Breakfast: Hotel.
Museo del Prado: Situated on Paseo del Prado, Museo del Prado is widely regarded as one of the world’s best art museums. It houses over two and a half thousand works of art dating from the 1400’s right up to the 1800’s. While a lot of the emphasis does lie with the great Spanish artists such as El Greco, Goya and Velazques, you will also have the opportunity to see hundreds of works by Flemish and Italian artists including Botticelli, Mantegna, Bosch, Rembrandt and Ruebens. A visit to this museum is a highly enjoyable way to begin the day.
Lunch: Restaurant near Real Jardin Botanico.
Real Jardin Botanico: Whether of not you decide to spend a full day there is up to yourself. If looking at painting after painting becomes a little too tiresome for you, just across the street from the museum is Real Jardin Botanico, one of the nicest of the city centre parks. There are over 100 species of trees in the park and over 3,000 types of plant. A ‘must do’ for nature lovers.
Dinner: That evening visit the area around the Gran Via. Here you will find an abundance of bars and nightclubs. It’s so popular and busy at night time that you are bound to see traffic jams at around 4am! Going from Cibeles Square to Plaza de Espana, this huge street can be a tad tacky at some points but is worth a look.
