MADRILENEAN AND ROMAN

After arriving at Madrid-Barajas Airport, we will be greeted and transferred to our hotel.

We will have the rest of the day to relax and begin enjoying the capital of Spain.

Madrid, lively and awake at all hours, is famous for being an open city where people of all kinds and from anywhere come together.

In addition to its well-known museums, lively avenues with all kinds of shops, world cuisine restaurants, and incomparable nightlife, Madrid surprises with quiet historic corners full of charm for strolls.

There, we will find centuries-old taverns with family traditions where friends gather for a drink, neighborhoods of all styles, and alternative cultural centers away from the more touristy circuits.

At the same time, this city has an authenticity that is hard to match. It is hospitable, diverse, and undoubtedly one of the most interesting in Europe.

Greca Tip: As in any other large city, the center of Madrid offers a diverse variety of gastronomic venues to suit all tastes, where you can taste the traditional local tapas.

After breakfast, you will meet the guide at the meeting point to go to Segovia, a small city that will surprise you from the moment you get off the bus.

The tour starts at the Aqueduct of Segovia, one of the oldest monuments in Spain. With more than 16 kilometers long, it was built over 2000 years ago. During the visit, you will discover how it was built, in which no cement was used, as well as the route that the water took to reach Segovia.

After this, you will visit Segovia Plaza Mayor. There, you will discover some of the city's monuments, such as Casa de los Picos, whose facade has 617 granite peaks, or Plaza Medina del Campo. There, you will find the Catholic church called “Iglesia de San Martín”, built in 1117, and the “Torreón de Lozoya”, where you can go up in your free time and from where you will have a breathtaking view of Segovia.

Once you arrive in Plaza Mayor, you will find different monuments that will impress you, such as the Town Hall, the Juan Bravo Theatre, and the Cathedral of Segovia, where you will have a complete guided tour of its interior.

At the end of the visit to the cathedral, you will have some free time to enjoy Segovia at your leisure.

At the appointed time, you will meet again at the Plaza Mayor. It will be time to head towards the Alcázar of Segovia, also known as “Segovia Castle”, one of the most famous and well-preserved medieval castles in the world.

Once you finish your visit to Segovia Castle, the bus will be waiting to drive you to Madrid.

Greca Tip: the Alcázar probably reminds you of some Disney castles, as its exterior architecture served as inspiration for some of Walt Disney's films, such as Cinderella's Castle or the Queen's Castle in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

You will enjoy your breakfast and, at the time indicated, a transfer will drive you to Madrid-Barajas airport to board your flight to Rome.

Upon your arrival in the Eternal City, one of our vehicles will be waiting for you to welcome and drive you to the hotel. On the way, you will appreciate why the Italian capital is considered the maximum expression of the historical richness of the Western world. The rest of the day will be free to relax. 

Greca Tip: Add nights in step 1 of 3 to enjoy more days in Rome.

After enjoying a delightful breakfast, you'll have the entire day to explore Rome at your own pace. With countless options at your fingertips, you can choose to wander around on foot, visit magnificent monuments, indulge in shopping, or savor the local cuisine, which offers a wide array of pasta, vegetable, meat, and fish dishes.

Rome holds a special place as the epicenter of the Catholic religion and boasts the highest concentration of historical and architectural treasures in the world. In 1980, Rome, along with the extraterritorial properties of the Holy See within the city and the Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls, was rightfully inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list.

Greca Tip: If you wish, you can opt to visit the Colosseum, either in the morning or the afternoon. Simply select your preference during Step 1 of the reservation process.

In the morning you will enjoy a delicious breakfast and then have the rest of the day free to appreciate and delight in the beauty of this wonderful city.

Don't miss out on the must-see landmarks such as the Colosseum and the Forum, as well as taking a stroll through the vibrant Roman squares adorned with captivating fountains.

In the evening, you can enjoy a dinner of your choice and unwind with a rejuvenating night's sleep at your hotel.

Greca Tip: For a memorable dining experience in Rome, we recommend exploring the Trastevere neighborhood and trying one of the charming trattorias. Indulge in a delectable Italian seafood dish paired with a glass of their house white wine.

After enjoying your breakfast, and at the time indicated, you will be transferred to Rome Airport to board your flight back home or to your next destination.

After spending a few fantastic days with Greca, we hope to see you again soon to create more wonderful moments that will remain in your memory forever!

Have a nice trip! Or, as the locals say: "Buon Viaggio!".
