This is a half-day tour with visits to the Royal Palace and Prado Museum. Starting at 10:00 AM at the Royal Palace, one of the biggest in Europe, we’ll learn about the history of Madrid and all of Royal Spain. You’ll visit some of the palace’s most majestic rooms and areas, including the gran staircase, dining hall, royal chapel, and throne room. After finishing this visit, you’ll head to the Prado museum by taxi, enjoying a quick panoramic ride past some of Madrid’s most famous sites.

The Royal collection of the Prado museum houses a variety of the world’s most important paintings by artists such as Velazquez, Goya, Fra Angelico, and Bosch. You will see a selection of masterpieces whose history Marijn will explain, as well as the different Spanish historic periods that they were created during. The tour will finish at about 2:00 PM. You may stay in the museum for as long as you’d like, or I’d be happy to make recommendations for an authentic lunch nearby.

This half-day excursion to Toledo starts at Madrid’s Atocha train station at 9:00 AM, with arrival to Toledo at 10:00. We’ll take a panoramic taxi ride from the Toledo train station in to the city’s former Jewish quarter. Here, we will visit a medieval synagogue and the Saint John Monastery built by the Catholic Monarchs.

After the first visits, we’ll wind our way through the streets of the medina-like historic center, making our way for a visit to the cathedral in the heart of the city. The tour will finish at about 1:00 PM, which is the perfect time for lunch.

From here, you can enjoy a lovely meal and explore more of Toledo on your own, or head straight back to Madrid. I can arrange your train tickets for right after the tour or a later hour to give you more time to explore Toledo on your own. I’m also happy to recommend a great spot to eat and help you make a reservation.
