Madrid cultural and historical tourism initiatives

Overview

Madrid has introduced several initiatives to bolster cultural and historical tourism in the region. Initial efforts included the release of new digital and paper tourist maps by the Association of Hotels of Madrid (AEHM) and Walk Around, distributed through over 330 hotels to provide gastronomic and cultural guidance.

Building on these efforts, the region is relaunching historical train routes for the autumn season to connect travelers with UNESCO World Heritage sites. These include the ‘Tren de Felipe II’, which offers historical animation and tours of the Royal Monastery in San Lorenzo de El Escorial starting September 19, and the ‘Tren de Cervantes’, which connects Madrid to Alcalá de Henares.
