Madrid is brimming with diverse culture, unique bars, art in a wide variety of forms and of course, scrumptious food that has set the city apart as one of the best to visit while in Spain.
While others are lucky enough to take a week or a month off to bask in the city, some are only given 24 hours to travel such a rich and abundant place. To maximize your the schedule and make sure you're able to make the most of every minute in Madrid.
1. Don't look too hard and long for an espresso or tortilla
Here's a fact: Just about any local restaurant or tapas bar you'll ever walk into in Madrid all offer the best and tastiest tortilla española and espresso around. Try not to waste too much time looking for the ultimate place that serves them. Walk into one and swiftly order because this pair is a good meal to keep a traveler on the go.
2. Manage your time well in El Centro.
El Centro is the center of the city's major tourist attractions like Plaza de Oriente and Plaza Mayor. The key here is to not get stuck in one place too long that there's going to be little time left to explore the other spots like Palacio Real, which is open to the public.
3. Check out Caixaforum.
Head to Paseo del Prado and check out Caixaforum, which is a breathtaking building that looks like a warehouse with a vertical garden to top everything off. The best part is travelers can enjoy and witness free performances and exhibits any culture vulture would appreciate.
4. Take a quick peak into the Museo Reina Sofía.
A stroll inside this iconic museum is a gateway to some of art's most prestigious works like that of Picasso's Guernica and other surreal, dada and cubism pieces.
5. Cap the night off at Tempo Club.
Madrid nightlife can be expensive if tourists aren't aware of the places to be in to enjoy good music without burning too deep a hole in the pocket. Instead of heading to clubs with long lines and pricey cover charges and bouncers all over the place, head over to Tempo Club, which brings more of a laid back atmosphere.
