10 Sights & Landmarks in Centro That You Shouldn't Miss
So many of Madrid’s buildings look like castles, you’ll think you’ve stumbled into a fairytale. Even City Hall is astounding, with its white pinnacles and neo-Gothic features. A self-guided architecture tour can begin by the great bear statue in the central Puerta del Sol. Wander by the fanciful Royal Palace before absorbing the natural beauty of Retiro Park, then visit one of the city’s many museums. You could happily cap off each day by nibbling on forkfuls of paella while sipping Spanish rioja.

Luxurious, over-the-top rococo palace with over 2,000 opulently gilded rooms.

The excellent audio guide was sufficient for exploring the palace without a guided tour The Palace was really impressive, the view from the Scenic viewpoint was breathtaking and the works of art inside were very antique and impressive; do make sure you include a visit to the armoury. Overall, the sheer splendour of the palace was breathtaking, every one of the rooms exquisite, and particularly the magnificent Throne Room. Well worth a visit

This central barrio of Madrid bordered by the streets of gran via, fuencarral and plaza de España and plaza de Bilbao has to be Madrids hippest and greatest nightlife centre. Street after street and plaza after plaza of bars ,restaurants and thousands of locals out and about having fun. Other areas like Huertas (very touristy), Chueca (mixed and gay ), La latina (tapas bars central), lavapies (Madrids multicultural bars and restaurant hub) and the street that never sleeps la Gran via are fantastic. But if you want nightlife that outlasts any other place on earth you have to exoerience Malasaña. More so when the good weather arrives . Thats when youll see people like snts on the streets. In the cold weather its obviously alot quieter and people are more indoors.
