Madrid Travel Tips

Wondering what to see in Madrid? You might be disappointed to hear that there's equivalent to the Eiffel Tower or Statue of Liberty, but fortunately, there is enough going on here to last you weeks, months or even years! Madrid may not have instantly recognizable views, but our city is still pretty amazing and each year famous photographers visit to photograph its many corners.

With so many tapas to taste, museums to visit, and wonders to see, choosing what to do with your time in Madrid can be overwhelming, to say the least! And if you only have one day to explore, you'll want to make the absolute most of your time.

When you think of fashion capitals, cities such as Milan, Paris, and New York probably come to mind first--but don’t count Madrid out! There are countless options for shopping in Madrid, no matter what your style and budget may be.

Dubbing is a marvelous invention, but sometimes you just need to see a film in original version! On our days off we love nothing more than heading to the movies, and there’s nothing better than a tapa or two before seeing the show, followed by a cocktail or two after.

One of the top foodie hotspots in Madrid isn't a trendy tapas bar tucked into the backstreets of Chueca, or a bustling traditional market.
