Our 3-hour guided cycle tour, morning or afternoon, takes you to all Madrid's iconic sites and you may opt for the regular, or a private tour. Departing from our offices located only 3 minutes ride from Madrid's newest and most impressive urban redevelopment scheme, linking, in an entirely traffic-free pedestrian precinct with dedicated cycling lanes, the Plaza de Espana with the Senate House, Royal Palace, Plaza del Oriente, Royal Opera House, and Almudena Cathedral, we continue on cycle lanes to the Plaza Mayor, Puerta del Sol, Prado Museum and the Retiro Park and many other historical sites. Cycling through the historic city centre you can take in some off the beaten track gems and great pieces of street art. We’ll appreciate the lovely atmosphere of the city, like true madrileños, and you can enjoy your leisurely bike ride in total relaxation and safety.

The Royal Palace stands on the site of the former Alcázar of Madrid, a medieval fortress transformed into a lavish palace by Juan II, Carlos V and Felipe II who in 1561 made it the official residence of the Spanish Monarchy. The Alcázar was destroyed in a fire on Christmas Eve 1734. Felipe V then decided to raise a new Royal Palace on this site, employing the best architect in Europe at the time, Filippo Juvarra. When Juvarra died in 1736, his pupil Giambattista Sacchetti made various changes to his grandiose project. The entire building is made of a series of domes built without a single piece of wood and it has multiple floors to accommodate all the administrative offices, Crown officials and servants. - Patrimonio Nacional, Gobierno de España
The narrow and winding streets of this irregularly laid-out area, mostly dating back to the Middle Ages, usually lead onto a square. Most of them lay outside the Medieval walled village and provided accommodation to a great many merchants who sold their goods at the market. This commercial tradition still echoes in several street and square names, such as Plaza de la Cebada (Barley Square), where the farmers’ market used to be held, Plaza de los Carros (Carriage Square), Plaza de la Paja (Straw Square), or even El Rastro (owing its name to the blood trail of the old slaughterhouse), the city’s best-known flea market. - Official Tourism Website, Madrid
