Welcome to Madrid

No city on earth is more alive than Madrid, a beguiling place whose sheer energy carries a simple message: this is one city that knows how to live. Madrid's calling cards are many: astonishing art galleries, stunning architecture, relentless nightlife, fine restaurants and tapas bars. Other cities have some of these things. Madrid has them all in bucketloads.

Museo del Prado

Spains premier art gallery is also one of Europes finest, an extraordinary collection that ranges from Goya and Velzquez to Rembrandt, Rubens and Bosch. If you visit one Madrid art gallery, make it the Museo del Prado.

Centro de Arte Reina Sofa

Where the Prado gathers together the old masters, the Reina Sofa is all about contemporary art, with Picasso, Dal and Mir leading the way. Picassos Guernica alone is worth the admission price 10 times over.

Ermita de San Antonio de la Florida

Tucked away from Madrids tourist heartland, this tiny hermitage contains a magnificent secret: vivid frescoes adorning the domes just as Goya painted them more than two centuries ago.

San Lorenzo de El Escorial

Away in the cool mountain foothills northwest of Madrid, this palace-monastery complex is a monument to the aspirations to greatness of many a Spanish king. Its also one of Madrids most rewarding day trips.
