Madrid: Tour Bernabéu Entry Ticket

1.Tour Bernabéu Entry Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 21,573 reviews · 1.5 hours · from $41Our pick

Explore Real Madrid’s Bernabéu Stadium at your own pace during this 1.5-hour, self-guided visit. See the trophy collection, interactive museum, panoramic stands, changing rooms, dugouts, kits, and memorabilia from football, basketball, and women’s teams. Match-day operations may close some areas.

“Wasn’t a guided tour but it was still a great tour to take - you see lots and whether you’re a football fan or not I think you’d be amazed by the sites within this stadium - you can sit in stadium and enjoy a beer then move downwards to the changing rooms and pitch side to take pics down where the action happens - tour ends in the very expensive merchandise shop where football shirts cost €100 for kids and €175 for adults 😮”

Madrid: “Emociones” Live Flamenco Performance

3.“Emociones” Live Flamenco Performance

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 12,866 reviews · 1 day · from $34

Spend one hour at Teatro Flamenco Madrid, billed as the world’s first flamenco theater. Watch dancers, singers, and guitarists perform in an intimate room with clear views from every section. Choose general, front, or premium seating, with a welcome drink available on selected tickets.

“The flamenco performance was an incredible and truly authentic experience. The artists were exceptionally talented and performed with great passion. Although I booked front-row seating, the layout was thoughtfully designed so that every seat offered a clear view — even those at the back were elevated and unobstructed. The only minor drawback was that a few audience members kept filming with their phones raised and talking during the show, which was slightly distracting. That said, it’s still an experience I would highly recommend.”

“They should know that this was a terrible experience. I was totally misled and was not able to take the tour. Viator would not refund my money and this was awful. I was 2 hours away and I took an Uber there. I paid $50 for the Uber. I called the tour guide and said I would be approximately five minutes late and the tour guide said they would wait for me.. They said they would but when I got there, they did not wait. I was on the phone with several people and one person and the other person did not keep their word. In addition, I was not…”

When we arrived to Toledo, we have visited the more iconic places and Elena explained everything very professional and talented. After Toledo’s trip, we moved to Segovia when we have had the opportunity to enjoy a lunch there and after this, we started waking through all iconic places. In general, I had an amazing day trip to Segovia, a charming city full of history and stunning architecture. Walking through the narrow, cobbled streets of the old town felt like traveling back…”
