When it comes to a trip to Spain, too often it is linked to Barcelona or Madrid and that certainly makes touring the towns of Madrid a wonderful experience. Of course, for those who are about to visit the country for the first time, these two destinations are really the first choice, but it is best to do it with the help of tourism experts such as Wonder Tours.

In addition, Spain can offer many unconventional destinations that leave the community of Madrid itself to enrich your itinerary by offering you an unforgettable holiday. That is why, as one of the best tour agencies in Madrid, we have decided to guide you in the choice of destinations that you should not miss if you decide to visit Spain.

So let’s start by discovering the most important sights of Madrid, and then focus on some of the lesser-known destinations that will make your next holiday unique. In addition, we will talk about how easy it is to visit Madrid if you have the best advice on it. 

You can do a Madrid tour for free or very cheap

If you are wondering the feasibility of a Madrid tour price, accommodation and itinerary we should say that once you travel to Europe, you may be pleasantly surprised to see the ease of transfer whether on a Madrid bus or train tour. And there’s a wide range of accommodation available, from large hotels originally built during the Victorian era railroad boom, to cheerful, cheap hostels, Airbnb-style rentals or fancy accommodations like boats, old lighthouses and windmills.

Many can easily be found walking not far from the station, or perhaps prefer to stay a little further away from all the noise that inevitably arises when you are near such an extensive transport network. The truth is that a well-planned tour with the right agency can be very economical.

Tours from Madrid to Europe

One of the most interesting and economical options are excursions from Madrid by train. The night train network in Europe is not very extensive, but it is full of possible options. The night trains available will take you, for example, from Amsterdam to Berlin, and from Paris to Venice via Milan.

A night on the European railways does not cost much. You can book a bed in a shared cabin for 30€ if you book in advance. And if you’re willing to spend a little more, you can enjoy a private cabin with bath and shower and an international breakfast brought to the cabin by a butler: you’ll wake up happy and just in time to disembark at your destination.

When it comes to tours from Madrid to Portugal, some of the more scenic trips include the Douro Valley Line in Portugal, the Flåm Railway in Norway and the Centovalli Railway between the Italian and Swiss Alps. It will certainly be an unparalleled journey to enjoy beautiful scenery.

Tours towns of Madrid

From Madrid, you can visit some nearby and equally fascinating cities. Here are some ideas for possible excursions to World Heritage cities and other nearby places. You can rent a car or travel by train or bus.

Alcalá de Henares

It is the city that saw the birth of the most famous Spanish writer, Miguel de Cervantes. In fact, here is the Museo-Casa Natal de Cervantes, which reproduces a house from the 16th century. Near the entrance of the museum you can see a statue of its most famous literary figures: Don Chosciotte and Sancho Panza. You definitely have to take a picture with them.

On the Alcalá de Henares itinerary you should not miss the beautiful Plaza de Cervantes, the Calle Mayor with its typical porches and the essential Corral de Comedias, as well as a visit to the Magistral Cathedral and the whole of the Colegio Mayor of San Ildefonso, which is currently the Rectorate of the University, one of the most beautiful buildings in the city.

Segovia

The visiting card of this World Heritage City of the community of Castile and León has no rival: the Roman aqueduct of the 1st century with a total of 167 arches joined together without mortar. Imposing.

After taking hundreds of photos, other “discoveries” await you, such as the Cathedral and the Alcázar, a palatial castle that rises on a hill like the bow of a boat. It seems to have been the inspiration for one of Disney’s famous castles. If you climb the 152 steps of the tower’s spiral staircase, you will enjoy incomparable panoramic views of the city.

Aranjuez

We return to the Community of Madrid to recommend Aranjuez, whose Cultural Landscape has been declared a World Heritage Site. And you will ask yourself: what is the Cultural Landscape? Basically it refers to a spectacular garden and monument like the Royal Palace, which will transport you 500 years ago, when the latter was the spring residence of kings and queens.

Of all the gardens, the largest is that of the Prince, with numerous marble and stone fountains, the Museo delle Falúas Royal and the beautiful building of the Royal House of Labrador.

San Lorenzo de El Escorial

The “pearl” of this Madrid town is undoubtedly one: the Royal Monastery of San Lorenzo del Escorial, also declared a World Heritage Site. This monument alone is worth the whole excursion. Built by King Philip II in the 16th century, this is not just a monastery: it houses a pantheon, a palace, a basilica, an impressive library… It has even come to be considered the “eighth wonder of the world”.
