One of the most scenic and delightful parts of Madrid is the Old Madrid neighborhood, a small and mainly undiscovered area that provides an assortment of authentic Spanish bars, taverns, and restaurants. Whether you are staying at a hotel nearby or you simply wish to explore the gastronomic delights of this neighborhood, you'll enjoy a walking Tapas Tour of Old Madrid.

Perhaps the only thing you will recognize on your tapas tour of Old Madrid is Botin, renowned as the oldest restaurant in the world. Yet this is just one of the many outstanding restaurants and bars in the area serving traditional Spanish cuisine, including tapas and the best wines Madrid has to offer.

On your visit to Madrid, you'll undoubtedly spend many hours touring its fabulous museums and historic attractions, relaxing in parks and plazas, and eating and drinking in cafes, bars and restaurants. There is a lot to enjoy in Madrid, but if you would like to experience the city from a truly unique perspective, take a ride on the Madrid Teleferico.

Madrid's Teleferico is a cable car that has been delighting tourists and locals since 1969. It is the premier way to view Madrid's beautiful historical center's cityscape, although it may take more than one trip to relax enough to take advantage of the incredible photo opportunities you'll have on board. At just a few euros per ride, there's no reason not to hop on board more more than once during your visit.
