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.

Not only the best views of Madrid, but one of the homes of European culture. Born in 1880 the Fine Arts Circle took its current location in the center of Madrid in 1926. Since then, this non profit private entity has grown as one of the most important cultural centres in Europe thanks to its prolific schedule full of exhibitions, conferences, congresses, theater plays, music concerts, cinema projections... as well as its offer in academic trainings such as the school of arts, the workshops and SUR Escuela, one of the most impresive and innovative academic masters all over European Union. However, it is also one of the most visited buildings in Madrid due to its stunning panoramic view over its rooftop, in which you can enjoy the old town of Madrid as well as the hidden treasure in the horizon: the mountains in the north of the region. No matter what you are looking for, we have a plan for you every day of the year. Take a look on our website and visit us!
The rooftop bar at Circulo de Bellas Artes has a very comfortable style with unique seating spaces and incredible views of Madrid. The food and drinks were good but it can be a lengthy wait for somewhere to sit so it would be a good idea to reserve a seat, especially on one of the lovely lounge chairs! The only thing that disappointed us was the service. We tried our best to order in Spanish but they were very rude and unwilling to help. Luckily, we managed to find a server (Daniel) who single handedly turned our experience around. Although he was not fluent in English, he went out of his way to help us to order in Spanish and to learn the proper grammar and pronunciation. He even took the time to write a list of his favorite local things to do in Madrid and made us feel very welcome in a new country. Well worth the visit but make sure to ask for Daniel as your server and to reserve a table ahead of time!
