Madrid can truly be described, not only as Spain's capital, but also one of its biggest cultural hubs. Visitors to Madrid will be treated to a relaxed atmosphere, full of exciting venues along with those steeped in history. It has loads of museums, including the Prado and Reina Sofia museums, along with world class tapas, parks, flea markets and of course, the Galaticos at Real Madrid football club.
Hiring a car from Madrid is a great way to get around this vast city, and explore further afield from this central Spanish location.
Live like a true Madridista and visit El Rastro to experience shopping like nowhere else. Madrid's famous flea market is a top attraction, where you can buy unique gifts that will impress those back home. Even though El Rastro dates back to medieval times, it remains modern throughout and there's nothing like haggling with the stall owners.
If you're a football fan then a trip to the Santiago Bernabeu is a must. Take a tour around the 75,000 seater stadium and get a feel for what it must feel like for the Galatico's to step out onto the pitch in front of thousands of adoring fans.
