Activity itinerary

Plaza de la Villa

  • 5m
A charming square in Madrid’s old town, Plaza de la Villa features medieval architecture and historic buildings. You’ll see the 15th-century Casa de Cisneros, the elegant Casa de la Villa (former town hall), and the Gothic Torre de los Lujanes. It's a quiet, atmospheric corner that transports you to Madrid’s civic past.

Plaza Mayor

  • 5m
This iconic rectangular plaza has been Madrid’s social heart since the 16th century. Surrounded by uniform red facades and arcades, it’s a hub for street performers, markets, and terraces. Spot the bronze statue of King Philip III and imagine coronations and bullfights that once enlivened the square's paved floor.

Plaza de Pontejos

  • 5m
A smaller, less crowded square just steps from Plaza Mayor, Plaza de Pontejos exudes a quaint charm. Unique pigeon wire domes top the central kiosk, and the terrace cafés offer a tranquil retreat. It’s an intimate pause between more bustling landmarks.

Puerta del Sol

  • 5m
Madrid’s central meeting point, Puerta del Sol, buzzes with energy. Look for the famous “Kilometre Zero” plaque marking the city’s distance scale, the beloved Bear and Strawberry Tree statue, and the buzzing crowds around shops, cafés, and street artists.

Plaza de Canovas del Castillo

  • 5m
Known informally as Cánovas Square, this elegant roundabout is centred around a majestic fountain of Neptune. It’s a popular meeting point and a scenic spot, framed by grand boulevards and bustling with traffic and life day and night.

Prado National Museum

  • 5m
One of the world’s premier art museums, the Prado houses masterpieces by Velázquez, Goya, El Greco, and Bosch. Even pausing outside, the museum's neoclassical façade and grand entry set the stage for an unforgettable glimpse into Spain's golden artistic heritage.

Plaza Murillo

  • 5m
Bordering the Prado and Retiro Park, this small square honours painter Bartolomé Esteban Murillo. It’s shaded and serene, with benches and low-key charm—an ideal spot to relax and reflect after viewing fine art at the museum.

Estacion de Atocha

  • 5m
Madrid’s oldest railway hub, Atocha Station combines commuter bustle with architectural appeal. Admire the grand iron-and-glass hall, the memorial garden of native trees, and the tropical indoor garden—an oasis amid rushing travellers.

Parque del Retiro

  • 5m
This vast green lung, once the royal family’s private retreat, invites you into peaceful pathways, grand gardens, and boating lakes. Highlights include the Rosaleda (rose garden), the peaceful paseo alongside the lake, and dancers or musicians on its promenades.

Plaza del Angel

  • 5m
A surprising find within Retiro Park: this circular plaza features the dramatic Fallen Angel statue, one of the few in the world depicting Lucifer. The moody sculpture evokes questions of myths and rebellion, offering a thought-provoking break amid greenery.

Puerta de Alcala

  • 5m
  • Admission ticket not included
A grand neoclassical gate that once marked the edge of the city, Puerta de Alcalá stands proud at Plaza de la Independencia. Its five arches and sculpted details are a beloved photo stop, especially dramatic against the backdrop of leafy boulevards.

Cibeles Fountain

  • 5m
One of Madrid’s most photographed fountains, it depicts goddess Cibeles riding a chariot pulled by lions. It symbolises the city’s spirit, and nearby landmarks include the grand Palacio de Cibeles. The flow of cars and celebrants makes it feel alive.

Plaza de Espana

  • 5m
A broad, welcoming plaza dominated by a monument to Cervantes and flanked by twin towers. With its long fountains and leafy promenade, this is a sociable and scenic hub that's perfect for photos and street-life watching.

Plaza de Oriente

  • 5m
Facing the Royal Palace, this formal square is laid out with symmetrical gardens and bronze statues of Spanish kings. It's a regal gathering space, offering photo-worthy perspectives of grand architecture and classic landscape design.

Royal Palace of Madrid

  • 5m
  • Admission ticket not included
The city’s official royal residence may be used for state ceremonies, but its vast exterior gives a majestic finish to the tour. You’ll cycle past its grand façade, marble courtyards, and ornamental gardens, feeling its royal legacy in every corner.
