The Atocha building is beautiful seen from the outside, but the real wonder hides inside. A minor rainforest, with full-size palmtrees stretching their leafs towards the roof covering the giant hall. A spectacular contrast to all the iron and the marketstalls underneath. You will also find a small pond crowded with hundreds of turtles.

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.

This is a must when you visit Madrid. Whether it's to soak up the sun, to take in the colours of the fall, to feel the melancholy of winter or the joy of spring. At the northern end of the park you can't miss the huge boating lake, where you can enjoy the monument to King Alfonso XII from the water. The Crystal Palace nearby is also worth visiting.
