Day 1: Historic Madrid & Royal Charm
Check into InterContinental Madrid, an elegant retreat blending five‑star comfort with traditional Spanish luxury, or stay at Hotel Indigo Madrid – Gran Vía, perfectly positioned for theaters, nightlife, and iconic views.
Spend your morning in the historic Austrias district exploring the Royal Palace and Plaza de Oriente. Wander the narrow streets toward La Latina for a tapas lunch. In the afternoon, take in sweeping skyline views from the rooftop of Círculo de Bellas Artes. Enjoy dinner at Casa Lucio, famed for its huevos rotos.
Day 2: Art, Culture & Local Flavor
Begin the day in the literary quarter, Barrio de Las Letras, once home to Spain’s great writers. Enjoy a café breakfast before heading to the Prado Museum to immerse yourself in masterpieces. Lunch at El Viajero, a beloved La Latina spot with a rooftop terrace, then stroll through Chueca’s boutiques and design shops. For dinner and drinks, try Salmon Guru or the lush, botanical‑themed Botania near Gran Vía.
Day 3: Parks, Shopping & Sunset Scenes
Wake up with a stroll through El Retiro Park—visit the Crystal Palace and take a boat onto the lake. Continue to Salamanca, Madrid’s upscale shopping district, for elegant boutiques and cafés. After a leisurely lunch (and maybe a siesta), close out your trip with sunset cocktails at a rooftop like Picalagartos or Ginkgo Sky Bar.
