Madrid Hotels
Located on a high plateau in the centre of Spain, Madrid is more a business centre than a centre for stunning architecture like Barcelona. However, once you get past the urban sprawl you will find a city centre that won't fail to entertain you. There are scatterings of 18th century squares and medieval buildings. But Madrid's main attraction has to be the Prado Museum.
Of the many wonderful museums to choose from in Madrid the Prado is the city's most prestigious. Its main works include those of Bosch, Goya and El Greco. Other worthwhile collections are housed at the Reina Sofia museum, which is home to Picasso's Guernica. Last but not least is the Royal Palace containing over 2,000 rooms full of books, weapons, musical scores and opulent decorations dating back hundreds of years. more Madrid Guide...
