MADRID THE WORLD OF ARTS
Three museums, located a few meters away from each other, have formed the well-known Paseo del Arte, one of the largest art galleries in Europe. They are the National Prado Museum, the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum and the Reina Sofía National Art Center Museum. Undoubtedly, it is one of the biggest attractions of Madrid, and your visit is essential for art lovers.
MADRID OF THE AUSTRIAS
The Plaza Mayor, commissioned in 1617 by the architect Juan Gómez de Mora, is the starting point to get to know the historic center of the city, where you can also find the Plaza de la Villa, or the Monastery of the Descalzas Reales, among others. Also in this authentic Madrid neighborhood, it is essential to visit the Royal Palace, a royal residence built by the Bourbons on the old Alcázar, the Almudena Cathedral and the Royal Theater, forming one of the most spectacular monuments in Europe.
THE RETIRO
The Buen Retiro Gardens make up the largest and most extensive park in Madrid with 125 hectares and more than 15,000 trees. An essential place to walk and rest, enjoying its gardens, fountains and architectural ensembles, among which are the Palacio de Cristal, the Palacio de Velázquez or the emblematic Estanque Grande.
PUERTA DE ALCALÁ
“There it is, there is watching time go by … the Puerta de Alcalá!” Says a song by the singer from Madrid Ana Belén. Specifically from 1759, when it was built by orders of Carlos III. An icon of the city, near the famous Plaza de Cibeles, where Real Madrid celebrates its titles.
GRAN VÍA

NEIGHBORHOOD OF THE LETTERS
In the heart of the city, between the Puerta del Sol and the Paseo del Artes, you will find one of the most charming places in Madrid. Converted during the Spanish Golden Age, seventeenth century, in the neighborhood of the great writers of the time such as Quevedo, Lope de Vega, Cervantes, Góngora or Tirso de Molina, is still a vibrant space of activity, life for the Madrileños and for their visitors. Walking through its streets and see the Teatro Español, a former corral of comedies, is traveling to the most authentic cultural Madrid.
PUERTA DEL SOL
