| Madrid is not as large as it might seem – especially the central districts. Right in the middle of the city is the Puerta del Sol, a traffic nexus that is the “kilometer zero” from which all distances are measured. West and south of the Sol are the oldest areas of the city, Los Austrias, which contain the Royal Palace (Palacio Real) and the historic and well-trodden square, the Plaza Mayor.

Madrid is worth a visit because of...
- its three major museums Museo del Prado, the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía and the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza which together make up a magnificent display showing the history of western art.
- Other must-see’s are the Royal Palace, the Retiropark and the archeologist museum.
- The city offers varied culinary traditions of the entire Iberian Peninsula which has been enriched by immigrants from Andalucia, Galicia, Asturia and a number of other regions. |
