Places to visit in Madrid's surrounding areas with the kids (cool ideas)
The scale of Madrid means that there are thousands of things to do in the city. But if it feels overwhelming, or you would rather explore the areas surrounding the capital, we will introduce you to nearby places to visit with children.
If you prefer a more structured and personalised way to organise your time, private tours in Madrid can help you combine the city’s highlights with family-friendly excursions around the region, adapting the itinerary to your pace and interests.
Things to do in Madrid with children
1. Guided tour of Segovia on eBike
Our first offer is an incredible tour of the city of Segovia on an eBike. A tourist guide will accompany you and your children, offering information on the interesting city which is full of curiosities and attractive to both children and adults. One of the visit's main attractions will be Segovia's Roman aqueduct, one of the city's main lures.
During the tour, you will also visit the castle, which served as inspiration for Walt Disney to create Sleeping Beauty's castle. Your kids will love it! Other stops along the way include the cathedral, which was Spain's first, and the Alcázar fortress. You don't have to worry about the journey, it's smooth and suitable for all ages, including children.
The tour lasts for 8 hours and is available in Spanish and English. There are other activities on offer in the city, such as horse riding. If you're brave enough, don't miss out on the hot-air balloon ride or the 4x4 safari.
