Is a primer on Spanish and European art, with an enormous collection of paintings and sculptures from Spain&#8217;s biggest names, including Diego Velazquez, El Greco and Francisco Goya.

It is also home to the famous statue of the bear and the strawberry tree, the official symbol of Madrid.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Golden Triangle of Art<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Madrid is home to a collection of the world\u2019s best art galleries and the three most famous are located close to each other in a triangle.

Today it is the home of Madrid City Council and a visitor attraction because of the incredible views from its observation deck.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Barrio de Las Letras<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Barrio de Las Letras (Literary Quarter) is one of Madrid\u2019s most beautiful and coolest neighborhoods. It was the home of Spanish literary giant and Don Quixote author, Miguel de Cervantes and is full of eccentric bars and restaurants. Make sure to look down once in a while because the streets are peppered with famous literary quotes.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Matadero<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This former Matadero (slaughterhouse), situated along the River Manzanares, was converted into an arts center in the early 2000s. It has its own cinema and exhibition spaces and holds regular performances and food markets.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bullfighting is an undeniable part of Spanish culture, and Las Ventas, in the Salamanca district, is an iconic landmark known for its Moorish design and ceramic tiles. Today, in spring and fall, the venue remains an important arena for bullfights.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bear in mind that good seats in the shade aren&#8217;t cheap and that many travelers won&#8217;t have the stomach to watch the bullfights (or may simply not want to engage with the practice). If you&#8217;re interested in seeing the arena, though, you can still tour it without seeing the main spectacle.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plaza Dos de Mayo<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This square is in the heart of the trendy neighborhood of Malasa\u00f1a and is surrounded by a host of excellent bars, restaurants and shops: a great location for nightlife in Madrid.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/teleferico.emtmadrid.es\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Telef\u00e9rico de Madrid<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Madrid Telef\u00e9rico is a cable car service that connects both sides of Madrid, crossing the river and helping locals avoid rush-hour traffic on their morning and evening commutes. You&#8217;ll also see photo-snapping tourists and some families. On the other side of the river is Casa de Campo, an amusement park and zoo. It&#8217;s a great way to gain a new perspective of the city, especially its vast quantity of green spaces.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Atocha Train Station<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Madrid\u2019s main train has a very unusual feature: its very own indoor rainforest, home to dozens of turtles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-29783 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cis-spain.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/what-to-do-in-Madrid-Atocha-station-1024x818.jpg\" alt=\"atocha station - what to do in Madrid\" width=\"1024\" height=\"818\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cis-spain.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/what-to-do-in-Madrid-Atocha-station-1024x818.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cis-spain.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/what-to-do-in-Madrid-Atocha-station-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cis-spain.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/what-to-do-in-Madrid-Atocha-station-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cis-spain.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/what-to-do-in-Madrid-Atocha-station-1536x1227.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.cis-spain.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/what-to-do-in-Madrid-Atocha-station.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">El Rastro<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Madrid\u2019s famous flea market is held every Sunday morning, when the streets come to life with stalls, bars open out onto the streets and locals and tourists alike enjoy the fiesta atmosphere around the area of Lavapi\u00e9s.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.realmadrid.com\/en\/santiago-bernabeu-stadium\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Santiago Bernab\u00e9u Stadium<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Santiago Bernab\u00e9u Stadium is home of Real Madrid, the city&#8217;s beloved pro soccer team. The stadium is something of a temple for soccer fans (81,000 of them when the place is full) which explains the energy whenever the home team scores a goal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Calle de Fuencarral<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blink and you might miss Calle de Fuencarral, a narrow pedestrian street off Gran Via. Street performers entertain as shoppers pop in and out of stores &#8211; mostly international chains with a few local boutiques thrown in for good measure. You can&#8217;t get lost, although the side streets are also worth a peek. The road is almost entirely flat, no cobblestones here. Still, save those high heels for the fancier Calle Serrano.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">KIO Towers (Gate of Europe)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The seemingly gravity defying KIO towers in Madrid\u2019s Financial District lean at a 15-degree angle and were the first leaning skyscrapers in the world.
