And you’ll get a drink along the way your first stop could be the plaza de cibeles which is a symbol of Madrid there’s a huge fountain and it used to be the pass of communication and now that’s where the City Council meets it is a completely photogenic spot and

Perfect for your first day in Madrid in the same area you can walk to when Latino or El Retiro Park the park used to be the famous gardens of the Royal Palace but now it’s a public space and it’s an expansive green space you can spend some time in the beautiful rose

Gardens or go see the statue walk where there are all types of statues lined in a row you can also go to the Palacio de croo style or the Crystal Palace which is a gorgeous sight and it’s also a popular venue for outdoor events and art galleries you can grab a picnic with

Some friends or by yourself by grabbing some tapas and spreading a blanket out in the green space you can rent a boat you can write a fire you can listen to live performances there’s a lot to do and when the rato apart so do not miss

It and it’s a great respite from the warm Madrid weather after the park you can check out the Museo del Prado one of the best museums in Spain which houses the largest collection of Spanish as well as European art in the entire country while you’re there you can check

Out Velazquez famous les – as well as the Garden of Earthly Delights and a bunch of other beautiful breathtaking pieces of art I did a whole video just on the Museo del Prado how to get in for free as well as some things to see just

Go ahead and click the link above or check down the description down below another thing you can do in Madrid is shoe shopping yes espadrilles are fire in Madrid oh my goodness let me tell you so check out Casa de Nimes for some authentic handmade and affordable espadrilles for men women and children

And stay tuned because I’m gonna do a video all about buying from the famous casa hair nuns speaking of buying espadrilles at Casa her nuns if you walk directly out of the store to your left then guess what you are at the world-famous Plaza Mayor this Plaza was

Built in the late 15th and early 16th centuries and used to be the site of major public gatherings and still currently today it’s the site of public gatherings and performances and shows and there’s a lot of shopping and restaurants in the area so definitely check that out while you’re in Madrid

Once you’re done browse me around Plaza my or you can head down to restaurant a sobrino de bois 10:00 or restaurant Bebo 10 which is the world Guinness record oldest operating restaurant in the world it was built in 1725 and they still serve their world-famous suckling pig in

The original ovens it is delicious and you have to have reservations I did a whole blog about my personal experience there so check that out in the description down below another option for you so check out we’re told a soul this is the main central spot in Spain

It connects all kinds of different metro lines there are shops restaurants bars and not to mention el oso e el Macarena which is the bear and the strawberry tree and iconic symbol of Madrid and that’s also where the famous clock stands for New Year’s Eve so if you want

To participate in a New Year’s Eve countdown you need to be at Puerto this hole on your second day of Madrid check out more of the famous museum that make up the Triangle of museums in the area the Reina Sofia Museum which houses Picasso’s Guernica as well as the Tyson

Born in Mesa which is a beautiful beautiful place to check out wonderful art while you’re in the area did you know Madrid has a green wall yes it is a vertical garden not a horizontal garden but a vertical garden that stands on the side of the cats the Forum building this

Thing is so cool and you don’t even expect it not only is it helping to keep the air clean in Madrid but it’s usually about seven degrees cooler so if you’re walking around all day and need just a little rest just park yourself on the side of this green wall it showcases

15,000 plants and over 250 native species it is a can’t-miss site in Madrid after cooling down under the green wall don’t forget to stop by Sandy maze for some famous Trudeau’s each hook on that thing and at night what better way to celebrate the Spanish culture

Than with a flamenco show and if you want to turn it up just a notch don’t just go to a tent and watch a flamenco show you may want to take a workshop a flamenco workshop before the show and guess what maybe you want to get dinner

After your workshop so you have a flamenco workshop dinner and performance all in one night it is so fun when I went I ran into a hen party from Scotland and we had a blast having drinks learning how to dance and just enjoying the culture and the music and

The sound and the dance and just so you know so you’re not frantically writing down everything there is to do I put all the descriptions for everything I’m talking about from the tours and also I have a couple of Madrid resources from Lonely Planet as well as Rick Steves

Online and in advance before you go it’s no longer the official residence of the royal family but it is used for state dinners and state functions to this very day and before you actually get to the palace there are a number of beautiful fountains right across the street from

It almost like an introduction to the palace there’s gorgeous lions and water so check those out and take a couple of pictures before you head to the palace after visiting the past if you’re feeling regal and like you want to spend the little money on yourself

Check out the grand vo which houses a lot of nineteen hundred’s architecture and a ton of shopping I think I went to like the three levels are there it was crazy there’s a lot of cool things to purchase on that street another thing you can do in Madrid is check out the
