Routes

Madrid City Tour offers two routes: Historical Madrid and Modern Madrid. If you choose to do both routes, you'll get a general idea of Spain’s capital city.

The first route (Historical Madrid) takes you to the heart of the city and stops at every emblematic landmark like Puerta de Alcalá, Puerta del Sol, the Royal Palace, the beautiful Temple of Debod and the legendary Gran Vía.

The second route covers the most modern parts of Madrid, for example, The Santiago Bernabéu, the elegant Calle Serrano, Nuevos Ministerios and the bullfighting ring in Ventas.
