Join a guided tour of Parque del Retiro, one of Madrid's most iconic parks, and delve into its history and beauty. This expansive park, covering 118 hectares, is a showcase of architecture, sculptures, and landscapes that span from the 17th to the 21st centuries.
The tour will guide you through monuments such as the Alfonso XII Monument, the Crystal Palace, the Great Pond, the Parterre, the Gate of Philip IV, the Royal Astronomical Observatory, and the Fountain of the Artichoke. A visit to the Chapel of San Pelayo and San Isidoro is also included in your exploration.
You'll learn about the park’s origins dating back to 1767 when Charles III permitted its use for recreational events. Despite enduring damage during the French invasion, it retains much of its charm from the 17th and 18th centuries. The park was eventually transformed into a public space in 1868. As you explore this verdant oasis, you'll uncover the hidden gems of this historic park.
