3. 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.

4. 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.

5. El Retiro Park

Long a preserve of royalty, El Parque de Retiro is where the Habsburgs, Europe's most powerful monarchs, came to play. Its giant pond hosted mock naval battles, its formal gardens saw elaborate and extravagant plays. Now it's the place you come to, to picnic, promenade and ponder – and maybe push the paddle-boat out, onto the waters of the Estanque del Retiro.

A park with topiary trees, a paved walkway, and people walking.

6. Royal Palace of Madrid

If you could measure a royal palace by floor space, then Madrid's Palacio Real would come out on top. With 3,400 rooms, it's easily the largest in Europe. But the Royal Palace has more than size to commend it. There are the cool glades of the Sabbatini Gardens, the intricate formality of the Plaza de Oriente, which opens out on to the Royal Theatre, and the elegant grandness of the Plaza de la Armería, facing onto the Almudena Cathedral.
