The capital of Spain is also one of the liveliest and fast-paced cities in the country, with a heady nightlife scene and delicious cuisine, grandiose museums and architecture as well as a plethora of art galleries. A Madrid city break will delight and surprise in equal measure, no matter what your age or shoe size. Start your trip at the Main Square and then decide whether to visit the many art galleries or break in your walking shoes and explore the magnificent architecture on foot, passing by such treats as the Teatro Real or the Toledo Archway. And the fun really starts to begin on your city break in Madrid once the sun has gone down. Those expecting regular tapas fare will be surprised with a menu of gastronomic delights. And for those who enjoy a lively nightlife scene on their city break to Madrid, the many nightclubs and bars are open until the wee hours, as are the restaurants.
Popular with football fans on a city break in Madrid, the Bernabeu Stadium Tour offers the chance to stand on the pitch, explore the dressing rooms, trophies exhibition and the player’s tunnel of the football team Real Madrid. If you are lucky enough to be staying in the city during one of their big matches, book tickets well in advance before you travel. Although expensive, these tickets sell out quickly and are an experience not to be missed.
