The Three Big Art Galleries — Paseo del Arte (Art Walk)

Madrid's three major art galleries are all within a short walk of each other, and together they make up a magnificent display illuminating the history of Western art. Each one of the galleries is so large that seeing everything in one day seems an impossible task. Luckily, your ticket is valid for a year, and you are free to dip in and out of each museum as much as you please.

Casa de Campo Park

Casa de Campo, the largest and most significant public park in Madrid, was once a Royal Forest and is now open to the public. The park boasts many attractions, including the Madrid Zoo, an amusement park, a Teleférico (cable car), and a lake. In addition, the park is a popular spot for outdoor activities such as working out and swimming during the summer. Escape the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy over 1.5 hectares of natural surroundings before returning to the vibrant city.
