Itinerary
Día 1
Panoramic visit of Madrid and Toledo
- Check in at our office and 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 from the era of Napoleonic occupation? Again 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. We will pass through the Plaza Mayor, formerly the heart of Old Madrid and currently the oldest square in the city. In the Austrias neighborhood, we will see emblematic places such as Puerta del Sol on the way to Paseo del Prado.
- Among the different places of interest you will see on board the bus are the Cibeles fountain, where Real Madrid fans celebrate the victories of their team, and the Puerta de Alcalá, the most famous of the old five doors that gave access to Madrid. Take your camera as we approach the Plaza de Las Ventas and enjoy a brief stop listening to the explanations of your guide. The visit will end up seeing the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium and Plaza Colón.
- Sign up at our office in the center of Madrid fifteen minutes before the departure of your tour and head to Toledo with your local guide.
- Enjoy the scenery on the way to the city. Follow your local guide on a walking tour of the historic city of Toledo, a World Heritage City since 1986. Once the capital of Spain, it is a spectacular mix of Arab, Jewish and Christian cultures.
- Discover its fantastic heritage and discover how the coexistence of cultures through the centuries influenced its current architectural style. Stroll between the cloisters of the courtyard and the royal coats of arms in the Monastery of San Juan de los Reyes. Admire the building sponsored by Queen Elizabeth of Castile to become a royal mausoleum, the most important building built by the Catholic Monarchs.
- Right after the visit we will walk to the Synagogue of Santa Maria la Blanca. Originally built as a synagogue, it was expropriated and became a church only 211 years after opening its doors. Today, it is a fantastic Mudéjar-style museum that you will visit. Admire El Greco's world-famous painting, The Burial of the Count of Orgaz, in the Church of Santo Tomé. Did you know that Greco himself lived in this wonderful city?
