Nearby attraction guides
The Prado is Madrid's true pillar attraction and should drive hotel and day-planning for any art-led trip.
Retiro is one of Madrid's best pacing tools, turning an art-heavy capital into a much more breathable city break.
The Royal Palace is Madrid's strongest classic-monument anchor and is best paired with an old-center day rather than an art-axis day.
