What to expect
You'll start with an official guide and VR headset, then walk Madrid's streets stopping at key locations. At each point, you don the headset to see how that spot looked in previous eras—palaces before renovation, plazas before their modern reshape. The guide provides context between viewpoints so you understand not just what changed but why. It's a hybrid experience: real ground beneath your feet, historical layers visible through the screen. No sitting around; you're moving between sites the whole time.
Good to know
Wear comfortable shoes for walking. VR headsets suit most ages, though the guide can advise on children's suitability. The route is flat and accessible. Public transport is nearby if you need it before or after.
