Plaza Mayor

Your guide will take you to your first tapas stop, where you’ll enjoy one of Madrid’s most cherished traditions. More than a meal, tapas are about sharing, conversation, and community. Your guide will introduce you to regional specialties and the stories behind them—how they’re made, where they come from, and why they matter. Pair each bite with a local wine or beer, and begin to understand the flavors that define Madrid’s food culture. Next, walk through the grand arcades of Plaza Mayor, the city’s most emblematic square. Once the site of royal ceremonies, theatrical performances, and lively markets, this impressive space has seen centuries of Madrid’s daily life unfold.
45 minutesAdmission Ticket Free

Plaza De Santa Ana

Continue the journey into the Literary Quarter, once the cultural heart of the city. Follow in the footsteps of Spain’s greatest writers—like Cervantes—and discover how this neighborhood helped shape Madrid’s creative identity during its Golden Age.
15 minutesAdmission Ticket Free

Barrio de Las Letras

Along the way, stop for more tapas, sampling traditional bites paired with local drinks. Your guide will again share the background of each dish, deepening your appreciation of Madrid’s culinary and cultural heritage. Do not forget to ask your guide for personalized recommendations to help you keep exploring Madrid’s culinary scene on your own.
2 hoursAdmission Ticket Free
5

Museo Nacional del Prado

Your experience concludes with a guided visit to the Prado Museum, one of the world’s most celebrated art galleries. Your guide will take you through the museum’s key masterpieces, sharing the stories behind the artists and their techniques—all at a pace that suits you. See Bosch’s The Garden of Earthly Delights, a triptych full of fascinating details and hidden symbolism. Stand before Goya’s Black Paintings and feel their powerful emotional impact. Admire El Greco’s vivid, expressive works, capturing the spiritual energy of Spain’s Golden Age. Take in the drama and richness of Rubens’ baroque compositions. And of course, pause before Velazquez’s iconic Las Meninas, a painting that continues to intrigue and inspire centuries after it was created.
