Capital of Spain and at the heart of the Castilian Plain, Madrid is a cosmopolitan and artistic city, well suited to car rental holidays. The region has a rich history and is full of picturesque towns, and there are many architectural points of interest to discover on your car rental tour.
We recommend car rental as a means to reach the World Heritage City of Alcala de Henares. Just a short drive from Madrid, the city boasts a famous University built in 1499, plus the impressive Archbishop's Palace and serene Convent of Las Bernardas.
Another great car rental trip is out to the royal town of Aranjuez. Situated on a fertile plain by the River Tagus, the town's Royal Palace and gardens were a popular retreat for Spanish Royalty from the 15th century. The pretty town of Aranjuez itself was built later in the 18th century, and is a 47 km car rental journey from the Capital.
Madrid car rental is also useful for a drive over to the town of Manzanares el Real. This attractive town in the Sierra de Guadarrama mountain range is right at the foot of La Pedriza Mountain. Amongst items of interest in Manzanares el Real are its 15th century castle and the picturesque La Pedriza Park.
Your car rental tour of the Madrid Region should also include a visit to the ancient town of Avila, surrounded by medieval walls and with a 14th century cathedral. The town of Segovia is also well worth a car rental journey, with its Roman Aqueduct and stunning Alcazar Castle. To round off your holiday, we also recommend a car rental trip to the city of Toledo, centre of the Visigoth culture.
