Madrid Must-Sees

Madrid’s landscape is defined by the Golden Triangle of Art, comprising the Prado, Reina Sofía, and Thyssen-Bornemisza museums. The city’s imperial history is anchored by the Palacio Real and the medieval Plaza de la Villa, while the 19th-century Retiro Park houses the glass-and-iron Crystal Palace. Iconic landmarks like the Metropolis Building and Gran Vía showcase Beaux-Arts and modern architecture. Local traditions thrive at the centuries-old Sobrino de Botín restaurant, the historic Chocolatería San Ginés, and the sprawling El Rastro flea market.
