Madrid

There’s something familiar about Spain that draws visitors, who maybe remember a few phrases of high school Spanish or harbor a vague curiosity of bullfighting or siestas. But it’s the staggering diversity—of cultures, languages, cuisines, and landscapes—that keeps travelers coming back again and again. Every barrio and pueblo offers something unique, and the Spain you thought you knew is suddenly full of surprises.

Spain’s capital city boasts icons of every kind; the likes of renowned artists, glitzy royal palaces and belle époque neighborhoods, a buzzing nightlife that comes to a close only when chocolate con churros is served for breakfast. Madrid calls for history buffs, art enthusiasts, brave foodies, underground music groupies and many more travelers seeking an exciting city experience.

Day 1: Bienvenidos a Madrid!

The appeal of Spain’s capital city is how laidback it is. Visitors don’t come for the big-name attractions, but for the local lifestyle. Wander labyrinthine streets through colorful neighborhoods, stumbling in and out of tapas bars along the way. Meals are served late and last for hours since the locals would never rush good food, wine, and company. Of course, there are some sights you can’t miss, including a glitzy royal palace and cherished art museums.
