Travel Guides
Madrid's vitality and character will soon have you hooked.
This is Spain's headiest city, where the revelling lasts long into the night and life is seized with the teeth and both hands. Strangers quickly become friends, passion blooms in an instant, and visitors are swiftly addicted to the city's charms.
Madrid may not have the Roman origins that get city historians hot and bothered, and it may be a comparative parvenu, selected from rural obscurity to become the capital only in the second half of the 16th century, but it oozes an ebullience that rarely fails to move.
Where to Stay
Madrid's top-end hotel styles range from state-of-the-art minimalist to old-world five-star palatial. Mid-range places often have endearingly kitsch touches intended to inject a bit of 'class' into the lobby or rooms, while budget hotels are often simple and situated in noisier parts of town.
