City Breaks & Travel Deals To Madrid, Europe
The Spanish capital is famous as being a hip place to be, full of fashionable people and teaming with museums, art galleries and boutiques. Literally and figuratively, the beating heard of one of Europe's most popular tourist destinations, Madrid is the epicenter around which the rest of Spain centers. Visitors booking city breaks to Madrid will spend the days taking in the fabulous architecture, the great museums and the historical sites, as well as the modern town. By night, Madrid is buzzing with excellent nightlife, fabulous restaurants and a cool population looking to party well into the small hours of the morning. Summer may not be the best time to visit this splendid city because the heat can become unbearable, but the great festivals and open-air shows hosted by Madrid in the evening more than make up for any discomfort tourists may have experienced during the day. Whenever travelers visit, Madrid is sure to meet their expectations.
During a city break in Madrid, visitors are advised to spend a couple of days getting to grips with the town's many museums. These include the world famous "Prado Museum" that is known for its excellent art collections, and the "Reina Sofia Museum", which is for those who appreciate modern art. The "Archaeology Museum" will tempt those who are interested in the area's early history, while the "Lazaro Galdiano Museum" is full of interesting artifacts. Next, voyagers should check out some of Madrid's best architecture, including Europe's biggest royal palace (Palacio Real) and then stroll through the Plaza Mayor or the Del Sol for a spot of people watching. "El Retiro Park" is the perfect spot for some down time in between museums or shops and the fabulous "Almudena Cathedral" provides some shade (and excellent architecture) on a hot day. Moreover, that is not the end of the list - there are much more museums, parks and plazas in which to spend a break in Madrid.
Thanks to the city's popularity, tourists will find no shortage of hotels and accommodation in Madrid. It is no surprise that there are plenty of 5-star and luxury boutique hotels in the capital, catering to Europe's well off tourists. The NH Palacio de Tepa is Madrid at its best, and the Grand Melia Felix Hotel or the Wellington Hotel all ooze luxury. Those looking for a good mid range hotel will find plenty of international chains such as the Best Western or the Petit Palace, as well as Madrid's own local variants. Finally, if travelers are on a budget then never fear in Madrid - there is a great selection of 1- and 2-star hotels in the city that offer basic facilities in a central location. These include the centrally located Francisco Hotel (right on the main square) or the Room Mate Mario, which is kitted out like a design hotel. If those are still too pricy, there are plenty of hostels in the city catering to students and backpackers alike.
When in Madrid, people should make sure to take the time to see a flamenco show, often accompanied by a fabulous meal. "Las Tablas" is a good one, and visitors will have an atmospheric evening filled with local music and dance. Voyagers are invited to head to "Sol Salamanca" if they fancy a bit of shopping, and the Sunday market at "El Rasto" for a bit of local life. In Madrid are a few local companies that offer city tours by bus, and these are especially useful if travelers are only in the town for a short time and want to orientate easily. For those in the area a bit longer, city breaks can be completed with day trips out to some of the excellent UNESCO World Heritage Sites a short drive from Madrid. These include Aranjuez, or the beautiful house of "El Escorial". An excellent trip is one to the medieval walled city of Toledo for those who love a bit of history and quaint charm.
