City Guide Madrid, Spain

Visiting Madrid

Located right in the centre of Spain, Madrid is a city that will suit those who like to rise early and see as much as they can in a day as well as those more accustomed to the night owl lifestyle. Art lovers won’t know where to go with three of Europe’s best art galleries located within five minutes walk of each other, while the Spanish capital also has one of the world’s most ornate palaces. After dark, once businesses close and the working Madrileños begin their trek home, another breed of Madrileños begin their trek into the city to keep Madrid’s numerous tapas restaurants, bars and clubs full until the early hours of the morning.

    Madrid

    Great city, Reina Sofia was good if you're into Dali and Picasso. Found it a bit tough to find a good eat but that's just the luck of the draw.

    Insider Tip:If you have the time, chill out in the parks with a bottle of wine and/or a good book. The one (with the artificial lake) near the main station is really nice.

    Nice vibe!

    It is not the greatest city i have ever visited with the most impressive sights, but it has a really gret vibe: it is always full of people and everything is really cheap there.

    Insider Tip:Siesta in Parque Retiro after a clubbing night!

    My experience in Madrid

    Well, this is mostly a cultural city. It has quite a lot of museums, architectural jewels, historical places, typical food, good wine, and good party places. Besides, compared to other European capitals, this is a quite cheaper city, but don't get me wrong, is still a veeery nice place to spend your vacations. I was there for only 5 days, and visited Toledo, a WONDERFUL middle-age city with tons of really typical alleys, swords, and a lovely atmosphere. PS: It is reaaaaaally hot :)

    Madrid is a great city, it is very beautiful and a lot to see or do there. It is need to stay at least 3 nights there. Also a few day trips you could do while there, like Toledo.

    Insider Tip:Try the night life.
