Madrid Flights - A short guide. What Madrid doesn't offer up by way of spectacular architecture, it more than compensates for with its exuberant people, endless nightlife, and unforgettable art and culture. Third in population, after London and Berlin, this big city squeezed into a tight space is easy and fun to explore on foot. Just head downtown and you'll be mesmerized by the vast array of cultural and historical sites you'll find crammed between Parque del Retiro and the Royal Palace. Plaza des Cibeles is spectacular while Plaza de Castilla is unique and ultra modern. An art tour of Europe would be incomplete without a stop to Madrid's many museums. Find works by Picasso and Miro along with a host of fine art from all over the world. Museo Thyssen-Bornemiza, Museo del Prado and The Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia are sure to delight art fans as well as entice those who are new to the world of fine arts. Though controversial at times, Madrid still holds traditional bullfights in Spain's most impressive bullring, the Plaza de Toros. For a more conventional sporting event, spend an afternoon taking in a football game. Madrid's weather can go to extremes, sweltering in the summer while blistery cold in winter. Its location, high atop a plateau, not only makes it Europe's highest capital, but contributes to this rollercoaster climate.
