Madrid is a highly cosmopolitan city and the largest in Spain. If you want to enjoy what is essentially a diverse mix of all the cultures and features of Spain, then Madrid makes for a great choice for a city break or an extended stay.
Historically, Madrid is a fascinating and diverse place, offering you such wonders as the Moorish Quarter, the world-famous museum of Museo del Prado, stunning palaces, botanical gardens and much more. In addition to some splendid architecture, great parks and plazas, Madrid is also a centre for a non-stop nightlife, world-class restaurants and all the shops that you could possibly want.
Madrid was created to unify the cultures of Spain, making for a perfect centralization of the nation. Almost right in the middle of Spain, Madrid is easy to get to from almost anywhere else in the country and it is also served by flights to countries all over the world including some very cheap budget connections to various other cities in Europe.
Madrid is also quite easy to navigate, its central area quite manageable and great for walking around and popping in and out of cafes, museums and churches. The magnificent Plaza Mayor is also not to be missed.
