The best things to do in Madrid



The Spanish capital is huge in every way, but if you're unsure of what to do in Madrid, don't worry...you can use minube to see tips straight from thousands of real locals!
Gran Via, the city's main downtown avenue, is a sight to behold! It should be savored at least twice: once from the street and once from above at one of the nearby roof terraces. It's one of best attractions in Madrid and will really leaves you speechless. The Temple of Debod is also one of the most essential places to visit in Madrid.

You can check out all the best
Madrid attractions in one glance from the rooftop of the Circulo de Bellas Artes, or take a stroll in the precious Sabatini Gardens. Looking for more unusual things to see in Madrid? Classic off-beat Madrid activities include a boat ride on the lake of Retiro Park and a visit to the Palacio de Linares, a beautiful palace with a chilling history.

There is also plenty of stuff to do in Madrid that doesn't involve historic monuments. One of the best things to do in Madrid is going out for tapas in Plaza Mayor or having a coffee in a cafe in the Salamanca neighborhood. Or, if your idea is to check out Madrid at night, there are Joy Eslava, the Kapital Theatre, the neighborhood of Malasaña.

Another classic is the Triange of Art, a group of museums located along the Paseo del Prado with some of the most important works in history: Rubens, Bosch, Velzquez, Goya, Dürer, Caravaggio and Dali.
