Madrid Tour Packages

Madrid is a traveler's dream with its charming city center, magnificent palaces, stunning plazas and bustling markets. The city is fun, lively and exciting. On landing in Madrid, first make your way to the Gorgeous brick red and white Mayor plaza. While all the buildings in the square are red and white, however, one building stands out as it is covered in gorgeous paintings. There are several nice cozy cafes around the square where you can grab a cup of coffee before heading to the next sight on your itinerary. This place looks beautiful in photos so don’t forget to click a picture or two for your Instagram account.

Next, head to the Plaza de la Villa which was the main city square in medieval times. There is a stark difference that you will notice between Plaza De La villa and Mayor Plaza, as the former is more brick and stone and has a distinct old world look about it. Even the doors around this square promise to take you back in time with their strikingly ornate structures. Some of the historical buildings that you see here are the oldest in Madrid.

From hereon, go to the Mercado de San Miguel to feast your senses on some great food. The stalls at this market sell fresh produce, wine, sangria, beer, snacks and dessert. For a glimpse into Spain’s glorious past, visit The Royal palace of Madrid. Built in Baroque style, this stunning palace is known to have more than 1000 rooms. A small entry fee will take you inside this grand building built in the 18th century. The interiors of the grand building will leave you awe-struck with its painted ceilings, intricately woven carpets, classic paintings, huge crystal chandeliers and wall tapestries. Once you have had your fill of the interiors, walk outside to the beautifully curated Sabatini gardens and take a long stroll around the gardens.

A lesson in history and international cooperation that you must take on your trip is by visiting the Temple of Debod. The Temple was originally built in Egypt. Owing to the construction of a dam and the danger it posed to the Abu Simbel temples in Egypt, Spain played an active role in conservation of the aforementioned monuments. As a mark of gratitude, the Temple of Debod was gifted to Spain by the Egyptian state in 1968.

After a long day of sightseeing, get ready to unwind at the Parque del Buen Retiro, a popular public park of Madrid. This park is a good escape from the hustle bustle of the city with its lush greenery, lovely sculptures, big ponds, paddling of ducks and the Crystal Palace. The crystal palace is this huge ballroom-like structure made of Glass and Iron. This see-through building is used exclusively as a gallery for exhibits and is possibly the most beautiful and unusual gallery you have ever seen.

As your trip nears its end, go on a shopping spree at the Elrastro Street market. The market is busy and lively with musicians playing in the background as you shop for handmade souvenirs and throng the quaint antique shops.
