Description
Check in at our office and join us on the first part of the tour, a one-hour walking tour through the streets of the historic city center of Madrid. Discover emblematic places you cannot miss! Stroll around Plaza de la Villa, the famous Plaza Mayor, Puerta del Sol and Plaza de Oriente. Then board one of our air-conditioned buses for a ride through the city.
Leave Plaza de Oriente and head to the magnificent Puerta de Toledo. Did you know its construction dates back to the Napoleonic era? See the oldest bridge in Madrid and drive next to the Manzanares River, from where you will have great views of the Royal Palace and the Almudena Cathedral. Pass by Mayor Street, Puerta del Sol square and the Las Cortes quarter on your way to the Paseo del Prado. Admire the architecture of old Madrid as you arrive in the Las Letras Quarter.
Drive by Cibeles Fountain, where Real Madrid fans celebrate the team victories. Do not miss Puerta de Alcalá, the most famous of the five ancient gates into the city. The last sights you will see on the tour are the Santiago Bernabéu stadium through Paseo de la Castellana and Colon square.
But no trip to Madrid would be complete without a visit to the Prado Museum. Immerse yourself in its impressive collection as you wander through its majestic rooms at your own pace. Discover some of the most influential paintings in history, created by geniuses such as El Bosco, El Greco, Velázquez, Goya and Rubens. Discover the aim of the original building and why it changed to hold one of the most important art galleries in the world. The current exhibition holds more than 1,000 paintings of four different centuries.
