What a journey! It's the world's most horizontal cable car and you're never very far from the ground, so the views of the parkland and over Madrid are good but not spectacular, but getting out and up is wonderful.

Puerto de Alcala

Just a gorgeous spot, particularly at night. It's a lovely monument and if you look closely you can even see where it's been under attack as well!

Royal Palace

Insider tip: free on Wednesdays so get there early! Great art collection, and the rooms are so stunning, particularly the throne room. Gardens are great too and you can get into these for free any time.

Royal Botanical Gardens

I went to Madrid in the summer and boy does it get hot there! My favourite place to grab some shade in was the botanical gardens, and just to chill out by the duck pond with the locals for a while.

Royal Palace of Madrid (Palacio Real)

posted by irishiiiiiis on 19 May 2009 at 09:26

Madrid's Royal Palace is a must see attraction when visiting this city. It is just a short walk from the opera stop on the metro. When you get there you can stroll the impressive courtyards that lead to the palace. Once inside you can take the 45 minute guided tour or for one euro less wander around by yourself. The armory is most impressive. The Palace rooms are completely over the top. The Palace was built in the 18th and 19th centuries. The grounds are beautiful. Do not take flash photography.
