Madrid is one of those cities to see at least once in life, a little 'because it is a metropolis, a little' because the sound of his name resounds in our minds during the years of high school next to that of Barcelona. Because, finally, we like a lot our Spanish cousins , especially for similar customs to our own, but distinct, for the "caliente" soul, the laughter ... What are the reasons to visit Madrid? We'll reveal 7, but you can add as many as you want.
MUSEUMS
Let's start with the culture question, Madrid is a city rich in history and museums, from the most famous, El Prado, the National Archaeological Museum, the Natural Science, and still the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum and the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia.
In short, you can get drunk of culture and without citing else outside of museums ... think to how much more is waiting for you outside the four walls.
TASTE A SANDWICH WITH INSIDE THE FRIED SQUIDS
Another reason to go to Madrid is definitely the food, including tapas, famous throughout Spain, but it is not absolutely to lose the sandwich with the fried calamari, accompanied by a delicious fresh beer. Ah remember to call it "cerveza"! A little curiosity: in Madrid there is also the oldest restaurant in the world, according to the Guinness Book of Records: El Botin.
NIGHTLIFE
As Barcelona and like many other European capitals, Madrid is the center of the party, those who want to have fun have to come here, those who do not want to be sitting on the couch to complain of why and how it is not able to find something to do on weekends ... believe us, here it can not happen!
ROYAL PALACE
