Welcome to Madrid & Exploring the City

Welcome to Madrid & Exploring the City

Welcome to Madrid! A driver will be waiting for you at the airport with a comfortable private vehicle to take you to your hotel.

Today, you will discover some of the main attractions of the Spanish capital on a guided walking tour (approximately 3 hours). The tour traces Madrid’s Islamic origins — the current Royal Palace stands on the site of the former Arab Alcázar — and continues through emblematic landmarks such as Plaza Mayor, Puerta del Sol and Gran Vía.

After the guided tour, you can explore the city aboard a hop-on hop-off sightseeing bus (ticket included), allowing you to reach further highlights such as Puerta de Alcalá, the Prado Museum, Las Ventas Bullring or the Real Madrid Stadium, while also taking in Madrid’s main and elegant avenues.

If you wish, you may also enhance your experience with a private vehicle and the services of a Muslim guide, who can accompany you for the rest of the day and help you explore the city from a different perspective.

Accommodation at the selected hotel

To make the most of this programme and explore the city without rushing or missing any highlights, we recommend arriving early in the day.

You will also see other key sites, including the Archivo de Indias —which, together with the Cathedral, the Giralda and the Royal Alcázar, forms a UNESCO World Heritage Site— as well as the Plaza de España.

After the tour, you can continue exploring the many charms of Seville at your own pace, often regarded as one of the most beautiful cities in Spain. Optionally, you may arrange a Muslim guide to accompany you for the rest of the day, helping you make the most of your time in the city.
