Alcalá World Heritage Tour

Welcome to Alcalá de Henares!

With local, native, and certified guides, you’ll get the perfect introduction to a city with over 2,000 years of history. We’ll uncover the secrets of the world’s first university town, designed by Cardinal Cisneros; explore the coexistence of the “Three Cultures” in Alcalá; and, of course, visit the birthplace of Miguel de Cervantes, the genius behind *Don Quixote*.

We’ll start at Plaza de las Bernardas, a quiet spot that will let us explore the Historic District, starting small and working our way up. We’ll save the University for last… just like the climax of a good novel! All spiced up with fun facts, entertaining explanations, and a final game.
