Come with us on a journey through the rich history and artistic legacy that is to be found in the architecture, museums and galleries across the city of Madrid. The unique concept of Across Madrid was developed by art historian Dr. Almudena Cros, who has designed each walk to provide an experience of the highest quality. Expect to connect with new ideas, fresh themes, the latest interpretations, and depth of insight. Alongside this, Prof. Cros will ensure you have a flexible and fun experience, enriched by the latest insiders' tips and practical information.Across Madrid’s fourteen different itineraries cover more than five centuries of Madrid’s history. We take you back to its origins and into its rich and complex present. Detail and perspective are brought together for a better understanding of the city. Each walk or Master Class can be customized to your needs and interests, depending on the size of the group.
