Madrid - City Centre
Madrid and love at first sight? The sort of vibes a tourist gets
from Madrid at first are usually rather those of a dreary and bland
variety. This is especially the case if your last stop was Barcelona
with its beaches and palm trees. When you arrive in Madrid the first
thing you should do is to go for a bus tour to get an overview this
massive city. Take your time and don’t run off from museum to museum
trying to see everything on one day. Madrid is Spain’s capital and
a city that shows its major assets under the surface when taking
a look closer and not at first sight. The rather hectic Plaza “Puerto
del Sol” - which is the main traffic junction of Madrid and
is the citiy's landmark - marks the very centre of the city: A bear,
licking a strawberry tree. The lively shopping street Gran Via,
the remarkable “Placio Real” (King’s Palace), the 11 kilometre
long avenue Paseos; All these impressive attractions of
Madrid lie in the city centre. You can chill out in the Parco
Retiro and have a Café at the Plaza Mayor.
