Useful tips for your stay in Madrid

Madrid, the capital of Spain, is known for its historical buildings, renaissance and contemporary art museums, unique neighborhoods, and bustling nightlife. Once you visit, you'll most definitely wish to go back.

The Plaza Mayor is one of Madrid’s enormous open squares, with nine entrances, 17th-century frescoes, and King Felipe III’s bronze statue in the middle. This meeting place also offers lively events throughout the year. If you’ve worked up an appetite, there are plenty of cafes serving coffee, beer, and Madrid’s quintessential calamari sandwich.

Madrid is also a great place for food lovers. One of the most interesting experiences you can experience there is eating at Sobrino de Botín – the supposedly oldest restaurant in the world. Try the incredible suckling pig or the delicious roast lamb, and get ready for the ultimate taste experience!

If you're a football fan, don't miss Santiago Bernabéu, the Real Madrid’s stadium. It is one of the most visited places in the city, with more than 1 million visitors a year.
