Royal Palace of Madrid

Actually, I missed the meeting point because I didn't pay attention to the ticket instructions; the meeting point wasn't at the palace entrance. I had to buy a separate ticket to get in, but it was definitely worth it. The palace is incredibly luxurious and magnificent, with stunning interiors. It was a truly worthwhile trip.

Prado Museum

The good thing about the Prado is that photography isn't allowed, so I can't upload photos of the exhibition halls, but I can upload a picture of the entrance. The classic Las Meninas is still very impressive, and there were many people looking at it. There are also many famous works by Goya, Velázquez, Bosch, and many others. Last time, I visited three floors and countless halls, but I couldn't see everything. It was a visual feast, and I can only marvel at how talented the older generation of European painters were! The paintings are so beautiful!

Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía

This museum visit was incredibly rewarding! I saw classic works by Picasso, Dali, and Miró, as well as masterpieces from many other outstanding artists. The exhibition areas were well-organized and the pace of the tour was comfortable. I managed to see a large number of famous paintings in a short amount of time. I highly recommend it to art lovers.

Santiago Bernabéu Stadium

When traveling to Spain, if you're passing through Madrid, a visit to Real Madrid's home stadium is a must. Buying tickets online and checking in directly via QR code is incredibly convenient. You can tour the stadium, see past trophies, and visit the fan shop, but the itinerary is a bit rushed; one hour is a bit tight.

Las Ventas Bullring

The Las Bantas bullring is a highly controversial traditional cultural landmark in Madrid, and we came specifically to watch a live bullfight. The neo-Mudéjar style red-brick amphitheater is magnificent, with a fantastic atmosphere. Learning about the complete process and history of bullfighting beforehand makes it easier to introduce this Spanish tradition to children objectively. The entire performance is highly ceremonial, with the bullfighters' elaborate costumes and elegant movements being extremely entertaining. However, the performance involves bloodshed, as the bull expends its energy before its demise. Watching it up close evoked complex emotions; we understood its role in carrying centuries of local culture, but also felt a pang of pity for the bull. We recommend that tourists traveling with children prepare themselves mentally beforehand and approach this controversial tradition with a rational perspective. A once-in-a-lifetime experience to feel a unique culture is sufficient; those who are sensitive to graphic violence should consider carefully before purchasing tickets.

Puerta del Sol

travelled to Madrid during summer weather was hot lots of people, tourists great view enjoyed their facility, safety, stays, and people. public transports are convenient. very very amazing trip. good thing about Madrid was their gelato were amazing, especially yogurt ice cream. during summer, nights were short. so you can enjoy endless view and endless evening. definitely great to travel during summer but price is a little bit off, but definite worth I would say. great overall!

Teatro Flamenco Madrid

It's a small theater production, but the dancers performed with great passion and energy. The price is reasonable; after all, the complimentary drink alone makes it worth half the price. I don't particularly like restaurants with performances; I prefer pure entertainment. It was almost full and worth seeing to experience local culture. Actually, I always try to learn about the local art in every country I visit, and this one is incredibly moving—the continuous applause speaks for itself.

Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum

With its rich and high-quality collection, it truly deserves its status as a world-class art museum. Spanning two floors, the second floor houses Impressionist and Modern art, while the third floor features Renaissance and Baroque art. It boasts not only Spanish paintings but also masterpieces by Dutch, French, and Italian artists. A thorough visit would take at least four to five hours. A must-see for art lovers.

Plaza de España (Madrid)

Spain, Plaza de España This square looks very simple, but with the lake and the pigeons, it is not so monotonous and looks very romantic. I sat here for an afternoon and felt very relaxed.

Tablao Flamenco Torres Bermejas

The performance was particularly wonderful, the passionate and unrestrained Flamenco performance made people intoxicated, but I was not sure whether I could take pictures, so I didn't take any. The dance with a very strong sense of rhythm gave people a very shocking visual experience.
