Europe's Most Passionate Capital
Madrid is Spain's energetic capital — a city that lives life at full volume and never sleeps before 2am. Home to three of the world's great art museums (the Golden Triangle of Art), the world's oldest restaurant, and Real Madrid's legendary Bernabéu Stadium.
The Prado's Velázquez and Goya, the Reina Sofía's Guernica and the Thyssen's Impressionists form one of the world's greatest art concentrations. Day trips to Toledo and Segovia bring medieval Spain within easy reach.
