Madrid City Tours

Madrid is a capital that took shape around a court rather than a port, and it shows: the Royal Palace, the great museums along the Paseo del Prado and the formal squares are all products of that. What visitors tend to remember, though, is the street life — the city eats late and stays out later.

Tours split between the historic centre, the museum mile and food-led walks through the older barrios. All three work as half-days, which makes Madrid an easy city to see well in a short stay.
