Madrid, Spain
Things to do in Madrid
Everything in the Atlas for Madrid: places to see and things to do, in one list.
Museo del Prado
Velázquez, Goya and Bosch in a building designed as a natural history cabinet.
Reina Sofía
Guernica, in a former hospital, with the room it needs around it.
Parque del Retiro
125 hectares of former royal garden with a glass palace in the middle and rowing boats on the lake.
El Rastro
Sunday morning flea market down a hillside, unchanged in character for four centuries.
La hora del vermut
Sunday, around one, house vermouth on tap with an olive and a siphon of soda — the most Madrid ninety minutes there is.
This page exists because Madrid has at least 3 of them in the Atlas. Destinations with fewer do not have a page for this, on purpose — a facet with one or two entries is a heading with a list under it that you could have read in full on the page you came from. Back to Madrid.
