About this tour, from the operator

Experience Retiro Park exactly the way you want to. A self‑guided tour gives you complete freedom: you choose the starting time, the pace, and how long to enjoy each spot. Stop for photos, relax by the lake, explore hidden corners or simply ride without a fixed schedule. With your map in hand, you create your own route and discover the park as a local would, without rushing, without a guide setting the rhythm, and with the flexibility to shape the experience to your interests. It’s the most personal and independent way to enjoy one of Madrid’s most iconic green spaces.
