Sample Itinerary
Example AccommodationPrado Museum

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 jour...
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.
Bernabeu Stadium
When it was built in 1954, the Bernabeu stadium was the largest and most modern football stadium in the world and one of Madrid’s most significant buildings, for Real fans at least. A visit takes in the highlights of the stadium as well as the Real Madrid museum, where the club’s haul of Spanish and European trophies are kept.
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.
Las Ventas Tour
The Plaza Monumental de las Ventas (Bullring of Madrid) offers a unique opportunity to tour the famous bullring and see behind the scenes. Visits are available in the mornings and last approximately 40 minutes.

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 ...
