WHAT TO DO
- Madrid boasts the culinary art from all corners of the country as well as its own regional cuisine. One of the attractions of Madrid is its many bars and taverns, where you can relax after a busy day, drinking wine or beer with some “tapas.”
- The Paseo del Arte is a unique, world renowned tour, which features painting and sculpture, architecture and nature in one of the most emblematic areas of Madrid: Paseo del Prado, which you can witness by foot with three of the most important museums: the Museo del Prado, the Thyssen Bornemisza and the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía. This combination of museums allows one to view fine art such as Las Meninas by Velázquez, Las Majas by Goya, Giovanna Tornabuoni by Ghirlandaio, or Les Vessenots en auvers by Van Gogh and Picasso's Guernica, and much more.
- Boasting emblematic buildings full of history such as the Puerta de Alcalá, Cibeles Fountain, the monastery of El Escorial or the Palace of Aranjuez to enigmatic remains of Egyptian history in the heart of the capital, Madrid offers a large number of monuments to visit.
- Farms, mountain biking, horseback riding, multi-adventure activities, canoeing and hiking are just a small sample of the great range of possibilities that the Community of Madrid offers visitors who prefer entertainment closer to nature and in a stunning setting.
- The whole family may enjoy the many entertainment options during the day in the Community of Madrid. Children and adults together can be transported to another era aboard the Tren de la Fresa (Aranjuez-Madrid) and the de Cervantes (Madrid-Alcalá de Henares). And one may also can enjoy the Aquarium Zoo, the Warner Park, Faunia, the cable car, Xanadu Snow Park, Amusement Park, the Planetarium, or Aquopolis among others.
- One must not forget to visit the monument of the Royal Residences. These architectural complexes were built for later use as a place of rest, recreation and residence of different members of the Spanish Royal Family. A list of buildings includes monasteries that are under protection of the Royal Family.
