Tour description

Join us to get to know the Barrio de los Austrias , that emblematic area of the capital populated by tourists and natives, where the traditional meets the current and the traces of monarchical dynasties, republics, dictatorships, democracies, uprisings and attacks converge. Through those streets of a virtual medieval layout, art, gardens, monuments, gastronomy and history are perfectly mixed , which makes Madrid one of the most visited cities in the world and the inspiration of the most varied creators, who for centuries they have paid homage to him with their work.
Stroll with us through the most essential Madrid, where you will discover the true origins of the capital , its past of fire and water , the same landscape that powerful kings, miraculous saints and attractive bandits traveled through, the town of palatial intrigues and the plebeian cliques , the squares of unjust executions and the corners of furtive romances, the place of war and reconstruction… the Madrid of yesterday and the Madrid of today! Let's walk, get to know and enjoy the city, let's go through the Austrias neighborhood together.

This tour ends at the Plaza de Oriente.

We will wait for you!
