An extraordinary but amazing sight transported all the way from Egypt. The views from the top are fab too.

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.

A radio tower isn't the most glamorous building you could hope to visit but the views from nearly 100m up are pretty spectacular. You can see as far as the countryside around the city and there are even floor markings to tell you what to look for (a little hard to read).

Also known as the space needle, the Faro de Madrid is an enormous tower on the outskirts of Madrid from which you can get some fantastic views over the city. It costs only about 1 euro to go up the tower and its well worth it. Take the number three metro to Monocloa from where you'll be able to see the tower.
