1. A private tuk-tuk ride through the city

Start the day seeing the Royal Palace, Gran Vía and the historic centre from an open electric tuk-tuk, just for your group. Private tuk-tuk tours.

2. A picnic in Parque del Oeste

4. Rowing on the Retiro lake

Rent a rowing boat on the Retiro's large pond and toast with a view of the monument to Alfonso XII.

5. Sunset at the Templo de Debod

An authentic Egyptian temple in the middle of Madrid and one of the city's best spots to watch the sun go down.

6. Drinks on a rooftop

Madrid has many rooftop terraces with views over the skyline, such as the one at Círculo de Bellas Artes. Book ahead on weekends.

7. A flamenco show with dinner

Flamenco is one of the most memorable ways to end a birthday in Spain. Flamenco, dinner & tuk-tuk.
