Taking one of the many tours in Madrid, either by coach or on foot, is an excellent way to see the Spanish capital, one of Europe’s most elegant cities. A hop on, hop off bus tour gives a good overview of the city if it’s your first time visiting, while food lovers may opt for a wine tasting and tapas tour. Other tours focus on the city’s history or artistic legacy, especially the many great works on display at the Prado Museum, one of the best in the world. Madrid lies in the very centre of the country and is conveniently located for tours to nearby areas of interest. Popular excursions if you want to escape the city for a while include those to Toledo, Segovia ans Salamanca. Expect these longer tours to last most of the day, and many include lunch or dinner.
