Free Tour: History & Hidden Gems
Overview of the tour in Madrid
Embark on an unparalleled adventure with our Madrid experience. This epic journey begins in the artistic soul of Madrid, at the foot of the Goya statue, where the legends and brushstrokes of bygone days are revived. Our path leads us through the iconic Puerta del Sol and the revered Plaza Mayor. At the Plaza de Ópera, you will be enveloped by the melodies of zarzuela, and within the Royal Palace, the whispers of aristocracy will unveil ancient tales. At each juncture, you’ll encounter observational challenges that will reveal Madrid’s deepest secrets to you.
The crowning moment could be the ascent to the Riu Plaza terrace at Plaza España, offering you breathtaking 360-degree views. However, this access is completely optional. Travelers on the Free Walking Tour mode have the freedom to decide whether to ascend or not, considering that the entrance fee to Riu Plaza is €5 from Monday to Friday and €10 on weekends, payable directly at the entrance.
This tour is presented as a Free Walking Tour, meaning there is no set upfront cost, and it is up to the traveler to provide a gratuity based on their level of satisfaction with the experience provided.
This activity includes:
- Puerta del Sol
