Madrid, Spain
City introduction
Late-night tapas, world-class art and sunny strolls in Retiro. Madrid keeps Europe's latest schedule — dinner at ten, tapas crawls through La Latina at midnight, and Flamenco sets that run late into the night. Days belong to the Golden Triangle of Art (Prado, Reina Sofía, Thyssen-Bornemisza), rowboats on the Retiro lake, and easy day trips to Toledo and Segovia.
