The 10 Best Points of Interest & Landmarks in Austrias, Community of Madrid
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.

This is a beautiful cathedral. The construction start in the late 19th century, but was inaugurated by the Pope John Paul II in 1993. Although it is a modern building, it is really nice in the inside with beautiful altars and in the crypt the patroness of Madrid, Our Lady of the Almudena.

If you can find it, this is a really unique experience while in Madrid. Find the buzzer outside, and let the cloistered nuns know you're there. If they're selling cookies, they'll buzz you in. Follow the signs through a courtyard and you'll end up at a lazy susan with a list of cookies for sale and the prices. You never see anyone because they're cloistered, but through the turntable you tell them what you want and put down your money. It spins, you wait a minute, it spins again and out comes your cookies. The cookies are simple but tasty. The experience is fantastic.

One of my favourite parts of the city of Madrid, we were there during the day and also at night to eat. A beautiful square with tourist information, plenty of places to eat and drink although we recommend Gusto’s, a great ice cream shop on the same side as the tourist information, just beware of the Spanish flamenco dresses lined up and also any character such as Mickey Mouse offering to let you take a photo with them as they want money off you for this, and some can be a bit damanding. But other than this it’s great, the architecture is stunning plenty of people around and souvenir shops just out of this square. It’s a short walk from puerto del sol another favourite place. Well worth a trip here, we did it every night
