• Prado National Museum - Begin the tour by bypassing the line to enter the Prado art museum, which houses one of the world’s most remarkable collections of European art. Skip the crowds and proceed directly inside for a comprehensive tour of the museum’s highlights. During the tour, encounter the masters who have shaped Spanish art over the centuries, including court painters of the Spanish Royal Family and renowned artists like Goya, Velazquez, El Greco, Bosch, Tintoretto, and others. The guide will share the stories behind the artworks and explain why each piece is so esteemed—something that is challenging to achieve alone in a museum with over 1,000 pieces on display!

For a VIP experience, opt for the Prado Early Access option, which offers a guided tour of the galleries an hour before they open to the public.

• Plaza Mayor - After leaving the museum, stroll through the medieval streets of central Madrid, pausing at iconic landmarks such as the Plaza Mayor and the Puerta del Sol. The guide will narrate the transformation of the city from a Moorish empire outpost to a leading Catholic power in Europe. While these streets are steeped in history, they are now among the city’s trendiest neighborhoods. The guide will also provide tips on where to eat, shop, and relax to enhance the rest of your stay.
• Puerta del Sol - Enjoy sightseeing and a photo opportunity.

During the guided tour of the world’s largest functioning royal palace, visit the impressive chapel, the king’s and queen’s dressing rooms, the throne room—where the king and queen still receive bureaucrats today—and more.
