- Santiago Bernabeu Stadium - Named after the renowned footballer and Real Madrid’s legendary president Santiago Bernabéu (1895–1978), this stadium is one of the most iconic football venues globally. It has hosted the European Cup/UEFA Champions League finals four times: in 1957, 1969, 1980, and 2010. Additionally, it hosted the second leg of the 2018 Copa Libertadores Finals, making it the only stadium to host both the UEFA Champions League and Copa Libertadores finals.
- Templo de Debod - Originally constructed in the early 2nd century BC, 15 km (9.3 mi) south of Aswan, Egypt, the temple was gifted to Spain by the Egyptian government in 1968 as a token of appreciation for their role in the International Campaign to Save the Monuments of Nubia. It was dismantled, transported, and reconstructed in the Parque de la Montaña between 1970 and 1972. It is one of the few ancient Egyptian architectural works relocated outside Egypt and the only one of its kind in Spain.
- Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas - Designed by architect José Espeliú in the Neo-Mudéjar (Moorish) style with ceramic inlays, this bullring features seating arranged in ten “tendidos.” Ticket prices vary based on proximity to the arena and whether the seats are in the sun or shade, with shaded seats being more expensive. The bullfighting season runs from March to October, with daily events during the San Isidro Fiesta and on Sundays or holidays throughout the season. Bullfights commence at 6 or 7 pm and last for two to three hours.
- Ermita De San Antonio De La Florida - This chapel was constructed on the site of two earlier chapels from the 1730s, located on a farm known as La Florida. The current structure was built by Felipe Fontana between 1792 and 1798, commissioned by King Carlos IV, who also ordered the frescoes by Goya and his assistant Asensio Juliá.
- La Latina - La Latina is a historic neighborhood in the Centro district of downtown Madrid, Spain. It occupies the site of the oldest area in Madrid, the Islamic citadel within the city walls, characterized by narrow streets and large squares. It is almost entirely within the Palacio district in Centro. The neighborhood was named after the old hospital founded in 1499 by Beatriz Galindo “La Latina.”
- Royal Palace of Madrid - Owned by the Spanish state and managed by the Patrimonio Nacional (National Heritage), a public agency under the Ministry of the Presidency, the palace is located on Calle de Bailén (“Bailén Street”) in the western part of downtown Madrid, east of the Manzanares River, and accessible from the Ópera metro station. King Felipe VI and the royal family reside in the Palace of Zarzuela in El Pardo, not in the Royal Palace.
- Parque del Retiro - The Retiro Park (Spanish: Parque del Buen Retiro, literally “Good Retreat Park”), also known as Buen Retiro Park or simply El Retiro, is one of Madrid’s largest city parks. It was part of the Spanish monarchy until 1868, when it became a public park following the Glorious Revolution. Located at the edge of the city center, near the Puerta de Alcalá and the Museo del Prado, it spans 1.4 km2 (350 acres) and features gardens, monuments, galleries, an artificial lake, and event venues. In 2021, Buen Retiro Park was included in a combined UNESCO World Heritage Site with Paseo del Prado.
- Barrio de Salamanca - At the start of the 19th century, Madrid’s population was about 220,000, growing to 300,000 by the late 1850s. However, the city was still confined within the defensive wall built in 1625 by King Philip IV of Spain, hindering its expansion. In 1857, the government authorized the then Minister of Public Works and Transportation, Claudio Moyano, to expand the city (Plan Castro). Queen Isabella II approved this in 1860, leading to the demolition of the defensive walls and the construction of the first Madrilian ensanche. The area was named after Don José de Salamanca y Mayol, 1st Marquess of Salamanca, due to his involvement in the project, and was fully urbanized by 1927.
- Mercado San Miguel - San Miguel Market is the most popular market in Madrid among tourists, located in the city center, within walking distance of Plaza Mayor. Unlike a traditional grocery market, it is a gourmet tapas market with over 30 vendors offering a wide variety of freshly prepared tapas, hams, olives, baked goods, and other foods. Beer, wine, and champagne are also available.
- Estacion de Atocha - Atocha station is a railway complex comprising the Madrid Atocha Cercanías and Madrid Puerta de Atocha stations of Spain’s national railways, along with a station of the Madrid underground called Atocha-RENFE. RENFE is the state-owned company operating freight and passenger trains since 1941.
- Prado National Museum - The collection includes approximately 8,200 drawings, 7,600 paintings, 4,800 prints, and 1,000 sculptures, along with numerous other artworks and historical documents. As of 2012, the museum displayed about 1,300 works in the main buildings, while around 3,100 works were on temporary loan to various museums and official institutions. The remaining pieces are in storage.
