M47***45Definitely worth visiting. One of the three great royal palaces in Europe, incredibly beautiful and breathtaking.
Buying tickets in advance saves you a lot of queuing and waiting time. Ctrip's service and after-sales support are excellent.Madrid

咖啡香飘过The museum is located in an old building and has quite a lot of exhibits, but it can be a bit disorienting to explore. It's worth checking out if you like painting. Photography is not allowed inside. Retiro Park is nearby, so you can also visit it.Madrid

康康yuThe dream Bernabeu is great. I can enter half an hour early. There are paid photos. It's a pity that there is no Modric. The last store is big and you can get a tax refund. It's worth it.Madrid

Annie长翅膀的喵On May 30, 2025, we spent a thrilling and exciting night at the Las Ventas bullring in Madrid. Watching Marco Pe`rez a talented teenager born in 2007 1V6 bullfighting, this bullfighting known as the "old bull" is called a bullfighting that happens in 20 years, I have the opportunity to watch it on the spot (after learning the news this morning, through friends in Madrid, find a way to get the ticket, There is also a doctor who reads Spanish bullfighting art in Madrid, a Beijing brother's live guide and reconciliation) and admired a wonderful, ups and downs, twenty-year-old bullfighting, the whole venue is full, and also appreciates the Spaniard's fever, so lucky, Very happy and excited to have such an experience 🤩😎Madrid

Although it was only an hour, I could still feel the passion of the dancers, every light and heavy step~ and the performances of the guitarists and singers were very good! The atmosphere was also very good, and I still have to experience it if I have the chance~ The front row seats with drinks are really great~Madrid

大写的旅游日记忆The museum is a private collection of German industrialists and collectors, and was later sold to the Spanish government and opened to the public. After visiting the Prado and Sofia Queen Art Center, I came here again and felt that the collector's extraordinary vision and strength were too powerful. Their collections span not only centuries, but also have a wide range of styles and artists involved. Just like super rich investors, investors have invested in each track, and they have included artworks of various periods and styles. For visitors, the museum is extremely diverse in style, with a strong lineup of painters and artworks of different eras and genres. Coming here is equivalent to a one-off visit to dozens of galleries, from ancient art, baroque, rococo, to 19th century and modern art.Madrid

咕噜眯糗Stay near the Majorelle Gardens. After visiting several gardens and museums, walk from this pleasant and exquisite area to several attractions on the Djemaa El Fna Square. Visit the city's large bazaar in the old town of Marrakech. There are all kinds of people, streets, and horse-drawn carriages. After sunset, the market in the square becomes a group of food stalls. You can experience it and eat barbecue. The Moroccan breakfast is colorful and you can try it.Madrid

旅の径The Puerta del Sol was originally built on the wall of Madrid in the 15th century, facing east. The gate tower was decorated with a rising sun pattern, hence the name; in the continuous expansion of the city, the gate was demolished in 1570.
The square that was built retained the name of "Puerta del Sol" and gradually became the center of the city.
From a bird's eye view, with the 12,000 square meters of semicircular square as the center, 10 streets and alleys spread out radially, like the rising sun, shining brightly.
In the center of the square, the oval fountains on the east and west sides are surrounded by the statue of Carlos III sitting in the center. This king who presided over the construction of a large number of Madrid's infrastructure and was highly respected by the people of Madrid, rode a tall horse, smiled and watched the square and the city's changes.
On the south side is the most classic building in the square-the Security Bureau Building. The building was built between 1766 and 1768 (the bell tower was added in 1867). Its simple and bright style and red and white facade convey the mood of neoclassical palace-style architecture.
The building was originally the central post office of Madrid, and later the headquarters of the Ministry of National Security during the Franco period. It is now the office building of the Madrid government.
For a long time, the Spanish people loved the big clock on the roof of the Security Bureau building, regarded the time of this big clock as the Spanish standard time, and regarded it as an honor to come here to check the clock. To this day, every time when the old year is about to end and the new year is about to begin, people still gather in the square to listen to the ringing of the New Year's bell in the building.
On the north side, four slightly arc-shaped buildings are lined up along the way, with fashionable facades and crystal white; on the roof in the middle is a "TIO PEPE" (Tio Pepe, the world's number one brand of sherry wine) advertisement, which is exaggerated and elegant, and cute.
On the ground of the street in front of the main entrance of the Security Bureau building, there is a sign of the zero kilometer of the highway. The semicircular sign is inlaid with a map of Spain and the Iberian Peninsula and the words "0 km, starting point of the road". The mileage of Spanish roads is calculated from this point, and the street numbers in Madrid are compiled from this point.
If you don't leave a photo, it's like your shoes have never set foot in Madrid.Madrid

阿兰娜Very beautiful and grand square. I went there three times at different times, at night, during the day, and at sunset. Each has its own beautiful scenery. Photos taken from different angles are very beautiful. It's a free attraction!
