Madrid, the beating heart of Spain and one of Europe's most vibrant capitals, has reigned as the nation's seat of power since the 16th century, when King Philip II chose it as the throne of his empire. The city pulses with an infectious energy that refuses to fade long after midnight, weaving together a remarkable tapestry of world-class art in the Prado and Reina Sofía museums, opulent royal palaces, and lively tapas bars that keep their doors open until the small hours of the morning. Come to Madrid and immerse yourself in the authentic, irresistible spirit of the Spanish capital.
