Enjoy the Plaza de la Villa, the famous Plaza Mayor, the Puerta del Sol and the Plaza de Oriente. Next, board one of our air-conditioned buses for a ride through the city. Remember to bring your camera or Smartphone!
- Exit from Plaza de Oriente towards the magnificent Puerta de Toledo. Did you know that its construction dates back to the era of Napoleonic occupation? Back on the bus you can see the oldest bridge in Madrid and, next to the Manzanares River, you will have spectacular views of the Royal Palace and the Almudena Cathedral. Cross Calle Mayor towards Puerta del Sol and Las Cortes on the way to Paseo del Prado. Admire the architecture of the heart of old Madrid arriving at the Barrio de las Letras.
- Among the different places of interest that you will see on board the bus are the Cibeles fountain, where Real Madrid fans celebrate their team's victories, and the Puerta de Alcalá, the most famous of the five old doors that gave access to Madrid.
- We will finish the tour seeing the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, the Paseo de la Castellana and the Plaza de Colón.
- No visit to Madrid would be complete without a visit to the Prado Museum! Enjoy a skip-the-line guided tour thanks to your priority access ticket.

- Discover the original purpose for which the building that today houses one of the most famous art galleries in the world was built.
- The current exhibition is made up of more than 1,000 works from four different centuries. Since the sheer number of works can be overwhelming for a newcomer, let your guide show you around the site and learn the true stories behind the paintings.
