Walking Tours, Madrid

They say in Spanish De Madrid al cielo meaning “From Madrid to heaven”. Take a walking tour of Madrid to understand the spirit behind the adage and learn all about the eventful history of Madrid of the Habsburgs.

Madrid has a modern outlook with boulevards and trendy shopping areas, but the old quarters have picturesque streets. At the heart of Madrid is the historic Puerta del Sol (Gate of the Sun), where the radial network of city roads converge. One of the city wall gates in the 15th century, the Puerta del Sol and its namesake square have been witness to major historical events, including the Dos de Mayo uprising of 1808 during the Peninsular War against the French. Major landmarks around the square are the kilometro centro – symbolic centre of Spain, a statue of Charles III, the old Post Office which is now the office of the President of Madrid, the Tio Pepe sign, and statue of a bear and madrono tree which are symbols of Madrid.

To the west of the Puerta del Sol square are the Church of San Gines, Convent of Las Descalzas Reales, Plaza Mayor - a 17th century bustling square built to designs by Juan de Herrera, and the Teatro Real on Plaza Isabel II. Roads running west further lead up to the opulent Royal Palace, with the Cathedral of Saint Mary the Royal of La Almudena, the San Miguel Market and the Las Letras Literary Quarter in the vicinity.

To the east of Puerta del Sol are the 17th century Buen Retiro Park, Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in the renovated Villahermosa Palace showcasing an extensive private collection of European art, Prado Museum, and Queen Sofia Museum of Modern Art.
