Madrid is a city that never sleeps. Here everyone will find something for themselves: from masterpieces of world art to the most delicious paella.
Day 1: Art and History
Start your day with a visit to the Prado Museum, which houses works by Goya, Velázquez, El Greco and Bosch. This is one of the largest museums in the world with over 8,000 works of art. Then walk to the Royal Palace — the official residence of the Spanish monarchs, which has over 3,000 rooms.
In the evening, head to Plaza Mayor — the heart of old Madrid. Here you can have a cup of coffee and enjoy the atmosphere.
Day 2: Parks and Gastronomy
Dedicate your morning to Retiro Park — the green heart of Madrid. Here you can rent a boat and go boating on the lake, visit the Crystal Palace and just enjoy nature.
And in the evening, go to a flamenco show with dinner. This is the perfect end to the weekend: emotions, delicious food and real Spanish art.
Where to eat
Be sure to try tapas in the La Latina area, and for dessert — churros with hot chocolate at the famous Chocolatería San Ginés café, which is open 24 hours.
