Madrid Christmas Lights Tour

See the festive side of Madrid during a private tour of the city’s Christmas lights while riding in an electric tuk-tuk. Pass the Paseo del Prado museums, Neptune Fountain and other illuminated landmarks.

Discover the twinkling lights that brilliantly decorate the exteriors of some of Madrid’s most famous sites and monuments, such as the National Library of Spain and the Cibeles Fountain.

Stroll through the elegant neighborhoods of Salamanca and Retiro, whose streets are lined with designer boutiques, refined restaurants and luxury hotels. Marvel at the facades of the Church of Saint Jerome Royal, Museo del Prado and Palacio de las Cortes.

Enjoy incredible views of the Puerta de Alcalá in Plaza de la Independencia and the Fountain of Neptune in Plaza de Cánovas, both highlighting the neoclassical style.

Naviluz in Madrid

It’s not exactly a Christmas market, but it’s probably one of the best-known and most popular Christmas attractions in Madrid.

Every year, a tourist bus (the kind you sit on in the open area at the top) tours the city’s most famous squares, streets and avenues, all of them decorated with Christmas lights. The most interesting thing is that they are organized in different colors and shapes.
