Rejseplan
Vores professionelle guide vil byde dig velkommen ved Kong Charles III-statuen på hovedtorvet - Puerta del Sol - og tage dig med på en vandretur gennem den historiske bymidte.
Se et af de mest prestigefyldte operahuse i Europa. I over fem årtier var det vært for tidens mest berømte sangere og komponister.
Se det største fungerende kongeslot og det største efter etageareal i Europa. Det kongelige palads i Madrid er den spanske kongefamilies officielle residens, selvom det nu primært fungerer som museum. Desuden bruges det til statslige ceremonier.
Almudena-katedralen er den vigtigste religiøse bygning i Madrid. Den blev indviet af pave Johannes Paul II den 15. juni 1993, hvilket gjorde den til den første katedral, der blev indviet uden for Rom. Alle andre spanske hovedbyer havde århundreder gamle katedraler, og Madrid har også gamle kirker, men opførelsen af Almudena begyndte først i 1879. Det nygotiske interiør er unikt moderne, med kapeller og statuer af nutidige kunstnere, i heterogene stilarter, fra historiske genoplivninger til "pop-art" indretning.
Plaza de la Villa er en dejlig lille plads, omkranset på tre sider af bygninger, der repræsenterer Madrids forskellige arkitekturstile, fra den såkaldte Múdejar til barok. I det 17. århundrede var det hovedtorvet i byen.
Beliggende i hjertet af Madrid er Mercado de San Miguel et monument over det spanske køkken. Et mødested for madelskere og byens berømte vartegn.
Se Plaza Mayor, en storslået arkadeplads i centrum af Madrid. Den symmetriske rektangulære plads har en ensartet arkitektur. Det var engang centrum af det gamle Madrid. Det blev først bygget (1580-1619) under Filip III's regeringstid. Det er meget populært blandt både turister og lokale.
Se gaden med flest tapas i Madrid. Cava Baja er en snoet, munter gade, der skærer lige gennem byens hjerte og myldrer på begge sider med farverige taverner og barer.
De smalle og snoede gader i dette uregelmæssigt anlagte område, der for det meste går tilbage til middelalderen, fører normalt til et torv. De fleste af dem lå uden for den middelalderlige befæstede landsby og skaffede bolig til rigtig mange købmænd, som solgte deres varer på markedet. Denne kommercielle tradition giver stadig genlyd i adskillige gade- og pladsnavne, såsom Plaza de la Cebada (Bygpladsen), hvor bondemarkedet plejede at blive holdt, Plaza de los Carros (vognspladsen), Plaza de la Paja (halmpladsen) , eller endda El Rastro (som skyldes sit navn på blodsporet fra det gamle slagteri), byens mest kendte loppemarked.
I det syttende århundrede havde den spanske litteraturs guldalder, Cervantes, Lope de Vega, Quevedo, Tirso de Molina og Góngora blandt andre forfattere deres hjem her – deraf navnet. Nogle af gaderne i dette kvarter hylder dette og andre strålende kapitler af spansk historie, kultur og kunst.

I had the pleasure of taking the Half-Day Private Tour in Madrid with our fantastic guide, Veronika, and it was an unforgettable experience. We were a group of 12 ladies and she managed to keep us all together and answer our questions. From the moment we met, Veronika's deep knowledge of art and history was evident. She explained the history behind Madrid's most iconic landmarks, including the grandeur of the Royal Palace. What made this tour stand out was Veronika’s passion for the art and history of Madrid. As an art historian, she shared fascinating insights that went beyond the surface-level facts. She could connect the dots between different time periods, providing a rich, layered understanding of the city’s cultural heritage. The pace of the tour was perfect—Veronika was very attentive to our interests, allowing us to spend more time in the places that piqued our curiosity and offering a more relaxed pace at others. The private nature of the tour gave us plenty of opportunities to ask questions and delve deeper into the history of each site. It felt like having a personal art historian showing us around Madrid, and her enthusiasm truly made the experience special. In addition to the fantastic historical context, Veronika's friendly demeanor and engaging storytelling made the tour both informative and fun. She was also excellent at providing suggestions for things to do in Madrid after the tour, making sure we didn’t miss out on any hidden gems. I highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in exploring Madrid’s rich history and art scene. Veronika’s expertise and passion made it a 5-star experience. Thank you for such a memorable day in Madrid!
Veronika was amazing. We had a small family tour (three of us total) and she brought a deep knowledge of the city’s history, art and architecture, and hidden gems (we went back for the orange cookies!). She easily identified our interests and catered to our curiosity. She answered so many questions and has an uplifting, joyful personailty. A highlight of our trip.
Veronica was an excellent guide! She was extremely friendly and welcoming. She has developed a tour that was truly memorable, as well as thorough within the time allotted. I would highly recommend Veronica for anyone looking for a good introduction to highlights of Madrid!
Excellent tour of Madrid’s most significant monuments and neighborhoods with very knowledgeable tour guide, Weronika. She shared history and interesting details about the city. As an introduction to first time visitors it was perfect!
Our guide Veronika gave us a look at Madrid's history far beyond what we had been able to research on our own! We learned about the political forces behind Madrid's art and architecture, and how powerful families and popular uprisings shaped the medieval and modern city. We also enjoyed churros in the historic center and a coffee at a quiet spot in La Latina, and got some inside tips on the best places to visit for a cocktail, people-watching, and other "off the beaten track" activities.
Thank you very much for this review. It was a pleasure to show you Madrid and I´m really glad that you enjoyed the tour
Actually the best guide i had so far. EVER! Weronika is very passionate about Madrid and knows a lot about history of the city and also as a local, she knows nice (not obvious) places if u want to grab some cerveza :) The tour wasn't a typical one, lead by a guide with a monotonous voice. It was educating, interesting and fun. I recommend Weronica wth all my heart!
Very good tour around the city center. She showed us the local places out of the touristic higway (of course she also showed us the turistic places) The visitt was so genuine. Me and my friends ejoyed it so much.
Thank you very much for this nice review :)
