Service Description

Madrid is the central capital of Spain. It is a city of elegant boulevards and expansive, manicured parks. One of the largest and most beautiful parks in Madrid is Retiro Park. It is a quick escape from the bustle of the city and features a 19th Century Crystal Palace. Plaza Mayor is one of the grandest open squares in Madrid, featuring 9 entrance ways, 17th-century frescoes, and a 400-year-old bronze statue of King Philip III in the middle. This meeting place also hosts many events throughout the year. Madrid is home to a still-functioning bullfighting ring, and also an ancient Egyptian temple that was gifted by the Egyptian government as a sign of gratitude for helping preserve other significant historical sights in Egypt. Madrid also has an art triangle with three notable museums, Museo del Prado, Thyssen-Bornemisza, and Reina Sofia. Madrid is an eclectic city with something for everyone. Our one-hour walking tour will begin at the capital, where we will find out about the evolution of the first Global Empire, which began in the 1500s. Beginning with the Austrian, Habsburg and then the French, Bourbon Dynasties. We will be able to see the transition from several historical spots. We will also see how the “new city planning” resulted in a very contemporary city for its time. Hidden secrets of the city will be discovered as we stroll through the Court City of 1561. Let’s walk around the largest Royal Palace in Europe to get a glimpse of how the Monarchs lived in those days. Come see this beautiful Capital city, with so much to offer!
