El Parque del Buen Retiro in Madrid is so beautiful. I went here on my final day in Madrid and wish I had gone sooner, because it really was one of my favorite places.
The upkeep on the park is great; it is clean and well taken care of. It is really just a great place to take a stroll, talk wit…

I was lucky enough to attend a match at this stadium in March 2008 but didn't take in the tour. I did this tour during my visit to Madrid in Oct 2008.
It all starts with glass fronted elevator to the top of the stadium which gives you a panoramic view of the pitch and stadium. Next you make your …

This is a great museum for any one who likes modern art (mainly conceptual works, surrealism and cubism). As I've written in my travel blog I'm a great Picasso fan, so I loved la Guernica! It is such a marvelous work that you simply can't afford to miss it when you're in Madrid. But almost all the w…

One of the highlights in Madrid was this monastery. Maybe it isn't one of the 'top 10 spots' in the city but this place is definately worth a visit. The only way to visit it, is guided so you have to go there and make a reservation for the English or Spanish tour. The Monestery is full of frescos, r…

Another great place to visit in Madrid! The Palacio Real is a beautiful palace were the royals still work on official occasions. You can visit the old living parts of the palace and they are really worth it. I can recommend you to do this with an audio tour or a guided tour. Other wise you'll walk b…

This is a must-see in Madrid! A beautiful cathedral, build in neoclassicism architecture, to make it fit with the style of the palacio real that is next to it.
The plans for the building were made in the 16th century, yet the construction was started only in the late 19th century, and took more …

Plaza Santa Ana is a nice, small square in the old Center of Madrid, not far from the Puerta del Sol. There are many restaurants in this area, and even more excellent tapas bars. The atmosphere on the square is wonderful. I found it a much better place to hang around at than for example the Plaza Ma…

The building, dating from the 4th century before Christ, is brought to Madrid stone by stone, and it was a gift from the Egyptian government. When the A…

Wow, what a great theme park. An adult ticket costs 33€ and the discounted 'night rate' starts at 4pm but still is 25€. The park is huge and I would suggest that you plan a full day and not try to save any money on the later entry since they close at 10pm generally and 11p or 12a&nbs…

The zoo in Madrid is quite well preserved although it is definitely kind of depressing to see so many animals in such a small area. I guess that for kids it can be very interesting and fun! the best of all is the dolphins show. It is a really good show! You also have many snack bars and one self se…

Plaza España is one of the largest open squares in Madrid. It is surrounded by many wonderful buildings like the Torre de Madrid and the Edificio de España, both designed by Otamendi. The square exists since the early fifties and is a popular attraction ever since.
Most important here is the la…
