About this experience
Madrid takes pride in its parks and lush gardens. The most popular of them is Retiro. The park is rightly considered one of the city's highlights. We will walk through its countless paths in the shade of ancient trees, admire the Crystal Palace and peacocks. I will explain why Retiro is an integral part of Madrilenian life and an important detail in the history of the royal family.
What to expect
- Get acquainted with the history of the Paseo del Prado, adjacent to Retiro Park
- Stroll through shady gardens and along the picturesque pond promenade
- Admire the architectural landmarks of the park
- Take photos with the leisurely strolling peacocks
- Observe the amazing example of steel architecture - the Crystal Palace
- Learn how historical events in Madrid have influenced the development of Retiro
Organizational details
- In windy weather, the park is closed due to the risk of falling branches - fortunately, this happens rarely. However, the tour will have to be canceled or rescheduled on such days.
- In winter, the park may feel colder than the rest of Madrid, so remember gloves and a scarf
