Escape the bustle of Madrid on a private day trip to the historic hilltop town of Cuenca, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its dramatic landscapes and unique architecture. With your professional English-speaking driver, you’ll travel in comfort through central Spain and arrive in just under two hours at one of the country’s most photogenic towns.

This fully customizable experience allows you to explore Cuenca at your own pace. You can choose which stops to include, how much time to spend at each, and whether to enjoy lunch or dinner at a local spot recommended by your driver.

Wander through the cobbled streets of Cuenca’s Old Town and admire its most famous landmarks, including the Hanging Houses—15th-century cliffside homes that have become symbols of the city. Take in sweeping views from the San Pablo Bridge, built from wood and iron and offering the best vantage point of the gorge and the historic facades.

Art lovers may opt to visit the Museum of Spanish Abstract Art, housed in one of the preserved hanging houses. Inside, you’ll find a striking collection of mid-20th-century Spanish artists including Fernando Zóbel and Pablo Serrano. You can also stop by the Clock Tower or explore Cuenca Cathedral, one of Spain’s earliest examples of Gothic architecture.

Throughout your trip, your driver is available to provide background information and helpful local tips. You’ll also have time to explore the city center at your leisure, where traditional cafes and shops line the colorful streets.

Once your visit concludes, sit back and relax as your driver returns you to your hotel in Madrid, filled with lasting impressions of one of Spain’s hidden gems.
