Nearby attraction guides

Prado Museum

The Prado is Madrid's true pillar attraction and should drive hotel and day-planning for any art-led trip.

Retiro Park

Retiro is one of Madrid's best pacing tools, turning an art-heavy capital into a much more breathable city break.

Royal Palace of Madrid

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.
