About the Destination
Madrid is Spain’s lively capital, home to the Prado, Reina Sofía and Thyssen-Bornemisza museums along the Paseo del Arte, the Royal Palace, and the sprawling Retiro Park. Add in tapas crawls through La Latina and late-night energy around Plaza Mayor and Gran Vía, and it makes a superb starting point for exploring the rest of Spain by high-speed rail. See the official Madrid tourism site for attractions and planning tips.
