Wondering what to see in Madrid? This guide fills you in on all the great views you can enjoy in the city!<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

There’s no Eiffel Tower, no Statue of Liberty, no Arab palace or Catholic church-cum-mosque. Sounds pretty boring, right? Wrong! The best thing about Madrid is that you don’t have a long checklist of sights and monuments to see. Not that there isn’t plenty to see\/do in Spain’s capital city– there is enough going on here to last you weeks, months or even years! But you won’t feel that pressure upon your return, as people judge you<\/del> ask you, “Didn’t you see X?” or “What a shame– I can’t believe you didn’t climb Y!”.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Yet despite the fact that Madrid doesn’t have some of these instantly recognizable views, our city is still pretty amazing\u00a0and each year famous photographers<\/a> visit to photograph its many corners.\u00a0Here are five of our favorite views in Madrid, though there are many more so you’ll have to stick around for our part two!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

1. Gran V\u00eda from Above<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Although Madrid has its lovely Calle Mayor (Main Street), the action really happens along the busy Gran V\u00eda. To take in the view we recommend visiting the\u00a0top floor of the Callao El Corte Ingl\u00e9s<\/a>, where the Gourmet Experience\u00a0offers an unobstructed look at all\u00a0of the action. As a bonus, it’s free<\/a>!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
