10 Things to do in Financial District (Paseo Castellana) That You Shouldn't Miss
So many of Madrid’s buildings look like castles, you’ll think you’ve stumbled into a fairytale. Even City Hall is astounding, with its white pinnacles and neo-Gothic features. A self-guided architecture tour can begin by the great bear statue in the central Puerta del Sol. Wander by the fanciful Royal Palace before absorbing the natural beauty of Retiro Park, then visit one of the city’s many museums. You could happily cap off each day by nibbling on forkfuls of paella while sipping Spanish rioja.

Having done the nou camp tour, which was excellent, this tour was high on my list to do whilst in Madrid. Bought tickets on line from the Real Madrid web site, cheaper than other sites. The ground is right next to the metro, so easy to find. This is not a guided tour and audio tour is extra. You are directed up a series of outside elevators, getting a view of Madrid, until you reach the top and go through to a fantastic view of the pitch/stadium from up high. Takes your breath away. The tour continues going through various rooms , history of the club, tribute to special players, a trophy room that goes on for ever, golden boot winners including Michael Owen, a special European Champions trophy room, changing rooms, conference room and others. You then walk around the stands until you reach pitch side with the dug outs..amazing views. All this is done at your own pace. Only downside is that you have no option but to queue a couple of times to have your picture taken, one with the champions league trophy, but luckily for us the tour wasn't busy so little waiting.

I went to the gaming exhibition at Fundacion Canal and was blown away by the quality and size of the expo. I could have spent all day there, but kept it to 3 hours. For only 9 euros, I got a complete history of video games from the 1970s to the present with every single game available to play. I had a fantastic time. This location can't be missed and, though it's not in the city centre, is an easy trip by metro to Plaza de Castilla on the blue line.

This is a modern square in the northern part of Castellana. It has two amazing inclined skyscrapers at the left and right side. Also, there is an obelisk by the famous Spanish architect, Calatrava. The views are spectacular!
