What could be more fun than a train ride? Especially one that travels up a beautiful peninsula to take you to a stunning palace. Book our Santander Magdalena train experience and discover the beauty of this spectacular area of the city.
The City Sightseeing Santander train starts at the entrance to the peninsula of La Magdalena. From there, it travels along the peninsula, through pleasant scenery. The included Spanish audio guide describes the places it passes and the history of the Palacio de la Magdalena, which is the train's destination at the top of the hill.
The Palace was built in the early 19th century for the Spanish royal family and financed by popular subscription. Its location on the stunning Magdalena peninsula could not be better. The views over the beaches of El Sardinero, the island of Mouro and the Bay of Biscay are simply breathtaking. During the high season, there is a short guided tour of the exterior of the palace and its surroundings, where you can learn about its fascinating history.
As the train returns every 15-20 minutes, you can leisurely enjoy the charms of the palace and the peninsula before returning to the first stop. On the way down, the train passes three spectacular galleons at the Man And Sea Museum and the mini-zoo.
