Tour description

Discover with me Madrid’s most famous park in the city center, the Parque del Buen Retiro

Originally created as a retreat for the Royal Family. Opened to the public in the late 1700s.

Although the lake is man-made, the peaceful waters set in front of the massive columns and statues of the Alfonso XII monument are a sight to see, especially around sunset.

Also the Palacio de Cristal, The building is surrounded by a small lake where terrapins, frogs and ducks all live together, and you can get a gorgeous photo of the palace, with the lake, trees and sunshine all in perfect harmony.

For a little bit of Spain’s royal history, wander down the Paseo de la Argentina, also known as the Paseo de las Estatuas, or the Statue Walk. As you might guess from the name, the path is lined and decorated with 18th century statues of Spain’s past royalty.
