Trace Madrid’s origins on this 100-minute immersive walking tour enhanced with virtual reality glasses. Blending expert narration with HD historical reconstructions, the experience reveals how the Spanish capital evolved from a 9th-century settlement into a vibrant European city.

The journey begins at Plaza de Oriente, where sweeping views frame the Royal Palace and highlight the city’s early development under Moorish rule. Nearby Plaza de la Armería and Plaza de la Villa reflect Madrid’s medieval foundations and Habsburg legacy. In Plaza Mayor, once the site of markets, celebrations, and public events, participants discover how the square transformed over centuries. The route concludes at Puerta del Sol, the symbolic heart of Spain and the point from which the nation’s roads are measured.

Through virtual overlays layered onto today’s streetscape, guests gain a vivid understanding of Madrid’s political, cultural, and architectural milestones in an engaging and accessible format.
