Top 5 Art Museums in Paseo del Prado, 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.

A fantastic exhibition. We were unsure what to expect but found the whole display creative and full of insight. Total immersion in the art work and Van Gogh’s life. Would really recommend it. Take a seat if you can and let the exhibition move around you. Instructions in English would have helped us.
