Everything you need for Madrid in one place
A museum opened in 1819 with one of the most significant collections of European painting. Its galleries house works by Velázquez, Goya, El Greco, Rubens, and other great masters, with a focus on Spanish art from the Middle Ages to the 19th century. At least two to three hours are needed to visit the most famous works.
Built in the 18th century on the site of a former Moorish fortress, the Royal Palace is today used for state ceremonies and official events of the Spanish monarchy. Visitors can tour the lavish halls, the Throne Room, and collections of tapestries, porcelain, and historic weapons that bear witness to the rich history of the Spanish court.
The central square of Madrid and one of the busiest gathering places in the city. This is the location of the famous 'Kilómetro Cero', the point from which distances on Spanish national roads are traditionally measured. The square is surrounded by historic buildings, among which Casa de Correos stands out with its clock that marks the beginning of the New Year's celebration every year.
