It is a great way to see all of the city's iconic landmarks while saving time.
Those who plan an excursion route on their own should definitely include the following locations in it:
- Royal Palace with its famous Campo del Moro Gardens;
- Plaza de Cibeles with its monumental fountain;
- Plaza Mayor is where most sightseeing excursions start from;
- "Gate of the Sun" or Puerta del Sol and its main sight - a statue of a bear and a strawberry tree;
- the Prado Museum with its unique exhibition of works of art at a cost exceeding the collection of the famous Louvre;
- the Reina Sofia Museum is part of Madrid's Golden Triangle of Arts;
- Buen Retiro Park - the largest park in the capital;
- “Gates to Europe” - the main symbol of modern Madrid - two skyscrapers erected at an angle of 150.
It is better to observe Madrid museums with a English-speaking guide; you can plunge into the maelstrom of gastronomic pleasures with their cosido madrileño and gazpacho on your own.
