MADRID | 20 top things to do in Madrid, Spain

Foreign Attractions enjoy some delicious Spanish food and drink and just experience the culture I really hope you enjoy the video and please hit the like so I’m just in Plaza mule and I’ve stopped up for a local dish called bakadia calamares which is lightly fried squares in a white roll so we only and

Lemon I’ve never tried it before and I thought it’d be really heavy but it’s not it’s something to definitely try when you come here the platter itself was built in the 16th century and has been used for many public events such as bullfighting processions and even executions nowadays you have lots of

Bars and restaurants and some shops and it’s used for a Christmas Market just around the corner you have Ricardo San Miguel which is where I’m heading to Next for some more food [Applause] there are over 40 local food markets in Madrid with Mercado San Miguel being the most popular with both locals and tourists there are over 20 stands with food from all over Spain and they don’t only have Spanish cuisine you have empanadas baobans tacos walking around the food is presented beautifully you

Almost don’t want to eat it I’m really looking forward to trying some ham on foreign Palace is the official residence of the Spanish War family but actually it’s only used for State ceremonies it’s the largest in Western Europe and it definitely has a Grandeur about it the interior is decorated with gold marble beautiful artworks and huge chandeliers it feels very opulent like you would

Expect my favorite room was the royal Armory which is separate to the main Palace and has weapons and armor worn by the royal family since the 13th century you can save time by buying tickets in advance online and all bags need to be checked in in the cloak room just make

Sure you have some change for that and photography is also limited around the side of the palace you have the change of the guards that takes place on Wednesday and Saturday at 11AM and 2PM you also have the sabatini gardens which are lovely to walk around directly opposite the palace is La almudina

Cathedral which is worth a visit entrance is free and they also have a use it which you have to pay to enter right between the palace and Cathedral you have a new observation deck which gives you stunning views of the surrounding area and entries free You can’t come to Spain without trying some tourists and I’m surprised to learn that it’s traditionally eaten for breakfast I always thought it was eaten for dessert not that I’m complaining I’ve come to Japanese there’s quite a few places around the city and all of them are quite similar this place is

Really popular you have two queues one for takeaway and one for eating in and if you are eating and you need to pay before you sit down the tourist itself is really light and the chocolate isn’t too heavy you can even drink the chocolate at the end I’m a big fan of

The Netflix show somebody feed Phil and he inspired me to come to this restaurant salad did despacito or sdd the interior is very different it feels very clinical you’re eating all these countertops on bar stools and you’ve got this club music playing each dish is completely different

There’s such bold flavors you can either go for the set menu which is 45 Euros per person which I think is really good value or you can go for the a la carte it doesn’t include drinks the set menu and when they bring out each dish they

Assemble it in front of you each server is trained to do this and there’s such a Showmanship to it it’s something really different I definitely recommend that you come here I got lucky I didn’t book and I got the last table but there’s so many people were turned away after me so

I definitely recommend booking if you want to come here foreign ancient Egyptian temple is not something I’d expect to see in Madrid but it was actually donated by the Egyptian government to Spain to save it from flooding when they were building it as one Dam it’s one of few examples of

Ancient Egyptian architecture outside Egypt in the world and it’s the only one of its kind in Spain entry is free but they only allow 15 people at a time so they may be a bit of a queue getting in you could just save some time by just

Having a look from outside to get here there is a bit of an uphill walk but you get some lovely views on the city and the palace and I’d recommend coming on a sunny day because it’s just a different sort of experience foreign Which the rooftop bar right in the city center it’s not free you do have to pay five euros which you do downstairs on one of the machines and then you take the elevator up and you’re greeted with this panoramic view it’s got a really chill Vibe you can

Order a drink at the bar or at the table with a QR code you can’t make a booking if you’re coming for drinks or snack but you can make a reservation if you can eat here at the restaurant for some fabulous cocktails you have to come to

England brutal bar and the deck was really vibrant and quirky and they serve their cocktails in extravagant glasses based on what’s inside the drink and they also serve food and there’s a DJ here the vibe is really cool and funky it’s right in the area of Seoul which is

Known for his nightlife so I definitely recommend you make a book and if you want to come here Santiago bernabao home to Real Madrid the world’s most successful football team with 14 European titles and they’ve hosted world-class players such as puskas de Stefano zidane Figo and CR7 to name a

Few currently the Stadium’s going a huge renovation which should finish this year so you have to buy your tickets online if you don’t make a game then I definitely recommend a stadium tour and if you buy a ticket to get your guide or get discount I’ll leave a link in the

Description box below ala Madrid Foreign [Applause] has a really rustic feel to it it’s very small and everything is cooked by one chef they have a lot of dishes which are awful based such as kidneys intestines sweet bread I haven’t been that brave though I’ve ordered more traditional Tapas such as chorizo peppers and fried

Anchovies the food has been delicious what I expected everything is heavily seasoned with salt which is something I found everywhere I’ve eaten in Madrid so I think it’s something that Spanish like it’s not something I’m used to though El rotiro Park is the largest park in the

City and it originally belonged to the royal family until it was open to the public in the late 19th century it’s one of the places I’ve been most excited about visiting there is so much to see here from monuments ornate fountains and formal Gardens the Highlight for me has

To be the Monument of Alfonso the 12th which is absolutely stunning it’s overlooked by the large lake where you can also rent a rowboat it costs six to eight Euros depending on what day of the week you come on the other side of the park is palazzo

De Cristal which is a beautiful iron and glass building that’s also surrounded by a lake the architect that designed this was actually inspired by Crystal Palace in London you also have the statue of the Fallen Angel which is the only sculpture in the world that represents the devil I think

You can definitely spend a few hours here walking around and taking the sights there’s also a couple of restaurants here in case all that walking makes you hungry is like an old-school Tapper bar you either eat at the bar or have a standing table and they specialize in bakliya which is

Salted dried Cod that has been rehydrated and fried in a batter it was lovely and light and the fish was so fresh I actually thought it was just a Portuguese dish I didn’t realize that the Spanish had their own version you know the place is good when it’s filled

With locals the Golden Triangle of art refers to the three main art museums in Madrid the Reina Sophia The Prado Museum and the Fist and born and Lisa Museum which are all located by one of the main boulevards of Madrid the Paseo Del Prado and are within 15 minutes walk of each

Other they have some of the world’s best collections of Spanish and European art the museumdale product contains works by some of the most well-known artists from the period between the 16th and 19th century such as El Greco Goya and Velasquez it’s absolutely huge with over 27 000 paintings the Reyna Sofia

Contains a collection dedicated to the 20th century and contemporary art from artists such as Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dali the 5th and bonamisa Museum filled in the historical gaps from the other two Museum collections if you are planning on going to all three museums I’d recommend getting combined ticket for amusement.com which will

Allow you to skip the line and give you a discount too I’ll leave a link in the description if you’re on a budget you can visit some of the museums for free on certain days or the last two hours of opening also bear in mind that photography is limited and they won’t

Let you take rucksacks in so just make sure you have some change for the lockers I’m at Rafael Nadal’s restaurant called hotel and they have branches in different countries as well I ordered the beef fillet which was cooked to Perfection and it came with asparagus Earth and mashed potato and for dessert

I got the cheesecake which was absolutely delicious I definitely recommend that the serbs has been really good and they have live music every night and it’s a little bit out of the city center but it’s definitely worth coming to for a nice treat this is kilometer zero in puerta del Sol which

Is the point at which distance in Madrid are measured from just a minute from here you have glanvia which is Madrid’s most famous street it’s probably best known for its shopping you have popular High Street Brands such as Zara and H M you also have a few theater cinemas and

Nightclubs another hot spots checkout is Andres Santos which is only about a five minute walk from Grand beer and they serve some fabulous cocktails I got the ladies night which is a gin based cocktail some craft beer and some really interesting Tapas I had the grilled squid with mint and apple I’ve never

Tried anything like that and also try the grilled beef with chimichuru it was delicious Madrid is a relatively large city but the main attractions are quite Central so if you’re staying in the city center you can walk to most things with regards to public transport you have

Buses trains and the metro and I got the Metro from the airport into the city center which was quite straightforward and took about 30 minutes to use a Metro you need to buy a multi-public transport card which looks like this and it costs 2 Euros 50. once you have it you can top

It up with whatever ticket you like and you have single tickets which cost from one Euro 50 depending on how far you’re traveling and you can also buy a 10 Journey ticket which can also be used on the buses also just to bear in mind there is a

Surcharge if you’re traveling to and from the airport I actually bought a tourist card which looks like this and that allows unlimited travel on the bus train and Metro within a chosen area for up to seven days and I bought it for three days for Zone a which is sent from

Madrid and that costs 18 Euros 40 which I thought was really good value you can buy both cards from the Metro ticket machines and if there is a long Queue at the airport metro ticket machine you can buy the tourist card from the customer service kiosk which saved a bit of time

The bus system is also fantastic and you can get to most parts of Madrid on the bus I found the public transport system to be really clean efficient and cheap compared to other European cities and just to bear in mind it’s still compulsory to wear face masks on all public transport

Taxi and Uber is readily available and you can get that from the airport to the city center which cost around 30 Euros and it’s a good idea to brush up on some Basics fans to get around because not everyone speaks English I really enjoyed my stay at room 007 selection the

Location is really good as it’s right by Opera Metro station and a few minutes walk from Puerto Del Sol the room itself was a really good size the bed was comfortable and it’s very quiet I love the balcony and the black up blinds were a nice touch just to note the toilet and

Shower are in the bedroom even though it’s cornered off it’s not as private I think if you are sharing with someone you have to be very comfortable with them the hotel had a very hipster Vibe and it said coffee and breakfast downstairs for an extra cost the staff

Was super helpful and I would stay here again if I came to Madrid
