3. Puerta del Sol

Madrid lies dead-centre in the middle of Spain – and the Puerta del Sol lies dead-centre in the middle of Madrid. It's here that Spain's map-makers and road-builders placed their starting-mark, to be used for counting distances around the country. But the Puerta del Sol isn't just about geography and maps – there are other reasons why this square is considered the focal point of the country. Meetings, celebrations and marches are naturally drawn here. Over the last few years, it has been the rallying point for Spanish protests over the global recession and Euro-crisis.

4. Plaza Mayor

Madrid is a city of many squares, plazas and parks – but none are quite like the Plaza Mayor. Sitting right in the heart of old Madrid, not only is it one of the city's oldest and biggest – it is probably its most breath-taking. Built to a design of 16th century artist Juan de Herrera, it was the 1790 reconstruction by Juan de Villanueva that stood the test of time (two other efforts burned down in great fires). But what all the designs shared, and what makes the Plaza Mayor so special, is its four-sided, three-storey high wall of arcaded housing – ringed by balconies, topped by towers, and painted with bright murals.

5. Prado Museum

Madrid's Prado Museum can count itself in an elite handful of global art museums, with a collection as famed for its quality as it is for its quantity – particularly when it comes to the Renaissance and Classical paintings of Europe. Works by Hieronymous Bosch, Rubens, Botticelli, van Dyck and Rembrandt hold pride of place, in a collection that ranges from the 12th to 19th centuries. Take a count, and you'll find over 7,000 paintings, 1,000 sculptures, and 13,000 prints and drawings housed here. Naturally, the works of Spanish artistic genius feature most prominently, with the Prado having world's most comprehensive collections of artists like Goya and Diego de Velázquez.
