El Retiro Park, officially known as Parque del Buen Retiro, is far more than just a green space in central Madrid—it's an open-air museum and a journey through history and art. With this guided tour ticket, you’ll enjoy an immersive walk across its 118 hectares, filled with sculptures, palaces, and gardens that have witnessed centuries of Spanish history.

Your guide will reveal how this area, once reserved for royalty, became a public park in 1767 under King Charles III. Although parts of it were damaged during the French invasion, significant elements from the 17th and 18th centuries remain. During the tour, you’ll marvel at the grand monument to Alfonso XII beside the Grand Pond, the romantic Crystal Palace, the elegant Felipe IV Gate, and hidden gems like the Chapel of San Pelayo and San Isidoro, dating back to the Romanesque period.

Wander among centuries-old trees, historic sculptures, and meticulously landscaped gardens while listening to stories and anecdotes that turn this visit into a rich cultural and sensory experience. El Retiro is more than a park—it’s a symbol of Madrid, a place that changes with the seasons and captivates every visitor.
