Madrid has a rich cultural history. This is reflected in the many emblematic places that can be discovered during a seminar:

• Museums, for example, the Prado Museum, with works by Goya, Velázquez or El Greco. The Reina Sofía Museum is the main museum of modern and contemporary art in Madrid.

• The Royal Palace, a symbol of the Spanish parliamentary monarchy, traces the fascinating history of the royal family. This grandiose place can be visited in groups.

• Parks and squares, such as the Retiro Park or the Plaza Mayor, are omnipresent in Madrid. These green and lively spaces offer appreciable moments of relaxation between two meetings during the seminar.

The city tour can obviously be done as a guided bike tour, if you want to add a more attractive and fun side to your seminar.
