Madrid, Spain

Today is yours to enjoy at leisure. Madrid is truly one of Europe's most inclusive, engaging, and entertaining cities, meaning there is something that appeals to every type of traveller. If the sun is shining (as it usually is), head for the lake at the center of Buen Retiro Park. Rent a rowboat to paddle lazily past the grand monuments, water features, and leafy forest that line the shores. There's an excellent crop of museums and galleries where you can while away the day, like the Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, Museo Lazaro Galdiano, and the National Archaeological Museum. If you'd prefer to be able to buy the beautiful things on display, join the crowds at Gran Via, look for luxury labels in Barrio de Salamanca, or find vintage treasures in the Chueca and Malasana districts. Foodies should make their way to the Mercado de San Miguel, a century-old cast-iron covered market filled with the finest produce from all over Spain. The market draws more than 10 million visitors a year to sample meat, cheese, fruit, vegetables, ice cream, and more. ...
