What to do and see in Ciudad Universitaria, Community of Madrid: The Best Museums

September 26, 2021 Leonardo Torrence

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.

Museo de America

Reviewed By rukshanaa2016 - York, United Kingdom

In a beautiful modern building with visual references to the past the history of the Americas is recounted with globes , maps , videos as well as a wonderful treasure house of artefacts . Spanish America is emphasized but eg the Inuits & other Far Northern peoples are represented . The beauty and workmanship of the ceramics and textiles particularly impressed me . Currently they have no cafeteria however - unfortunate but there are many choices nearby in Moncloa .
