#timetotravel Juan Carlos I Park in Madrid is an expansive urban oasis that offers a refreshing escape from the city's hustle and bustle. As I entered this sprawling park, I was immediately captivated by its lush greenery, serene lakes, and the tranquil sounds of nature. The park's well-maintained pathways are perfect for leisurely walks, jogging, or cycling, and its vast open spaces invite picnics and relaxation. The beautiful Juan Carlos I Auditorium and the whimsical sculptures scattered throughout the park add a touch of artistic charm. What truly sets Juan Carlos I Park apart is its sense of serenity and vastness, providing a peaceful retreat within Madrid's urban sprawl. It's a place where families, nature enthusiasts, and art lovers can all find their own pockets of enjoyment. Juan Carlos I Park is a must-visit for anyone seeking tranquility, outdoor activities, and a taste of nature in the heart of Madrid. It's a hidden gem that showcases the harmony between urban and natural landscapes. #nature #park #Madrid

#timetotravel The Royal Palace of Madrid is an absolute marvel of European architecture and history. It stands as a testament to the grandeur of Spain's monarchy and the country's rich heritage. As you approach, the palace's sheer size and intricate façade leave you in awe. Inside, the opulence continues. Lavishly decorated rooms, ornate chandeliers, and exquisite art collections make you feel like you're stepping into a bygone era of royal extravagance. Highlights include the Royal Armory and the Throne Room, where Spanish monarchs were crowned. The palace's gardens and courtyards offer respite from the grandeur inside. The Sabatini Gardens and Campo del Moro provide beautiful green spaces to explore. Visiting the Royal Palace is like taking a journey through Spain's history, a place where monarchy and art intersect. It's a must-see when in Madrid, and its grandeur will leave you enchanted. #madrid #palace #royal #instatravel

THIS IS ART MUSEUM LOCATED IN MADRID,, SPAIN WITH VELAZQUEZ, GOYA AND EL GRECO MASTERPIECES IN VAST 12TH TO 19TH CENTURY COLLECTION. WE LOVE VISITING THE PRADO MUSEUM. EVERYTHING WAS ARRANGED IN AN ORDERLY MANNER. ADVISABLE TO PURCHASE TICKETS ONLINE FOR SEAMLESS EXPERIENCE. THE MUSEUM ITSELF IS WELL MAINTAINED AND WALKING AROUND THE TALL HALLS WAS GREAT. WE WERE MESMERISED BY THE GARDEN OF EARLY DELIGHTS. #passionpassport #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer #tripblazers #awesomepic #cafe #awesomepic #celebratewithtrip #couplestrip #2023travelwish #passionpassport

I booked a walking tour online which includes tickets to the Royal Palace of Madrid. I would so recommend doing so if you are going to Madrid because: No. 1 you have a tour guide that walks with you while explaining the history of Madrid & No. 2 you get to skip the queue for getting tickets and also entering the Royal Palace (very important because the palace is always really busy and the sun in Madrid is blazing hot 🥵) The palace is well maintained, very pretty and grand and definitely is worth a visit. I would say the palace quite the perfect example of east meet west where you can see some oriental inspired decorations and wallpapers. I personally do not have any prior knowledge about the Spanish royal family so it was nice to have a tour guide who explained everything to the finest details to us!! #timetotravel #境外遊 #madrid #royalpalace
