Madrid is the capital of Spain and not Barcelona as many think. And of course the city is home to Real Madrid, one of the most famous football clubs in Europe. The city is elegant, full of historical sights and is a dynamic cultural city.
Different countries, different customs - this also applies to meals. In Madrid, dinner is not served until around 9:30 p.m., because the holy hora del aperitivo (aperitif time) begins around 8:00 p.m., during which you treat yourself to a few glasses of wine or sangria and a few tapas.
Today Madrid is one of the most important European metropolises with a little more than three million inhabitants. Most of the city dwellers are newcomers or the children of newcomers. That makes it easy for strangers to feel at home in Madrid.
The 1,239-meter-long and 94-meter-wide Plaza Mayor is arguably the city's most famous landmark because over the centuries it has served as a venue for markets, bullfights, football matches, theater performances, public exhibitions and the gruesome burnings of alleged heretics at the stake. Today there are many bars and restaurants in the basement of the four-story residential buildings with a total of 237 balconies. Lively events take place here all year round, including an atmospheric Christmas market and the festival in honor of San Isidro, Madrid's patron saint.
The Royal Palace (Palacio Real) is a remarkable building, which is the official residence of the Spanish royal family, but in which the family does not live, but is only used for representation purposes and state receptions. That is why many parts of the Royal Palace are open to the public.
Madrid's Art Triangle is on the Paseo del Prado. There are three famous museums on this boulevard: the Museo del Prado, the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, and the Museo Reina Sofia. Masterpieces by Picasso, Goya, Velázquez, El Greco and Bosch can be seen in these museums. The collection of the Museo Del Prado art museum includes paintings by Spanish painters as well as works of art by Botticelli, Caravaggio, Albrecht Dürer and Rembrandt.
In addition to the museums, Las Ventas is also an eye-cather. It is one of the largest bullrings in the world in the center of the Spanish capital. When bullfights are not taking place, it serves as a venue for concerts and other sporting events. For example, the Davis Cup Final 2008 (tennis) took place here.

You should try the delicious churros when you visit Madrid. This pastry specialty is crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside and tastes best when it is hot and dipped in a thick chocolate sauce. Chocolatería San Ginés is widely recognized as the best place in town for churros and hot chocolate.
