A millennium city loaded with tons of history that gives it a unique character with an open and inviting personality. The continual influx of people from all corners of the globe, allows Madrid to reinvent and renovate herself daily. Most of the people that live in Madrid nowadays, were born far from her, but all of them think of Madrid as their adopted mother land.

Madrid is principally a cultural city featuring what is probably the most important group of museums and art collections in the world: The Prado, Thyssen-Bornemisza and Reina Sofia museums, forming what is called: the Walk of Art, the cultural core and heart of Madrid. There are more than 50 different museums in the city, among which you will find some small and charming ones.

Madrid is a very sunny city, the light and the shine of its blue sky, without a doubt, emanates joy and energy to its people who live their lives outside the limits of their own homes in the numerous outdoor terraces that inhabit the sidewalks, where the cañas (beer) and tapas, form part of their way of life. The good weather that enables the people of Madrid to live in the street also encourages one to know and discover the city on foot.

Madrid is best observed through your senses, it’s a place to be discovered on a stroll, where the joy of their people can be contagious at the counter of any bar; it´s a gift to the palate, but Madrid does not live on cañas and tapas alone. Here you can enjoy one of the best cuisines in the world not only in the 10 restaurants that have been given Michelin stars, but also in one of the endless neighborhood restaurants, from whose kitchens great quality homemade cooking at accessible prices for any budget are served.
