Lisbon to Madrid Express - 5 Days

We depart from Lisbon at 7:30 a.m.and head across the Spanish border to Caceres, where we have free time to explore the atmospheric Plaza Mayor and wander through the remarkably preserved medieval old town, recognised as a World Heritage Site. After lunch at our own pace, we continue to Madrid and settle in for the night.

Please note: This tour is bi-lingual, and will be conducted in Spanish as well as in English. 

Meeting Point: Hotel Lutecia Smart Design, Av. Frei Miguel Contreiras 52, 1749-086 Lisboa, Portugal at 7:30.

After breakfast, we get to know the Spanish capital on a guided morning tour, taking in key sights including grand boulevards, historic squares and notable landmarks. The afternoon is free to explore more at our own pace—perhaps browse the boutiques, relax in Retiro Park or visit one of Madrid’s many museums.

Please note: A tour escort is not provided during the stay in Madrid. Madrid tours operate as part of a regular shared service

This morning we journey south to the ancient city of Toledo. From the Mirador del Valle, we enjoy panoramic views before heading into the old town on foot to discover its winding lanes and blend of Christian, Jewish and Moorish heritage. We return to Madrid with the afternoon free to continue exploring.

Today is completely at leisure. We might visit the Royal Palace, delve into the collections of the Prado or Reina Sofia, or enjoy an optional excursion to El Escorial, Avila or Segovia. In the evening, Madrid’s tapas bars and lively neighbourhoods are perfect for soaking up the local atmosphere.

After breakfast our tour concludes. Safe Travels!
