2. WAH: The Ultimate Musical and Gastronomic Show for Christmas in Madrid

Looking for a different option this holiday season? Experience a show Vegas-style and get ready to heat up this chilly winter!

“WAH” is a unique spectacle that combines live music with an innovative gastronomic proposal promising:

  • Tasting the finest cuisine from the 5 continents 🍜
  • Sampling the city’s most famous cocktails 🍹
  • Grooving to tunes that defined our lives 🕺
  • Celebrating like never before at a unique after-show party 🤪

And if you think this activity is just for adults, you’re mistaken! If you want to share this experience with the little ones 👩‍👩‍👧, “WAH” offers a “Matinee Lunch and Show” option. Unlike the nighttime option (Dinner and Show), with the morning option, “Lunch and Show,” your children enter for free.

4. Explore Madrid at Your Own Pace: Hop on the Tour Bus and Discover the Best Chocolatiers ☕

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.
