Meet your guide by the Mary Magdalene Tower in Plaza de Cervantes and get ready for an essential, in-depth introduction to Alcalá de Henares – the city of Cervantes and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Over approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes, you'll follow a comprehensive route through the historic centre, combining engaging storytelling with meaningful historical and architectural context.

The tour includes access to notable interior spaces that help bring the city's past to life. Visit the Capilla del Oidor, where Miguel de Cervantes was baptized, and step into the renowned University of Alcalá de Henares, exploring its courtyards as well as the Paraninfo and the Chapel of San Ildefonso. You'll also enter the historic Corral de Comedias; if access is not possible due to a theatrical performance, you'll visit the Hospital de Antezana instead. The tour also includes the Cervantes Birthplace Museum (Museo Casa Natal de Cervantes) for an even closer connection to the writer’s legacy.

As you walk, discover the most iconic streets and squares: Cervantes Square, Calle Mayor, and Calle de la Imagen, as well as the former Plaza de Palacio and the city walls. Your guide will explain the history of the Archbishop’s Palace and the area around the Regional Archaeological Museum. The experience ends at Plaza de los Santos Niños, home to the impressive Magistral Cathedral of Saints Justus and Pastor, where the tour concludes.

This is the ideal tour for travellers seeking a high-quality cultural experience and a well-rounded understanding of Alcalá's history, architecture, and living traditions.
