Itinerary

1

Madrid

See Madrid through the eyes of someone who calls it home—uncovering its hidden corners, vibrant culture, and untold stories with a passionate local by your side. This isn’t just a tour—it’s a City Unscripted experience: real people, real connections, designed around you, full of authentic moments and unforgettable discoveries. Before your adventure begins, you’ll receive a short online questionnaire so we can craft an itinerary that reflects your interests—whether it’s exploring historic plazas, tasting local flavors, or finding tucked-away neighborhoods only locals know. Here are some highlights to spark your curiosity:

2

Puerta del Sol

Begin your day in the heart of Madrid at its most symbolic square. Learn the story behind the city’s “Kilometer Zero” point, then follow your host through nearby streets, alive with local shops, street performers, and vibrant café terraces that capture everyday life.

3

Plaza Mayor

Step into one of Madrid’s grandest squares, framed by red-brick arcades and ornate balconies. Once a bustling marketplace and setting for royal celebrations, it remains a timeless symbol of the city’s history and communal spirit.

4

La Latina

Stroll through the winding lanes of this centuries-old district, home to traditional tapas bars, artisan boutiques, and leafy plazas. Your host will reveal the quieter corners where locals gather, offering a glimpse into Madrid’s authentic daily rhythm.

El Rastro

Explore the surrounding streets of Spain’s most famous flea market district. Even outside of market hours, the area brims with vintage shops, family-run stores, and creative spaces that reflect the city’s independent spirit.

6

Parque del Retiro

End your experience in Madrid’s most cherished park. Stroll beneath centuries-old trees, pass by tranquil ponds, and reflect on the day’s discoveries in peaceful surroundings that capture the city’s slower, more soulful side.
