Between the liveliness of European cities and the Spanish laid-back way of life, Madrid has found a way to thrive at its own tempo. It’s a city of art and culture with three internationally renowned museums. A city of exuberant and colorful fashion to be discovered in the boutiques of emerging designers, and a city of taste that conquers travelers and world wanderers with its sense of party and Iberian delights. Madrid's cultural scene is renowned for its "Golden Triangle of Art", which includes the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, the Centro de Arte Reina Sofía and the Prado Museum. They house works by Velázquez and Goya, contemporary Spanish artists such as Picasso and Dalí, Flemish and Italian masters and a mix of modern icons. The Spanish capital can also be discovered through its charming squares. With its elegant red brick buildings, slate roofs and picturesque arcades, the Plaza Mayor is the most famous of them. We also invite you to enjoy your weekend in Madrid by strolling around the Puerta del Sol, the impressive Plaza de Cibeles and the Plaza de Oriente. After visiting the majestic Palacio Real, one of the most architecturally important palaces in Europe, take a moment to visit the Retiro Park, the city's green beating heart. On your way out, don't miss heading into the Atocha train station to admire its tropical garden. The stalls of the Mercado de San Miguel invite you to treat your taste buds to artisanal hams, banderillas and local specialties such as cocido madrileño or a tasty tortilla. At nightfall, head to the neighbourhoods of Malasaña, Chueca, Lavapiés and Las Letras for a festive evening in welcoming taverns, where locals and visitors blend alike.
