Madrid overview

Spain’s capital city Madrid may not offer the iconic landmarks of other European capital cities and visitors won’t find an equivalent to the Eiffel Tower or the Roman Coliseum here, but nevertheless it’s a great city to explore. By day, admire the architecture, educate your mind at the superb Museo del Prado, bargain for goodies at El Rastro, the biggest flea market in Europe or simply enjoy a caf? con leche at the Plaza Mayor and watch the world go by. For a true experience into Madrid life, watch Real Madrid play at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu and hope they win. Spanish football is not for the faint hearted so bring your best singing voice! At night, the city comes alive, Madrid has an excellent live music scene, many great restaurants and ever-popular tapas bars.
