Breakfast at the Hotel. In the morning we have a panoramic city tour in Madrid where we can discover the medieval origins of the city, like the Arabic Fortress, at the Barrio de la Morería, famous for its historical buildings.
We pass through the courtesan district of the Hapsburgs characterized by Phillip II and its Renaissance and Baroque style buildings, Puerta del Sol, Plaza Mayor and Plaza de la Villa, exploring the Madrid of the Bourbons and the complex town planning schemes of Charles III, the Royal Palace, Cibeles and Neptuno Fountains and the Puerta de Alcalá. Admire the XIX C. works, such as Prado Museum and the elegant Plaza de Oriente.
