Things To Do In Madrid

The Spanish capital, Madrid, has a wonderful combination of history and art. Madrid is a big city with beautiful architecture. This youthful city is bustling all night long. Many restaurants and bars open at night and close in the morning. There are many patterns for tourists to see here. Let's take a look at some of the activities that will make your trip to Madrid a wonderful experience.
Walking around
A great way to get to know a city on the go is to take a walk and look around. You can also find some nice places to visit from the locals. It is also quite a budget friendly trip to Madrid.

Visit to the Royal Palace in Madrid

The palace’s construction began in 1735, and the palace was home to Spain’s monarchs until the 1930s. Although it is still the official residence of the Spanish royal family (it is one of the few official seats of a Head of State that is open to the public), it is only used for official state functions. The palace is the largest in Western Europe and one of the largest in the world and you can explore the historic buildings and grounds via both guided and self-guided tours. The palace has over 3,400 rooms and encompasses a massive 1.4 million square feet. The interior is lavishly decorated with massive vaulted ceilings, paintings, murals, and intricate wood carvings.

Eating at Marcado de San Miguel

There are many restaurants and food stalls. Basically at the end of the work there is a very good kind of mass gathering. There is a lot of delicious food available here.

Visit the Cathedral of Madrid

Opened in 1993, the Catedral de la Almudena, which took over one hundred years to complete, is the main cathedral in Madrid. The name Almudena is derived from the Arabic word al-madinat (meaning ‘the little city’ or ‘citadel’) and is the name Madrileños use to refer to the Virgin Mary. The Virgin of Almudena, Mary, is the patron saint of Madrid. Built in the Gothic Revival style, it is said to have been built on the site of a medieval mosque. It offers some beautiful views overlooking the city.

Visiting Plaza Mayor

Dating to the 15th century when King Felipe II’s court moved to Madrid after it became the new capital of Spain, this square is the heart of Madrid’s old quarter. It was built on the site of the former Plaza del Arrabal where the main market was. It’s a popular place for locals and tourists to gather, eat, and shop. It’s a bit overpriced these days, but it offers some nice people-watching, and there are also usually events and concerts during the summer.

Watching football matches

The city of Madrid is the home ground of the famous football club Real Madrid. Football is more valuable to the people here than anything else. Must watch one-match football at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. This will be one of the most beautiful experiences you have ever had in Madrid.

Tasting the food of Madrid

When visiting Madrid, be sure to taste the local cuisine here. Here you will find some very interesting and famous Spanish dishes. You must test them. You can get ideas about where and what to eat from a local guide.

Relax in El Retiro Park

About 350 acres, it is the main park in Madrid. Here you can relax for a while. There is also a lake where you can spend some nice time boating. Here you will find crystal palaces made entirely of glass. There are some sculptures, green gardens for picnics or walks.

Whether you're a foodie or a history buff or a nightlife tourist, you'll find everything in Madrid. This will not disappoint you at all. So come on a trip to Madrid and let your travel life be an enjoyable experience.

Cambodia Tour

Cambodia Tour Although Colombia and Cambodia are located on two continents, many people confuse the two countries. Cambodia is a small country in Asia. Between Vietnam and Thailand, the country is famous for a number of prehistoric sites. However, despite being an Asian country, the number of western tourists is a bit higher than that of Asians. Those who are planning to travel to Thailand or Singapore can visit this country with an extra day or two in hand. There will be no problem with visa here. Visas can be easily obtained at the Cambodian Embassy in Thailand or Singapore for a fee of BDT 4,200. Since there is no Cambodian embassy in Bangladesh, there is no way to get a visa in advance. However, the government of the country has recently provided on-arrival visa facility for Bangladeshi citizens, so Bangladeshi passport-holders will be able to get visa even if they go there. A 45-minute flight from Bangkok or a one-and-a-half hour flight from Singapore will cost 11,000-16,000 rupee...

Burj Al Arab - A global icon of Arabian luxury

Burj Al Arab - A global icon of Arabian luxury The Burj Al Arab's graceful silhouette – meant to evoke the sail of a dhow (a traditional wooden cargo vessel) – is to Dubai what the Eiffel Tower is to Paris. Completed in 1999, this iconic landmark hotel sits on an artificial island and comes with its own helipad and a fleet of chauffeur-driven Rolls Royce limousines. Beyond the striking lobby, with its gold-leaf opulence and attention-grabbing fountain, lie 202 suites with more trimmings than a Christmas turkey. The Burj Al Arab is worth visiting if only to gawk at an interior that’s every bit as garish as the exterior is gorgeous. The mood is set in the 590ft-high lobby, which is decorated in a red, blue and green color scheme and accented with pillars draped in gold leaf. The lobby atrium is tall enough to fit the Statue of Liberty within it. If you’re not checking into the Burj Al Arab, you need to make a reservation for cocktails, afternoon tea or a meal to get past lobby securi...
