Full day tourism in Madrid
If you are looking for a full-day tour that gives you an in-depth look at Madrid's historic and most iconic sites, then the "Best of Madrid" tour is the one for you. Although it is possible to walk or use public transportation to explore this beautiful city, a private, personalized tour in a comfortable, air-conditioned car is definitely a much more enjoyable way to see it. On the morning of your tour, your Welcome driver will pick you up at your accommodation and take you on a tailor-made trip around the most popular places in Madrid. Every aspect of your tour is customizable and points of interest can be added or removed; However, we suggest using the following itinerary as a basis. You will begin your tour at the Bernabéu Stadium, home of Madrid's pride and joy, Real Madrid FC. From there you will drive along the picturesque Paseo de la Castellán towards Salamanca, the most exclusive neighborhood in Madrid. This vibrant neighborhood is full of designer boutiques, great restaurants, charming little tapas bars and even the world-famous Plaza de Toros. There are so many unique photo opportunities in Salamanca, but the best has to be outside of Las Ventas, the largest bullring in the world.Your next stop will be in the oldest neighborhood of Madrid, Calle Gran Vía, where you will have the opportunity to take a relaxing walk through the impressive Parque del Oeste Botanical Garden. This stop is the perfect opportunity to stretch your legs and enjoy the magical history of the Temple of Debob. From the Botanical Garden you will also have the opportunity to marvel at the majestic architecture of the Royal Palace of Madrid, rebuilt in 1755. Nearby is the historic Atocha train station, the Arc de Triomphe and some of the city's most impressive fountains.
