We pause near Spain’s most famous museum. While we don’t enter, your guide will share the significance of this institution and some of the masterpieces housed inside.
An iconic neoclassical fountain representing the sea god Neptune. It’s a symbol of Madrid’s cultural pride and the meeting point for Atlético de Madrid fans.
We officially enter Madrid’s most beloved green space—a 125-hectare park full of art, nature, and history.
Fuente del Angel Caido
The only known public statue in the world dedicated to Lucifer. Set at 666 meters above sea level, this sculpture is both fascinating and eerie.

A beautifully maintained rose garden, featuring dozens of varieties in spring and summer. A fragrant, colorful highlight of the park.
The most photographed spot in the park. This spectacular glass palace reflects off a peaceful pond and houses rotating art installations.

Monumento A Alfonso XII
A grand monument to the former king, featuring a semicircular colonnade and a central statue overlooking the lake—a popular gathering spot.
One of Madrid’s most famous landmarks. This neoclassical triumphal arch once served as a city gate and now stands as a proud symbol of Madrid.

A magnificent fountain of the goddess Cybele, often associated with Real Madrid football celebrations. It’s flanked by the stunning Cybele Palace and other key buildings.
Calle de Alcala
One of the city’s oldest and longest streets, showcasing diverse architecture from baroque to modern. The ride along here is a visual feast.
