Description
If you’re looking for a city where you can **shop till you drop, eat tapas till you pop**, appreciate the world’s finest paintings and paint the town red, look no further. Madrid is for you. This **cosmopolitan capital** begs for exploration.
\
And there is so much to explore in Madrid. Where to start? Well, if you’re an avid art ogler or a keen culture vulture, you’ll be in heaven. This cultural city is home to the **famous Golden Triangle of Art**: the Prado Museum, the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía and the Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum.
\
Hop off at our stop right next to the **outstanding Prado**, Madrid’s answer to the Louvre. Spain’s best-known museum houses a staggering collection of **Spanish and international masterpieces**, from Rubens to Rembrandt and Goya to El Greco.
\
The Reina Sofia is **one of the world’s largest modern art museums**, offers an impressive array of 20th-century masterpieces. And **the unique Thyssen** has an enormous, eclectic mix of European art. These three gems are all within easy walking distance of one another, and our trusty bus will drop you right next to them!
\
Once you’ve got your fill of art, why not hop off at the **incredible Palacio Real**? It’s the largest palace in Europe and the official Madrid residence of the Spanish Familia Real. If it’s good enough for the royals, it’s good enough for us! The palace is **a whopping 135,000 m2**, with 870 windows, 240 balconies, 44 staircases and over 3,400 lavishly furnished rooms. Hop off right next to this behemoth to explore.
\
There really is a lot to do in Madrid, isn’t there? Hop off at Plaza Mayor, Spain’s biggest square, for a stroll and a squid roll. Take a well-deserved break at **El Retiro, Madrid’s gorgeous urban park**. Shopping and tasty tapas await at Madrid’s legendary thoroughfare, Gran Vía. And our **iconic double-decker buses** will drop you off and pick you up near all Madrid’s top sights.
\
Would you believe there’s even an Egyptian temple? Visit the **astonishing Templo de Debod**, donated by the Egyptian government in the 2nd century. As you sit on our top deck, enjoying the sights, you’ll learn all about the history of these top attractions from our **fascinating audioguide**.
