    \n
  1. If you’re an art lover, you can’t miss the museum triangle featuring El Prado<\/a>, Reina Sofia<\/a> and Thyssen-Bornemisza museums. They hold some of the most valuable collections of renaissance, baroque and modern art in the world.<\/li>\n
  2. You can relax at the Retiro park<\/a>, a beautifully landscaped oasis in the middle of the bustling city.<\/li>\n
  3. No sports fans should miss the enormous Real Madrid home stadium, one of the largest in the world. Hardcore football fans should also plan a visit to the Vicente Calderon stadium (home of Atletico de Madrid).<\/li>\n
  4. Visit the Atocha train station<\/a> to admire its stunning architecture and breathtaking indoor “jungle”.<\/li>\n
  5. Madrid is a great example of urban development with the central M30 highway moved underground to leave place for parks and recreation areas by the Manzanares river.<\/li>\n
  6. Madrid’s unique climate<\/a> makes it a suitable destination for almost all year (except summer when it gets too hot and dry).<\/li>\n
  7. The medieval town center hides many architectural treasures waiting for you to discover them.<\/li>\n
  8. The square beside the Royal Palace<\/a> boasts statues of every ruler of Spain since Roman times.<\/li>\n
  9. Several beautiful UNESCO listed cities and towns are just an hour away.<\/li>\n
  10. Discover Plaza Mayor<\/a>, an authentic Spanish enclosed square, that witnessed everything from Christmas markets to bullfighting and public executions.<\/li>\n
  11. The largest urban park<\/a> in Spain is also located in Madrid, and it’s bigger than New York’s Central Park.<\/li>\n
  12. Several baroque and neoclassical gates, such as Puerta de Alcal\u00e1 and Puerta de Toledo still remain in place, allowing you to imagine where the city walls once stood.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you’re an art lover, you can’t miss the museum triangle featuring El Prado, Reina Sofia and Thyssen-Bornemisza museums.
