With a local guide, you'll explore Alcalá de Henares, a city shaped by more than 2,000 years of history. The walk introduces you to the world's first planned University City, conceived by Cardinal Cisneros, the legacy of the so‑called City of Three Cultures and the birthplace of Miguel de Cervantes.
The tour begins at Plaza de las Bernardas, a quieter part of the historic centre. From here, you'll make your way through the old town, uncovering stories, lesser‑known details and curious facts along the route. The experience is designed to be engaging and relaxed, with a short game at the end to round off the visit.
Along the way, you'll see key landmarks such as the Archbishop's Palace, Casa de la Entrevista, the Magisterial Cathedral, Calle Mayor, Cervantes' Birthplace Museum, the Antezana Hospital, Cervantes Square, the Corral de Comedias, the Oidor Chapel and the University of Alcalá, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Interior visits depend on the monuments' opening hours. Entry to Cervantes' Birthplace Museum is included on the 10:00 tour. Visits to the Oidor Chapel are included on the 12:00 and 17:00 tours. On the 19:00 tour, due to closing times, the itinerary is covered entirely from the exterior.
