Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2004 | After wandering the Plaza Mayor, do a little high-stakes gambling at one of Europe's biggest flea markets, ogle the lavish Royal Palace, ponder perplexing art at the Prado Museum, stare down a flamenco dancer in Sevilla, look deep into Picasso's greatest work - Guernica - at the Centro Reina Sofía, and munch on pigs' ears in a "tapa tango." #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #madrid

I am an American. I have travel to Europe many times. I have visited London, Paris, Rome, Lisbon, Lucerne, Prague, Munich, Barcelona, and Madrid. Madrid has a very especial place in my heart. Madrid, by far, is my favorite city in Europe! Salutations from, USA!

By 1800, Spain was still the world’s biggest empire. Its fall started in the 1810s with the Viceroyalties’ independences following the invasion of Spain by Napoleon in 1807 and the Spanish war of independence against the French, which then led to multiple civil wars and political turmoil in Spain all along the 19th century and ended up with the lost of the last territories following the 1898 USA-Spanish war when the USA took and colonised Spanish overseas territories in the Caribbean and the Pacific and the sell of the Pacific islands to Germany in 1899. And everything ended with the lost of the African territories, Equatorial Guinea and Spanish Sahara in the 1970s.

I also did the day trip to San Lorenzo El Escorial, and I would actually recommend getting an Airbnb there and spending a night. It's a nice change from the hecticness of Madrid, you don't have to rush at the monastery palace, and you'll even get a better price

This video is about 20 years old...pre Atocha attack, pre migrants on the streets. Madrid is beautiful easy to walk and navigate city....and the best capital in Europe because all the high points are so easily accessible and acheap subway,or cab ride. A good first day orientation is to get on a HopOn Hop Off bus tour top level near Plaza del Sol and ride the circuit so you,can orient yourself to the location of the,Palace, El Retiro, Atocha train station, and the Prado.....

I was deeply impressed by the Valley of the Fallen. Unique architecture and atmosphere that really speaks to you; it's defiant, bold, fusing history and modernity without surrendering to the latter. Not a lot of similar areas around Europe, unfortunately.

Not similar areas around Europe fortunately, it was dedicated to the fallen of the fascist army, and built by prisoners of war. In my opinion either they convert it to a proper war memorial, or if it is not possible they should blow it up.

@@jorgemoyano1728 The far-left POWs got away very lightly, compared to what would be done to them elsewhere for doing what they did. They would have instigated total genocidal anti-church terror like in Russia or in the failed German or Hungarian revolutions in the late 1910s/1920s.

Madrid is not London or Paris, but has a gem that no city has: the Prado Museum. Rick is right 20:30. This museum shows the highest concentration of masterpieces in the world, and exposes only a small part of its paintings

At the time, they were aged 17, 20, and 22. They loved the Prado as well but they loved to party also! In Madrid they could do both. Also, I recommend renting an apartment rather than staying at a hotel. Much more reasonably priced. Friendly Rentals is a good company and I recommend them.

David Tangman I'm not too far away from that young adult age haha! But I don't party much, mainly museums, castles and palaces. I agree that you can do both in Madrid. It's such a vibrant city filled with so much history and culture and I can't wait to go back! Thank you so much for the recommendation, my friend.
