Description

Did you know that Madrid traces its origins to 'Mayrit', the name bestowed by Arabs 1200 years ago to mean a land full of water? Embark on a tour of Madrid, starting at the grand Royal Palace, and marvel at the Almudena Cathedral, Old City Hall Square, and Plaza Mayor, where bullfights and carnivals have occurred for over 400 years. Indulge in the city's famous San Miguel Market and learn how Madrid became the capital of Spain.

Highlights
  • Marvel at the architecture of the Royal Palace and the New Cathedral
  • Walk around Plaza Mayor, famous for its bullfights and carnivals
  • Explore the Old City Hall Square, where you can discover the city's rich Arabic influences
  • Visit Puerta del Sol, the iconic spot where Madrid rings in the New Year

    • Meet the guide at Punto de Información Turística Palacio Real and start the tour at the location of the Royal Palace, the biggest palace in Western Europe with more than 3000 rooms! The Almudena Cathedral right next to it is an exciting mixture of artistic styles which just ended construction recently and is used for regular royal ceremonies.
    • Then, we will get lost in the alleys downtown. Walk through the Old City Hall Square as the guide points out the Arabic influences or tells you about how the royal family moved the court to Madrid to make it the capital.
