5 LIGHTNING PLANS TO ENJOY A FEW HOURS IN MADRID

Although they say that all the streets lead to Rome it seems that Madrid catches us somewhat closer and, sooner or later, we will end up passing through the capital to take a flight, a train or a bus. In this case we will have two options: forget about the city and go directly to the station or airport, or take advantage of the fact that we are in one of the most beautiful cities in Europe to get to know it more closely.

Regardless of whether it is your first time as if you have already visited it hundreds of times: It is always the perfect time to enjoy Madrid again. But what to do when only a short time is available? Here we are going to tell you 5 lightning plans To enjoy a few hours in Madrid.

1. VISIT THE KM ZERO AND THE PLAZA MAYOR

Is it your first time in the capital? Well, talk no more, as much as it seems, step on km 0, walk through Puerta del Sol and go to the Plaza Mayor to eat a squid sandwich It is a 100% Madrid experience. Well, rather 100% Guiri-Madrid ... but that's what the topics are, right?

Do you have any more time? Approach the San Miguel Market, the paradise of every foodie that boasts.

2. UPLOAD THE FINE ARTS CIRCLE

Climbing your roof costs € 4 and drinks are around € 10. Cheap, cheap, it's not, but the views from its terrace are, for us, the best in Madrid. You will have at your feet the Gran Vía, Calle Alcalá and in front of you the majestic Metropolis building…. Buah, amazing.

Do you have any more time? Walk the Gran Vía and / or go through an entire Madrid legend: the cider El Tigre (Calle Infantas, 30), where each drink is accompanied by a delicious lid. Baratito, baratito: with € 5 you have two jugs of beers and food dishes rich and big.

3. KNOW THE TEMPLE OF DEBOD

An Egyptian temple in the center of Madrid? Yes, we talk about Temple of Debod, one of the most relaxing, curious and beautiful places in the capital. It is true that the best time is sunset but go at the time you go will make you fall in love.

Do you have any more time? Approach the Almudena Cathedral and the Royal Palace, they are 1.5 km from the Debod temple and are worth it.

4. DO A FREE TOUR

If you want to take advantage of your visit, we recommend joining a free walking tour. There are many offers, though the basic tours last about 2-3 hours and will take you to discover famous places like the Plaza Mayor or the Royal Palace and other more curious ones like the oldest restaurant in the world. The guides will also tell you about Madrid and Spain. Just don't forget to leave a tip!

Do you have any more time? Do not miss a visit to the Prado Museum, one of the most interesting in all of Spain (and the world).

5. PASS BY THE RETIREMENT PARK

Are you looking for a green lung in the center of Madrid? The Retiro Park is your perfect place: Here you can walk among trees, fountains, statues and flowers, visit the beautiful Crystal Palace, improvise a picnic or just relax before your trip.

Do you have any more time? Rent a rowing boat and take a walk around Lake Retiro ... more romantic impossible (although watch out for laces!)

Small detail ... What will you do with your luggage?Don't worry, man, that the city has thought of everything. Well, more than the city, it was the Dropit guys, who have installed some slogans in the center of Madrid where you can leave your bags and / or backpacks while you go out to discover the city. It costs from € 3.50 / day and it is in Jardines Street, 25, a few steps from Puerta del Sol.

Do you see how you no longer have an excuse not to spend some of your life waiting for your train, bus or plane to leave in Madrid? The city is much better than a sad waiting room 🙂
