1.
Our Tour starts at the Main office of Fun and Tickets
2. Puerta del Sol
Puerta del Sol is a square in the Spanish city of Madrid. It has been home to the so-called Zero Kilometer of the country's radial roads since 1950.
3. Paseo del Prado
We will continue our tour, leaving behind the medieval streets of the center and we will find ourselves on the other side of the city. Bourbon Madrid: Great streets and impressive ensembles of early 20th century architecture, from Art Deco to Neo-Mudéjar. Calle de Alcalá and Paseo del Prado, where you will find the famous institutions that make Madrid one of the main cities in the world
4. Palacio de Cibeles
The "Communications Palace" became at the beginning of the 21st century the new headquarters of the Madrid City Council and, in doing so, changed its name to "Palacio de Cibeles". We will know its history throughout its hundred years.
5. Banco de Espana
The main headquarters of the Bank of Spain is located next to Plaza de Cibeles, Calle de Alcalá, Paseo del Prado, Calle de los Madrazo and Calle del Marqués de Cubas. The Bank of Spain, as an institution, was created in 1856, as a result of the merger of Banco de Isabel II with Banco de San Fernando in 1847, and its first headquarters was the building of the Five Major Guilds, located on Calle de Atocha from the capital to the Plaza de Cibeles.
6. Palacio de Linares
Casa de América is one of the most active cultural institutions of our city. With a view to fostering contact between the Latin-American peoples and Spain, it organises all kinds of cultural activities (exhibitions, lectures, film and literary cycles, etc.). Its premises, the Palacio de Linares in the Art Walk, are a real jewel which must be visited. The limestone building, with its clean lines, the work of Carlos Colubí, Adolf Ombrecht and Manuel Aníbal Álvarez, houses an interior rich in furniture, lamps and bronzes from Paris, crystal from Antwerp, carpets from the Royal Tapestry Factory and a choice collection of paintings by artists of the stature of Francisco Pradilla, Manuel Domínguez and Alejandro Ferrant.
7. Literary Quarter (Barrio de Las Letras)
In the old heart of Madrid we will find the literary neighborhood 'Barrio de las Letras', named after some of the greatest writers, poets and playwrights in history made their home. We will walk through this beautiful neighborhood of the Barrio de las Letras, while your tour guide shares with you the stories of some of the best writers in history: Miguel de Cervantes, Federico García Lorca and even the American Ernest Hemingway. You will also pass by the houses of the great Spanish writers Cervantes, Lope de Vega and Góngora.
