Marvel at a host of painting at Museo Del Prado

Even if you aren't an art lover you will still find this museum interesting and simply stunning. This is one of the world's premier art galleries and you'll find yourself lucky when you get thrilled with the spectacular collection of European art. This museum houses more than 8,000 paintings of major artists. It will be an overwhelming experience to marvel at the collection here so take as much time to spend at the Museo del Prado.
An excellent place to admire nature -Parque Del Buen Retiro

You'll love Madrid, even more, when you visit the Parque del Buen Retiro. It's a true delight to witness the marble monuments, elegant buildings and landscaped lawns. Walk through the garden admiring its beauty, take a boat ride in the artificial lake, relax or read a book in the shade or simply head for a cool drink at the many outdoor open-air-cafes.
Feel the liveliness of Madrid right here in Plaza Mayor

Feel the vibrancy of Madrid at this grand central square, one of the lovely open spaces in Spain. There are so many attractions to admire here such as the brilliant architecture, the liveliness of the city, and every nook and corner of this square will narrate a tale of Madrid. If you're here in December, you could get to visit the Christmas market.
Witness royalty at Palacio Real

Step in royalty at Western Europe's largest royal palace. While you stroll through the 50 rooms of the palace, you will witness a good collection of Goyas, five Stradivarius violins, and 215 ornate clocks. As you take the main stairway you will be led to the halberdiers' rooms and to the throne room that has crimson-velvet wall coverings. Walk Westwards across the plaza and visit the Armería Real which houses a shiny collection of weapons and armour.
For every shopaholic, this is the place to be - El Rastro

If you happen to be in Madrid on a Sunday then don't miss out on visiting the El Rastro. This open-air flea market is held every Sunday and on public holidays between Calle Embajadores and the Ronda de Toledo. Shop from the numerous market stalls on the main street and you will find an amazing variety of products new as well as used here. Try taking a look at the antique shops here and stroll through the market and feel the buzz of the city.
