The palace originally contained tropical plants from the Philippines, but is now used for exhibitions hosted by the popular art-museum Reina Sofia. Therefore you will happen to find abstract art under the beautiful dome, which is free to visit. Outside and around you can find buskers playing background music for this idyllic setting.

This is a good place to find peace between exploring the busy streets and Plaza de España nearby. This original temple was a gift from the Egyptian state in 1968, after Spain helped Egypt preserve and save other temples along the Nile. From here you have a beautiful view to the Royal Palace, and it's one of the best places to watch the sunset.

Just the building itself is well worth a visit. Don't forgot to check out the staircase and the café on the top floor. The exhibitions tend to be of a very high standard and encompass architecture, cinema, beauty arts, visual arts, etc.

Because remember us the glorious Spain period.
El Prado is between the three more important museums in the world; got 3000 pictures, just 300 are in exhibition and between then there is one can't be seen any other place, you got it: is Velázquez, and from him Las Meninas is a lesson of style!

This authentic open air market comes to live every Sunday in the most popular and picturesque area of the old town, which is a must-see in it's own right, but undoubtedly better on sunny, crowded Sundays! You will find all types of products, varying for old furniture (vintage-seekers will love) to clothes, food and unimaginable stuff!

It was part of the first Madrilenian subway line, opened in 1919. It had to be closed at the beginning of the 60's, because the Metro Company decide to add more wagons to their trains and it was impossible to enlarge this station. Has been closed until 2008, that has been re-opened as a museum.

If you're interested in street art this place is an absolute must-visit. Drop in to check out the gallery and the 'magnetic wall' where local artists sell their pieces. And browse through the inspiring bookshelves, before kicking back with a coffee or a snack in the cool café corner. Here is plenty of free wifi and underground atmosphere.

The Las Ventas Bullfighter Ring museums explain all about Bullfighter men (just once tried a woman...) and how Corridas and Las Ventas itself began...
Las Ventas meaning is Market, a Bulls one, and are the most demanding public and so only the most rewarded Bullfighter men, Toreros, go here.
