Madrid - Top 10 travel destinations in Spain

Madrid is the Spanish capital known for its excellent art collections. If you are an art enthusiast, do visit The Golden Triangle. It is an area famous for their three art museums namely Museo Nacional Del Prado, Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia. Another great place to visit is the Palacio Royal, which is the official Royal Palace of Madrid and is only used for ceremonial purposes. Behind the palace is the Jardines del Campo del Moro (Palace Gardens). This park was established on the base of what was once an Arab fortress and if you are in the mood for a romantic and relaxing stroll, it is the ideal place to see. If on the other hand you are a shopaholic, make sure to stop at the El Rastro Flea Market. It is said that residents of Madrid made Sunday shopping at El Rastro a tradition. Madrid is also home to the Temple de Debod - a genuine temple from Egypt that was given to Spain. One other thing worth mentioning is that Madrid is known for its great nightlife which comes in a bundle with many great nightclubs.
