Plan your holidayArt collections, neighbourhood cafés and late dinners.
Madrid rewards a few days spent between museums, parks and neighbourhood streets. Give major galleries their own time, then leave space for tapas stops and evenings without a rigid schedule.
MadridMake it your kind of trip.
Retiro time
Build in a walk through El Retiro as a quieter break between busier city visits.
Neighbourhood evenings
Explore the atmosphere around your hotel, with dinner reservations only where they really matter to you.
