The City of London is one of the most iconic and vibrant cities in the world. It has a rich and fascinating history dating back to the Roman era. It has witnessed significant historical events and is home to a wealth of landmarks and iconic places such as Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, and Westminster Abbey.

Greca Tip: In 1957, the River Thames was declared dead due to its high levels of contamination. It was thanks to new infrastructure and controls that it was recovered, and today we can find some marine fauna in it.

After a delightful breakfast, you'll have the day free to explore this incredible city.

For a century and a half, London was the capital of an empire that spanned 40% of the inhabited world, leaving behind a cultural and institutional legacy that serves as a model for modern democracy.

It is an incredibly diverse city, home to people from various cultures and nationalities. This diversity is evident in its food, music, festivals, and daily life. Despite being a bustling metropolis, London boasts beautiful parks such as Hyde Park, Regent's Park, and Greenwich Park, providing a peaceful escape from urban life.

It is a multicultural city with a wide range of ethnic communities and a vibrant cultural scene. From theaters in the West End to a diverse gastronomic offering and an influential music scene, London is known for its cultural diversity.

Moreover, the city is marked by its impressive architecture, blending historic buildings with modern iconic structures such as the London Eye, the Shard, and the Gherkin.

Each area of London has its own personality and charm, making exploration an exciting and diverse experience.

It's a city that has something for everyone, and as Dr. Samuel Johnson said in the 1700s: "He who is tired of London is tired of life." This is perhaps even more valid today than it was back then.

Greca Tip: Don't miss the opportunity to attend a play, especially a musical.

After a full breakfast and at the indicated time, you will be transferred to Heathrow-London Airport to board the flight to Madrid.

Upon arrival at Madrid-Barajas airport, you will be met and taken to the hotel.

You will have the rest of the day to relax and start enjoying the capital of the Kingdom of Spain.

Madrid, lively and awake at all hours, is famous for being an open city where people from all walks of life and from anywhere in the world come together.

In addition to its renowned museums, its vibrant avenues with all kinds of shops, its restaurants offering cuisines from around the world, and its incomparable nightlife, Madrid surprises with tranquil historical corners full of charm for leisurely strolls, centuries-old family-run taverns where friends gather for a drink, neighborhoods of all styles, and alternative cultural centers away from the more touristy circuits.

Moreover, this city has an authenticity that is hard to match. It is hospitable, diverse, and undoubtedly one of the most fascinating cities in Europe.

Greca Tip: As a large city, the center of Madrid offers a wide variety of gastronomic establishments to suit all tastes, from various tapas to "boquerones en vinagre" (anchovies in vinegar).

After breakfast, you will have the day free to enjoy Madrid at your own pace. Having a free day in Madrid allows you to explore and enjoy many of the attractions and activities the capital of Spain has to offer.

Madrid hosts world-renowned art museums such as the Prado Museum, the Reina Sofía Museum, and the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum. These institutions showcase an extensive collection of masterpieces, including works by Goya, Velázquez, Picasso, Dalí, and many others.

Moreover, the city exhibits an intriguing blend of historic and modern landmarks. The Royal Palace of Madrid, Plaza Mayor, Puerta del Sol, and Retiro Park are just a few examples of emblematic sites that highlight Madrid's historical significance.

The culinary scene in this beautiful city is diverse and lively, offering a plethora of traditional Spanish cuisine, including tapas, cocido madrileño (a hearty stew), and bocadillos de calamares (fried squid sandwiches). The city is filled with traditional taverns, markets like Mercado de San Miguel, and contemporary restaurants.

The city's energy is palpable, especially in neighborhoods like Malasaña, Chueca, and La Latina, known for their eclectic mix of modern bars, restaurants, and cultural centers.

Greca Tip: If you prefer not to go on excursions and want to explore Madrid at your own pace, you can walk along Gran Vía, one of the city's most famous avenues, where you can find shops, restaurants, and establishments for all tastes.

After the breakfast and at the designated time, you will be transferred to Madrid-Barajas Airport to board your flight to Lisbon.

Upon our arrival at the airport, transportation will be waiting to take you to the hotel.

You will have the rest of the day to relax and start enjoying the capital of Portugal.

Located between seven hills, this city can be explored on foot and offers a charming alternative to Europe's more popular capitals. With a lively nightlife, festive markets, and vibrant museums, Lisbon provides many options for all tastes, from a generous serving of bacalhau and days filled with pastéis de nata to relaxation on the beaches of Cascais.

Greca Tip: The so-called Portuguese pavement (ranging from simple geometric patterns to sophisticated designs) is one of the city's most unique and distinguishing features. The creators of these true marvels are the calceteiro, stone wizards who have practiced their craft for over two centuries

After a tasty breakfast, you will have a free day to enjoy the city at your own pace.

You can choose among the thousands of plans and attractions that Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, has to offer us. From visiting museums, strolling through its old town or enjoying its gastronomy, in this city, it is impossible to get bored.

A city where you feel safe wandering around day or night, where the cuisine is dedicated to creating over a thousand ways to cook the beloved bacalhau (salted cod).

Lisbon is a city full of authenticity where old customs and ancient history intermix with cultural entertainment and hi-tech innovation. 

We recommend a walk through the Alfama neighborhood. This area still retains its neighborhood essence with low houses and narrow streets. It is the oldest and most photogenic part of the city, due to its graffiti and pastel-colored facades. Thanks to its labyrinthine structure, inherited from the Arabs, getting lost in this area is enchantingly easy.

Greca Tip: A visit to the National Tile Museum will allow us to learn about the history of this art, which can be seen in all the streets and buildings of the city.

You will enjoy a tasty breakfast, and then you will have the day off to continue discovering the city.

Lisbon enjoys an incredible historical and cultural atmosphere. Its fame, in part, comes from the houses decorated in pastel tones and from the network of winding and steep cobbled streets. But the Portuguese capital is also a modern, vibrant, and compact city. Regardless of the reason for your visit, whether you're looking for a city break or want to go to the beach, you'll find something that suits your needs.

Besides, Lisbon also has a wide variety of nightlife options, from quiet and friendly dinners in restaurants with street terraces to other more lively ways to spend the night.

In case you want to know a little more, you can choose to take the train and go to the coastal city of Cascais, located 40 minutes from Lisbon.

This traditional fishing town is located on the coastline and historically, it was chosen by the Portuguese nobility to spend their vacations, so walking through its center we will find luxurious mansions, an imposing fortress, and fascinating museums.

Greca Tip: If you wish, you can optionally book a ticket to a Fado show, known as Portuguese popular and historical music.

After breakfast, at the scheduled time, you will have the transfer to the airport to board the international flight.

After spending some fantastic days with Greca, we hope to see you again to enjoy more wonderful moments that will remain forever in your memory.

Have a great trip! Or, as you would say, "Boa Viagem!"

Greca Tip: If you feel that your stay in this city was too short, you can add additional nights in step 1.
