46 days in Madrid Itinerary

Madrid is known for its cultural and artistic heritage, lively nightlife, and a dynamic culinary scene.

Venture out of the city with trips to Segovia (Casa de los Picos, Calle Real de Segovia, &more), Toledo (Puerta de Bisagra, El Transito Synagogue and Sephardic Museum, &more) and Museo Lunar (in Fresnedillas de la Oliva). There's lots more to do: explore the world behind art at Prado National Museum, steep yourself in history at Plaza Mayor, test your team's savvy at popular escape rooms, and take in nature's colorful creations at Real Jardin Botanico.
