Overview

Free Tour "Millennium Madrid" explores Madrid de los Austrias, the Habsburg-era historical center, on a pay-what-you-want basis. Xtreme Tours Madrid runs the walk, which lasts 2 hours 30 minutes and is booked through GuruWalk. Its GuruWalk listing shows a rating of 4.51 out of 5, drawn from 763 reviews.

What The Route Covers

The walk stays inside Madrid de los Austrias, the oldest quarter of the historical center. Expect the squares, narrow lanes and imperial facades of the Habsburg core rather than the grand nineteenth-century boulevards further out. The listing keeps its focus on the historical center itself, so the route stays tight around Plaza Mayor and the streets nearby.
