If you’re visiting Madrid during this time, you’re in luck! Christmas transforms the city into a dazzling stage adorned with lights and decorations, creating an unparalleled visual spectacle.
This Christmas, we suggest exploring Madrid from a different perspective with the Madrid City Tour tourist bus. The panoramic views from our Hop on Hop off bus will allow you to capture the best photos of the Christmas decorations as you visit the most famous landmarks in Madrid.
The Prado Museum, Plaza de Cibeles, the famous Temple of Debod, or Puerta del Sol are just a few of the more than 15 stops the Madrid tourist bus has to offer. Create your own itinerary at your own pace, free from the constraints of public transportation and the typical delays of this season.
Moreover, we recommend spending an afternoon visiting the ☕ chocolatiers located in the city center to taste exquisite desserts and immerse yourself in the festive atmosphere. We suggest starting with the traditional Chocolatería San Ginés, located just a step away from Plaza Mayor. You won’t regret it!
Music, markets, ice rinks—Madrid has everything to make your Christmas the best one yet!
5. Excursion to Toledo: Christmas Markets and Gastronomy
Toledo, with its medieval charm, becomes a must-visit destination during Christmas. Its markets brim with charm and craftsmanship, and the exquisite taste of marzipan (“mazapan” in spanish), the sweet king of Christmas, becomes an unmissable delight.
Did you know that Toledo is home to the oldest marzipan workshop in the world? The San Telesforo workshop has been making the finest marzipans since 1806. Over 200 years of tradition have resulted in the best recipe. You can’t miss trying them during your visit to Toledo!
Make the most of your free time during your tour to Toledo, visit the San Telesforo marzipan shop, and surprise your family with a sweet gift.
