Madrid is a city with a rich history dating back to the 9th century. Its strategic location between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean made it a logical choice for the Spanish capital. Madrid has been the capital of Spain since 1561 and today is one of the main European cities.
On this 2-hour private walking tour starting at Paseo del Prado, we will visit some of Madrid’s most iconic landmarks, such as Plaza Mayor, Plaza de la Villa, San Miguel Market, the Congress of Deputies, Cervantes’ House, the Opera House, the Cathedral and the famous Royal Palace.
We will also explore the city’s many churches, small squares, narrow streets and other historic buildings.
Your guide will not only tell you about the places you see, but also delve into their history. You will learn about the origins of Madrid and how it became a capital city. The historical content of the tour is perfectly balanced to be both informative and light-hearted.
This makes it an ideal visit for both children and adults. In addition to historical explanations, you can listen to anecdotes, current events and anything else you want to ask your guide.
If you want to see a specific place just tell your guide and he will be happy to customize the tour for you.
