The Spanish Soul of Art and Entertainment
The modern Madrid is one of the greenest cities in Europe and the most popular destination in Spain. Whether you want to experience its legendary nightlife or a flamenco show, this is the place to be.
The renowned Prado Museum holds one of the world’s finest art collections with iconic paintings by El Greco, Velázquez and Goya. For a more modern touch, the Museo Reina Sofia houses works by Picasso and Dali.
Start your evening at Puerta del Sol, one of the city’s busiest spots. Make some room in your stomach for great tapas and sangria in La Latina district, south of the city’s most famous plaza, Plaza Mayor.
Real Madrid plays at Santiago Bernabeu and Atlético Madrid competes at Vicente Calderón Stadium, two opportunities that no sports fan will want to miss. The popular Salamanca district is a great place to look for boutique gifts and unique shops.

Taxis are plentiful & friendly.
Taxis are plentiful & friendly. Better buy than Uber. Asador Real Restaurant was better than Casa Botin or Casa Poco. Fine food & service included 1/4 of Cochinillo Asado for 33 euro. Excellent! Loved tapas at Mercado San Miguel. Excellent guides for tours of El Prado, Reina Sophia, Royal Palace thru Amigo Tours booked thru Viator. Lively friendly city. Great cafes everywhere. Stopped many times for vermouth on rocks or cafe. Little plates of olives served free.

Incredible city with a rich culture and history background.
Incredible city with a rich culture and history background. If you are planning on going to Museo del Prado and looking at all the pieces of arts you should be ready to spend 4-5 hours there. San Lorenzo de el Escorial is worth a day trip.

I like the architecture on all buildings, museums, parks.
I like the architecture on all buildings, museums, parks.
People are a little discourteous.
Food was not good for my taste, tried different recommended restaurants and the one I like a little better was the ham museum. All restaurants used to much salt and some kind of spices that were not good for my taste. Sorry

I didn't stay long enough to be able to comment.
I didn't stay long enough to be able to comment. I did an evening Tapas tour & a full day tour to Toledo & Segovia.
I took a Panoramic tour but would have been better of using the Hop-On-Hop-Off tour bus as it was multilingual and poor vision from the coach. The tapas tour is a must as is Toledo & Segovia.

Madrid has something for everyone.
Madrid has something for everyone. There are great museums, parks, bars, restaurants, and lively nightlife. Each neighborhood is distinct and beautiful. Getting around the city is easy on foot, but the metro is quick and reliable.
“Very convenient to get from the station, we came by train to Atocha from Barcelona. Then excellent to leave from Atocha to the Madrid airport. Although it was at the edge of city center we could walk easily 10-20 min to all the places to eat and shop in city center. The place was clean and bright and very convenient.”
“Great value for money in a surpringly cool part of Madrid Centre (La Latina). I don't think I'll return to the hotels near Gran Via et al., this is the place to be, a bit away from the main tourist targets.”
“Located in the centre of old Madrid, right by the Descalzas convent (a must-see hidden jewel). Only a few steps away from the Plaza Mayor and the Gran Via.
The hotel is in a refurbished old Madrid building, still featuring a working classic elevator (in addition to a modern one), which brings back memories of many years ago.
Breakfast, buffet style, was excellent.
Staff very friendly, helpful and well trained to cater to all styles of visitors.”
“Located in the heart of Barrio Malasana and close to the Gran Via. This place is announced as a hostel, but you feel like in a 5 stars hotel here. Very nice place to sleep in Madrid.”
“It's clean! I mean SUPER CLEAN! Location is fantastic, walking from Sol-Gran Via. The room (individual) was like a 3 Star hotel. There is a nice place outside to Chill & relax.
The owner (old lady) is absolutely sweet, barely speaks English but is a completely excellent host!
10/10 every visit to Madrid I make, I know where I have to stay. ”
