Covering the area from Plaza de Neptuno to Atocha, Paseo del Prado can be considered the core of aristocratic and institutional Madrid: The area contains the Prado Museum, the Thyssen Bornemisza Museum, Reina Sofía National Art Centre Museum, the Jardín Botánico (Royal Botanical Gardens), Palacio de las Cortes -the Spanish Parliament-, the fountains of Cibeles, Neptuno, and the Puerta de Alcalá -three of Madrid’s icons-, the Bank of Spain, the Madrid City Headquarters, Spain’s Stock Exchange, The Zarzuela Theater, Círculo de Bellas Artes and Casa América -two of the best cultural institutions of the city-, Hotel Ritz, Hotel Palace….and some of our favorite tapas bars. It’s also an exceptionally quiet area given its central location.
The area between the Paseo de Prado and the Parque del Retiro, is well known for the splendid houses it has.
