Overview
Take a trip to Madrid on your Spain Vacation
Madrid is the capital of Spain, standing as a dynamic metropolis and ranking as the third-largest city in the European Union, following London and Berlin. Madrid serves as Spain's political, economic, and cultural centre. You will quickly discover that Madrid retains the enchanting essence of its historic neighbourhoods and streets despite adopting modern infrastructure and a cosmopolitan outlook.
Madrid's iconic landmarks will captivate your imagination. The Royal Palace of Madrid exudes regal grandeur, while the Royal Theatre, boasting a meticulously restored 1850 Opera House, harmonizes tradition with the arts. The tranquil Buen Retiro Park offers a serene retreat from urban bustle and the 19th-century National Library building, founded in 1712, safeguards Spain's historical archives.
The Golden Triangle of Art is a triumvirate along the elegant Paseo del Prado, home to the renowned Prado Museum, the avant-garde Reina Sofía Museum, and the masterpieces of the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum. Madrid is home to two world-famous football (soccer) clubs, Real Madrid and Atletico de Madrid, a testament to the city's passion for the beautiful game.
Wander through Madrid's streets to the Museum of Outdoor Sculpture, an open-air museum adorned with a rich collection of sculptures. Located on the illustrious Paseo de la Castellana, the museum celebrates abstract works while classical monumental fountains grace the elegant Paseo del Prado.

What do the experts say?
If you are looking for the best time to visit, I would recommend Spring and early Fall. The weather wont be too hot and you will be avoiding the peak season where not only does the temperature rise, but there are lots of crowds.
Be wary that lunch and dinner are taken very late compared to North America! And don't expect to just pop into the shops around midday - most of them shut for a siesta break!
Most people do not know that most regions of Spain have their own language and traditions. This makes visiting Spain such a unique experience - everywhere you go is like visiting a completely new country

ExcellentBased on 5,321 ReviewsSuzzette and her team provided exceptional support throughout our year‑long planning process for our Bali group. Despite multiple changes, updates, and last‑minute cancellations, she remained organized, responsive, and solution‑focused. Asia Trails Indonesia delivered a seamless experience from arrival to departure, and our guides, Dayu and Adit, were outstanding; prompt, knowledgeable, and attentive to every detail. The coordination across multiple departure cities, the curated excursions, and the overall flow of the itinerary were executed beautifully. My group thoroughly enjoyed the trip and is already asking about returning. I highly recommend Suzzette as a group coordinator for her professionalism, dedication, and high‑quality service.Anchored Memories TravelMike K. graciously provided us with a perfect itinerary, offering us flexible high quality options for our trip. We added in a few complex details and he maneuvered around them creating smooth transitions. Planning an overseas 11 day trip can be overwhelming and Mike made everything feel easy. I highly recommend!Amy ChallgrenGoway staff was available to us throughout our entire trip to Costa Rica. Their involvement was seamless and surprisingly smooth between them and all of our hotels and tours. We have been totally impressed with their involvement with our travel agent and their complete resolution of the only problem we had during the 2 different international trips that we have taken.Diana McCroryThank you to Goway for a great and enjoyable 7 day tour in China, for our Canadian group of 14! Very special thanks to the local guides in Shanghai, Xi’an and Beijing ( Richard, Richard and James) who were second to none! Each was a knowledgeable ambassador for their home city, working hard to ensure our enjoyment and comfort, and to showcase the beauty of each area and its current and historical sites. They very kindly and patiently assisted everyone, and especially accommodated 2 of our group who encountered unexpected wellness challenges. The local bus drivers for our group were experts too, keeping us on time and safe on the roads and highways. Hotels were beautiful, welcoming, well located and appointed, quiet, comfortable and clean. Additional travel arrangements by air and high speed train went off without a hitch. KATHLEEN LLOYDThis was the first time we used Goway Travel and Brooke Theron was absolutely the best to deal with. Our safari in Africa was fabulous and we were able to have all four questions answered before we left. It was a trip to remember and we would recommend both Brooke and Goway to other who are looking for a great experience. Thanks Brooke and Goway.Joyce RobinsonWe decided to go to France for 3 weeks in September and knew we needed help planning the trip (we made this decision in August so a very short time frame. We had traveled with Goway a few years ago and were hoping they could help. Our specialist, Farnaz Bagheri, was fantastic, she listened to what we wanted to do and where we wanted to go. She literally arranged everything with her French partners. The guides and drivers were wonderful the accommodations were excellent. Communication was easy from the first discussion to the time we got home. Farnaz planned for us an exceptional trip in a very short time frame. Promise next trip we will contact Goway much earlier. Thanks againSue BlakeOur experience was amazing! The booking process went great. We just had to pack our clothes and everything else was taken care of thanks to Goway Travel… Lori Mezzomo!!!
