Nestled beautifully on the banks of the Manzanares River, sits Spain's beautiful capital, Madrid. As the third largest city in Europe, this town is home to many international organisations yet still manages to retain its historical roots and architectural splendour. There are a wealth of fantastic attractions available to see and explore, making it the perfect place to visit for a city break.
By hiring a car in Madrid, you'll find travelling around the city a breeze, enabling you to make the most of everything the city has to offer as well as being able to explore the surrounding areas, such as Toledo, which is packed with memorable sights.
You'll get to see a great collection of landmarks in and around Madrid if you choose to hire a car. While in the city, visit the Royal Palace of Madrid and the Royal Theatre. Art lovers should head straight for The Golden Triangle of Art, where three of the most important art galleries in the world are situated.
Book lovers should visit the National Library of Spain. As one of the largest libraries in the world, it houses an astounding fifteen million books. The building is shared with the National Archaeological Museum, allowing you to take in two attractions at once.
