The gorgeous El Retiro, is spread over a magnificent 350 acres and dotted with over 15000 species of trees. Popular with both locals and tourists alike, the park is home to the pristine Retiro Pond, the marvellous Crystal Palace, the exquisite Gate of Philip IV, the fascinating Royal Observatory, as well as a host of eye-popping sculptures and fountains. Witness all these iconic highlights with our expert guide who will also treat you to intriguing anecdotes about the city and the El Retiro park. You will also have a chance to indulge in fun rowing session on the lake or just laze around on the grass before heading home - a perfectly recreational half day in the pretty city of Madrid!

After the tour of the park, you will meet the English guide at 12:30pm and the Spanish guide at 3:30pm at Plaza de Isabel II just outside the metro exit Ópera. Incepted in the late 18th century with the first occupancy of King Carlos III, the stunning Baroque palace is home to a riveting collection of tapestries, ceramics, old watches, swords and army and famous artworks by grand masters such as Goya and Velázquez. Regale in the turbulent history of one of the greatest European nations as you explore the beautiful palace including the Throne Room, the Hall of Mirrors, the Banquet Hall and the private Royal Apartments, as well as the lovely English Gardens which has two splendid neo-classical fountains and some incredible flower arrangements.
