Retiro Park and Cibeles Palace Walking Tour in Madrid

Start this walking tour with a visit to the Cibeles Palace. This beautiful building was built in what at that time were the Jardines del Buen Retiro. You enter with the guide and, after getting to know the interior, from its rooftop you can enjoy an incredible view of the Gran Vía. Don’t forget your camera! Then continue to Alcalá Street to enter Retiro Park. In the 17th century, the Count-Duke of Olivares designed a space for the recreation of the king and his court, giving rise to the Jardines del Buen Retiro. Our guide will explain the historical context behind the park’s most outstanding attractions. You can marvel at the size of the Big Pond, be dazzled by the beauty of the Crystal Palace, contemplate the Fountain of the Galapagos, or discover the legend of the statue of the Fallen Angel. Lose yourself in its beautiful places, surrounded by trees and animals. At the end of the tour, you can stay in the park, as it has many corners where you can sit down to rest and take a break from the stress of the city.
