The 10 Best Sights & Landmarks in Sol, Community of Madrid
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.

This beautiful oratory is tucked away in central Madrid a few odd foot steps from Gran Via. It is a treasure to find right there in the middle of the city, just off the main pedestrian way that connects Gran Via to Puerta de Sol. It's interior is cozy, welcoming and beautiful.

I find hard it is to describe the gorgeous architectural grandeur inside this private club, as I was guided through room after room each more stunning than the last... I thought to myself... so this is how the one percent lives. My hotels concierge was able to secure a private guided tour for me, so happy he did... the Casino de Madrid was designed and constructed I believe around 1900/1902 [I'm sure TA knows] as a private members only club and nearly one hundred and twenty years later, the splendor and beauty has been so meticulously cared for, it's as if no time has past. You know instantly upon arriving, seeing the grand staircase you've entered another realm [sorta speak] or a time-period long forgotten. I didn't ask my fabulous female guide about any other types of tours that where offered, but again, I'm certain TA has all that kind of information. However, I do know that this private tour was absolutely perfect for the way I travel and the places I explore... I highly recommend, if given an opportunity to tour the Casino de Madrid and glimpse at how the one percent lived a hundred and twenty-ish years ago... do it. Enjoy every adventure ahead of you and all the diversity our planet offers

One of my favourite parts of the city of Madrid, we were there during the day and also at night to eat. A beautiful square with tourist information, plenty of places to eat and drink although we recommend Gusto’s, a great ice cream shop on the same side as the tourist information, just beware of the Spanish flamenco dresses lined up and also any character such as Mickey Mouse offering to let you take a photo with them as they want money off you for this, and some can be a bit damanding. But other than this it’s great, the architecture is stunning plenty of people around and souvenir shops just out of this square. It’s a short walk from puerto del sol another favourite place. Well worth a trip here, we did it every night
