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.

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!

Kimberly Brown from Goway Travel made my trip to Australia & New Zealand a very memorable and remarkable experience. Every step and detail was fantastic and I will never forget the trip of a lifetime and it was because of the experience of Kimberly. If you are thinking about taking a trip to New Zealand and Australia, I highly recommend contacting Kimberly from Goway travel. David Klein

We had a blast and felt covered by GoAway throughout. This was our first time using a travel agent and Melissa and her team made it easy. I also appreciated the quick communication while on our trip. I only wish that we got our official itinerary and tickets sooner as we did not receive them until a week prior. But it is busy season so I understand. Courtney McCarthy

Elise created a fantastic trip to South Africa. Our experience could not have been better. Thank You so Much!!Dave McVay

Our trip to Japan was great. All our Goway arrangements preformed like clockwork and the guides for the tours were wonderful. Unfortunately, Mt. Fuji was in total fog but at least the lunch was very good and so was the drum solo, also our tour guide kept our spirits up ( she was the best). Taryn picked hotels that were very convenient to the meeting point of our tours which was much appreciated and organized all aspects of our trip perfectly. So from our airport pickup to our last day in Tokyo everything ran very smoothly so we have used Goway before and will certainly use it again and reccommend Goway to others.JW

We have used Goway Travel for previous trips and have been very happy with their excellent service. Our last trip to New Zealand and Australia was no exception. Our agent, Lori Mazzono, got tuned into the sort of trip we were hoping to have immediately. The various booking she provided were, without exception, exceptional and exactly what we envisioned, We really don't think we would have changed anything. tBruce Belshaw
