Madrid might not have the status of Rome or Paris in terms of sights, but the Spanish capital is a pleasure to explore. From historical gems and world-class art, to an incredible food scene and picturesque parks. I will show youlandmarks include the Royal Palace of Madrid, the Royal Theatre with its restored 1850 Opera House, the Buen Retiro Park (founded in 1631), the 19th-century National Library building (founded in 1712) and the Golden Triangle of Art located along the Paseo del Prado and comprising three art museums: Prado Museum, the Reina Sofía Museum, and the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum. Cibeles Palace and Fountain have become the monument symbol of the city.

While the capital’s man-made attractions are impressive, Madrid is also a fantastic city for outdoor escapes: hiking trails, scenic views, peaceful parks, and adventure opportunities abound in the city and its surrounding areas.
