Panoramic sightseeing tour of Madrid
Sightseeing tour through the most important and representative avenues, streets and squares of Madrid to admire its buildings and monuments. The oldest quarter with its densely built streets, constitute what is known as Madrid’s Seventeenth Century “Austrian” quarter where the austere exteriors of its palaces contrast sharply with their luxurious interiors. The Eighteenth-Century neo-classical architecture is splendidly represented in the Royal Palace, the Sabatini Gardens and “Campo del Moro”, the Alcalá Gate, Paseo del Prado and famous Cibeles and Neptuno fountains. Madrid’s most modern and avantgarde tendencies are to be found in its newer quarters, with their orderly street layout such as the “Gran Via” built early in the 20
Century, and the “Paseo de la Castellana” ,in turn, which cuts across the city from North to South, is lined by boldly designed avant-garde buildings and crowned by the twin towers known as the Gate to Europe, which have come to symbolise modern Madrid. Duration: 2.5 hours
