Itinerary

1

Teatro Real

Our meeting point is next to the Opera Metro Station, in front of the Royal Theatre. Your guide will be holding a sign with The Touring Pandas logo.

2

Royal Palace of Madrid

With over 3.000 rooms, this building is Europe's largest royal palace: it is twice the size of Buckingham Palace!

3

Catedral de Sta Maria la Real de la Almudena

The Cathedral of La Almudena is one of the finest examples of neoclassical architecture in Spain. This magnificent cathedral is where the King and the Queen of Spain celebrated their marriage in 2004.

4

Plaza de la Villa

This picturesque plaza is now a very quiet place in the center of Madrid. But it was far busier in the past! The building on the right side of the square used to be the City Hall until it was moved to the Palacio de Cibeles in 2007.

5

Mercado San Miguel

San Miguel is one of Madrid's oldest markets, now turned into a mecca of modern cuisine and trendy tapas! Don't miss the chance to take a glimpse at the people coming and going, the shouting and the laughter. Will you resist the temptation to take some gourmet souvenirs?

6

Plaza Mayor

This majestuous plaza surrounded by arches is one of the most popular to have a drink and spend a pleasant afternoon under the sun. This place in the heart of Madrid is always full of life and it's one of the best to find a good Bocata de Calamares!

7

Puerta del Sol

Our tour ends at the Puerta del Sol, the most famous plaza in Madrid. This place is famous because it's the main venue to welcome the New Year. The plaza is full of anecdotes and curiosities like Spain's km0, the Tio Pepe advertisement...

8

Torres Bermejas

At the end of the tour you will enjoy a genuine, 60-min live flamenco show at the famous tablao Torres Bermejas.
