Madrid, Spain

Trip Details

  • Total time: 3 days
  • Part of a 2 week trip to Morocco and Spain

Itinerary

  • Day 1: explore the city and relax in the park
  • Day 2: Free walking tour, Reina Sofia museum
  • Day 3: shopping on Gran Via (Primark), Sabatini Gardens

Hostel

  • Hostels Meeting PointGreat location but kind of in a touristy area so restaurants nearby were expensive

Eats

I really struggled to find anything to eat that wasn’t pork or shellfish. I spent most of my meals eating Spanish omelets (eggs and potatoes) and sangria.

To See

  • Casa de Campo
  • Madrid Cathedral (free to go in and look around)
  • Palace (we didn’t go in, just saw it from the outside)
  • Retiro park- Beautiful! Highly recommend
  • Plaza Mayor
  • Prado Museum
  • Reina Sofia Museum

Transportation

  • We walked everywhere (didn’t feel the need for the metro since we planned well)
  • We did use the metro/bus to get from the airport to the city which was cheap and easy but took a while

Notes

Honestly not one of my favorite cities that I have travelled to.
