This article will highlight the top five places to visit in Madrid, of course, there are hundreds of things to see in Madrid, but these are the most exciting and perhaps the most memorable.

One of the first places to go see is the Prado Museum. It has received the highest rankings on TripAdvisor and it is a “must-see”
when visiting Madrid. It is filled with art collections from Goya and El Greco and a visitor should plan at least six hours to fully enjoy this museum. Make sure that you have had a filling brunch before becoming immersed in this fantastic museum. After finishing up at the museum, maybe go enjoy a relaxing stroll at the Retiro Park. It is a beautiful park that was created around a gorgeous lake, and it is perfect for relaxing after seeing so many beautiful pieces of art.

VISIT RETIRO MADRIDPerhaps in the evening, another fantastic thing to do would be sherry tasting at The Sherry Corner in San Miguel Market. Tourists will have had a packed day full of a delicious local brunch, art, nature, and now drinking alcohol is certainly the best way to wind down the awesome day! If they do not feel like sherry, then don’t forget about the bull-fighting that happens at the famous plaza de toros! It will certainly be a good night with whatever activity he or she chooses to do.

The next morning there is always the option of taking a Segway tour, but one of the best tours available is called Bravos Bike Tours. What’s better than biking through the streets of Madrid with the warm sun shining down and learning about the history of this fascinating city? This company has been around since 1999 and is very trustworthy and reliable. They also offer additional day trips to surrounding cities, but depending on the amount of time one has to spend in Madrid a visitor may not be able to take advantage of this.

Madrid gurus ShMadrid are able to help with more than just short term housing Madrid options – they also have information on public transportation during the trip. The last thing a traveler wants to worry or think about is where they are sleeping at night, and ShMadrid is a very reliable and trustworthy company to depend on while exploring Madrid.
