Mayor is the central gathering place for locals and visitors alike. The plaza, regarded as one of the finest squares in Europe, is currently used primarily for concerts.
