What to see in Madrid in 2 days
A capital the size of Madrid requires a certain amount of organization so that in two days you can meet your goal of seeing the essentials. If you follow this itinerary, you will achieve it because we have combined visits to emblematic buildings, such as the Royal Palace and the Almudena Cathedral, with two great museums, such as El Prado and the Thyssen-Bornemisza. In addition to culture, you will have time to stroll through the Retiro Park, go shopping and visit gastronomic places such as the San Miguel Market, in the heart of the capital. The night is up to you, do you want to attend a flamenco show or do you prefer to dine in a Michelin-starred restaurant?
In Madrid you will enjoy as never before in two days, but you will need as many days to recover from the excitement of discovering all the facets of the capital.
