Royal Palace of Madrid
Armouries and pharmacies, rooms filled with fine porcelain, amazing collections of watches and silverware, and never-ending corridors graced by masterpieces.
San Miguel Market
Shop for fresh produce, attend a festival or relax with a drink and some tapas at Madrid’s popular marketplace.
Almudena Cathedral
Madrid's elegantly poised cathedral, paired opposite the Royal Palace in the west of the city, is a somewhat recent addition to this timeless city.
Royal Theatre
Its grandiose colonnade and refurbished 19th-century interior make up an exquisite setting, with excellent acoustics for operatic shows and music concerts.
City Hall
Providing much of the beauty for Madrid's iconic Plaza de Cibeles, but far from having an ancient spiritual origin, this is in fact a 100-year old post-office.
Plaza de Oriente
Framed by grand works of architecture and decorated with pretty gardens, this regal square is an oasis of calm within a busy tourist area of Madrid.
