You’ll also visit the vast Plaza Mayor square and Puerta del Sol with its famous clock tower. 

Next, hop aboard the air-conditioned bus for a whistle-stop whiz around some of Madrid’s best-loved attractions. This part of the tour includes a chance to see the Napoleonic-era Puerta de Toledo triumphal arch, the ancient city gate of Puerta de Alcalá, and Puente de Segovia, a splendid Roman aqueduct-style stone bridge that dates back to the 1580s.

As you cruise riverside, you’ll also enjoy fantastic panoramas that take in the enormous Royal Palace and fine neo-classical cathedral.

Soccer fans will enjoy spotting the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, home of Real Madrid – the Spanish soccer league's most successful team of all time – and the Fountain of Cybele, the 18th-century monument where fans traditionally celebrate their team’s victories.
