Madrid

Madrid moves at its own pace — late dinners, sun-soaked plazas, and world-class art around every corner. Catching a Madrid bus with FlixBus drops you right into one of Europe's most rewarding capitals, and with so many things to do in Madrid, a few days here will never feel like enough.

Art galleries

Museo Nacional del Prado is Spain's most important art museum and one of the finest in the world. Its permanent collection spans centuries of European painting, with particular depth in Spanish, Flemish, and Italian masters. Standing in front of Velázquez's Las Meninas or Goya's Black Paintings in person is a genuinely different experience from seeing them in reproduction. Set aside at least half a day and arrive early to avoid the longest queues.

Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza fills the gaps that the Prado and Reina Sofía leave open, covering everything from early Renaissance panels to 20th-century American pop art. The collection was assembled by the Thyssen-Bornemisza family over decades and is unusually broad for a single private holding. The Impressionist and Expressionist rooms on the upper floors are a particular highlight, and the museum's central location makes it easy to combine with the other two major galleries nearby.

Museums

Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía is the place to come for modern and contemporary Spanish art. The permanent collection is anchored by Picasso's Guernica, which occupies its own room and commands the kind of silence you rarely find in a busy museum. Beyond that single iconic work, the building holds an extensive survey of 20th-century avant-garde movements, and the rotating temporary exhibitions consistently bring in significant international shows.

Historic sites

Palacio Real de Madrid is the official residence of the Spanish royal family, though it is used today mainly for state ceremonies. The building is enormous, over 3,400 rooms, and the sections open to visitors include lavishly decorated royal apartments, an armoury, and a pharmacy that dates back centuries. The formal gardens on the western side offer a quieter escape and a sweeping view over the Casa de Campo.

Templo de Debod is an ancient Egyptian temple that was dismantled stone by stone and gifted to Spain in 1968 as thanks for helping to save monuments threatened by the construction of the Aswan Dam. It now sits in the Parque del Oeste, surrounded by a shallow reflecting pool. Come in the late afternoon. The light at sunset turns the sandstone a deep amber, and the views west toward the Sierra de Guadarrama are some of the best in the city.

Squares and plazas

Puerta del Sol is the geographical and symbolic heart of Madrid. Kilometre zero, the point from which all Spanish road distances are measured, is marked by a plaque set into the pavement here. The square is busy at almost any hour, and the clock on the Real Casa de Correos is where Madrileños traditionally gather on New Year's Eve to eat twelve grapes at midnight.

Plaza Mayor sits just a short walk from Puerta del Sol and has a completely different atmosphere. The enclosed rectangular square is ringed by uniform Habsburg-era buildings with painted facades and continuous arcades at street level. It has served as a marketplace, a bullring, and a site for public ceremonies over the centuries. Today the café terraces fill up quickly on warm evenings, and the Christmas market held here each December is one of the city's most atmospheric.

Parks

Parque del Buen Retiro was a royal retreat for centuries before it was opened to the public in the 19th century. At over 300 acres, it is large enough to absorb the crowds, and you can spend hours wandering between the boating lake, the glass-and-iron Palacio de Cristal, rose gardens, and shaded woodland paths. On weekends, street performers, book stalls, and families with picnics give the park a relaxed, social energy that feels very much like the city at its best.

Iconic buildings

Gran Vía is Madrid's most theatrical street, a broad avenue lined with early 20th-century buildings that mix Beaux-Arts, Art Deco, and eclectic styles in a way that still feels impressive today. It functions as the city's main theatre and cinema district, and the ground-floor shops and cafés keep it lively at almost any hour. Walking its full length from Calle de Alcalá to Plaza de España gives you a good sense of the city's architectural ambition.

Estadio Santiago Bernabéu is the home of Real Madrid and one of the most famous football stadiums in the world. With a seating capacity of 81,044 and a recently completed renovation that added a retractable roof and a striking new exterior, the stadium is worth visiting even if you can't catch a match. The tour takes you through the dressing rooms, the tunnel, and the trophy room, which holds an almost implausible number of European cups.

For art, football, food, or simply the pleasure of wandering a great city, the bus to Madrid is your starting point. Grab your FlixBus ticket and let Madrid do the rest.
