Description

Embark on a fascinating tour through the history of Madrid. Walk the same streets that kings, famous writers, bandits, and noblemen walked while immersing yourself in the history of one of the most vibrant cities in Europe. From the busy Puerta del Sol to the historic heart of Madrid (Habsburg Dynasty), your local guide will show you secret spots and make you discover a fascinating part of the city's history. Learn about the foundation of Madrid by Muslims in the Middle Ages and discover how Madrid, a small Castilian city, became the capital of one of the greatest powers in Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries. See emblematic places such as the Plaza Mayor, the Plaza de la Villa, and the Mercado de San Miguel. In the final part of the tour, visit the Almudena Cathedral and the majestic Royal Palace of Madrid from where the Kings of Spain ruled an empire that spanned from America, parts of Central Europe and the Mediterranean Sea to the Philippines. The tour does not include the interior of the Royal Palace or the Cathedral. The guide's explanations are provided from the exterior.
