Madrid, one of Europe’s most lively and attractive cities, an architectural gem where the real Spanish character spills out onto the streets, seducing casual visitors and art lovers alike. Endless days, enjoying tapas at midnight and partying ‘til dawn.

One of the main attractions is the neo-classical renaissance and Gothic architecture. The well preserved 17th century cobbled Plaza Mayor highlights the past wealth, when Madrid was an influential trading empire, and today you can enjoy a drink in one of the many pavement cafes before setting out to explore this vibrant city.

Madrid is a loud, bustling city, where everyone is welcome and nobody seems to be out of place. Madrilenos are sociable and unreserved, and passionate about whatever subject is raised. Eating plays a large part in Spanish life, and there are many bars, restaurants and cafes to choose from before heading for one of Madrid’s many nightclubs.
