What to see in Madrid
Once in the city center, Madrid has a lot to offer. If it’s your first time, there are certain places you simply can’t miss:
- Puerta del Sol: the epicenter of the city and the starting point of many routes.
- Plaza Mayor: traditional, elegant, and full of life.
- Prado Museum: together with Reina Sofía and Thyssen in the so-called Art Triangle.
- Royal Palace and Almudena Cathedral: a must-visit.
- Retiro Park: ideal for strolling, rowing on the lake, or visiting the Crystal Palace.
But Madrid is much more than its most famous monuments. If you’re looking for something different, authentic, or with fewer tourists, we recommend:
- Temple of Debod: one of the best places to watch the sunset.
- Sorolla Museum: a hidden gem in a former painter’s studio.
- Malasaña and Lavapiés: alternative neighborhoods with lots of character.
- Matadero Madrid: a former slaughterhouse transformed into a cultural center.
- Círculo de Bellas Artes: its rooftop offers one of the most amazing views of the city.
💡 Getting around by metro or train allows you to switch neighborhoods in minutes and experience the city at your own pace.
Flavors of Madrid
Madrid is also experienced at the table, and its traditional gastronomy is as rich as its history.
- Cocido madrileño is one of its great classics, ideal for regaining energy after a day of sightseeing.
- If you prefer intense flavors, callos a la madrileña are a very traditional option, found in many classic bars.
- The bocadillo de calamares is a must, especially around Plaza Mayor.
- And for a sweet finish, nothing beats churros con chocolate, whether at the famous Chocolatería San Ginés or in local cafés with their timeless flavor.
