The 7 Best Museums in Arganzuela, 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 is a great example or reconverted urban warehouses for the purpose of cultural pastimes for mainstream population. A well located spot for decades used as the main slaughterhouse for the city next to the Manzanares river. Located along the pedestrian walkway and cycling route. This makes it a great day trip since it makes a nice trip to and from. There are a couple of nice restaurants and bars or you can eat along the route back. A good option if you have some free time¡

The Railway Museum is located in the old station of Delicias, which opened in 1880 by king Alfonso XII and Queen Maria Cristina, is one of the most significant examples of the "iron architecture" of the nineteenth century. This monumental building is the site of the Museum since 1984, and it includes one of the most complete collection in Europe of historical materials railways. It also provides an information service and conservation of documentary heritage through the Railway History Archive, Library and Documentation Centre.

I stayed near Atocha station during my three day business trip in Madrid. I looked on the map and saw this museum and knew I needed to go. It is not the most expansive railroad museum, but it was very captivating. The museum takes visitors from the early days of railways in Spain up to modern times. There is a nice restaurant in the middle that operates in a rail car, but I did not eat there. The neat caveat of this museum is that they have a small room dedicated to model railroading and engines/trains from different countries.
