Deal overview
On this guided tour of Madrid, you will be able to discover not only the most beautiful things about the capital but also the history of this incredible city under the rule of Charles III.
The route begins set in the 18th century during the death of Charles II, the last Austria, and the rise to kingship of Philip V of Felipe D'Anjou, the first Bourbon.
The guide will explain the changes of the Bourbon dynasty, the new enlightened ideas and how the capital will be modernized, making Madrid take the step to become a cosmopolitan city comparable to Paris or London.
The route is full of historical data but also legends, curiosities and anecdotes that will make this walk an unforgettable experience. Covering the Puerta de Alcalá, Plaza de la Cibeles and, of course, Neptuno, your knowledge of all of Madrid's history will be expanded. In addition, you will know the history of the Prado Museum and the Botanical Garden.
You will delve into the anecdotes of the Royal Factories and Academies. You will also be able to discover the birth of the Casa de Correos and the Bank of Spain, the strange relationship between Spain and the Independence of the United States.
We will put a face to some of the most discreet spies in our History, as well as the most awake and clever politicians of our past.
It will be a cultural leisure plan to discover, whether you are a tourist or a local from Madrid, with family or not, as a couple or with friends, a new story of the History of Madrid.
