Magical Madrid!

There’s no better place for a European city break than Madrid – one of our travel experts paid a visit and loved its relaxed vibes, food and beautiful sights.

Our travel advisor stayed in the Petit Palace Hotel Ópera, a centrally located hotel between the Puerto del Sol and Ópera areas:

‘It was a great location and Hotel was amazing. The choice of breakfast was brilliant.’

She also visited some of the major sights:

‘We chilled out in the Plaza Mayor, a popular square with plenty of restaurants to choose from. We had some sangria and watched the crowds.

My favourite part of Madrid was the Mercado de San Miguel a famous food market. You have lots of tapas stand while walking around with a glass of Vino in your hand.

Madrid is known for its parks. How about a romantic boat ride on the lake in El Retiro Park?

The Royal Palace is another beautiful attraction, and of course we visited Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, the home of Real Madrid!’
