Sample Itinerary
Example AccommodationPrado Museum
Spain’s most prestigious art gallery grew out of the Spanish royal family’s art collection and encompasses some of the best of European art from the Middle Ages to the beginning of the eighteenth century. During the Spanish Civil War more than three hundred priceless paintings from the museum’s collection were moved to Geneva for safe keeping, only to make a dangerous return journey across France ...
Reina Sofía Art Museum
The Reina Sofía houses some of the finest pieces of Spanish art of the twentieth century, including works by Salvador Dalí and Luis Buñuel and Picasso’s shockingly brutal and angry Guernica. It also plays host to exhibitions showcasing the best contemporary Spanish and European artists.
Closed on Sunday afternoons and Tuesdays.
Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum
One of the largest and most comprehensive private art collections in the world, the Thyssen’s galleries span European painting from Holbein and van Eyck through to Monet and Picasso. The Carmen Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection continues in a similar vein.Closed on Mondays.
Palacio Real
Madrid’s royal palace is the official residence of King Juan Carlos, although he does not actually live here. The palace was built entirely of stone without any wood after Madrid’s previous royal palace was burnt to the ground in 1734.Closed on Saturday and Sunday afternoons.
Plaza Mayor
Madrid's pleasingly symmetrical central plaza is one of the earliest parts of the city to be planned as part of the Habsburg’s new capital city. It's also a great place to begin exploring the historic heart of Madrid on foot.
Parque del Retiro
Madrid's most famous central park is always popular with Madrileños, particularly on summer afternoons when its shady groves and cool fountains are a wonderful retreat from the heat of the city.
El Escorial
This vast, austere building in the hills north of Madrid is a royal palace that feels more like a monastery. Conceived and built by King Philip II at the end of the end of the sixteenth century, it is a monument to an age when Spain was the world’s superpower, and Philip, driven by the Catholic religion and buoyed by the wealth of the Americas, was the world’s most powerful man.Closed on Mondays.
