If you are taking a vacation to the Spanish capital, Madrid, there are at least 5 things you want to see.
The first one is the Prado Museum. This museum is one of the most renowned world wide and it holds paintings from artists like Goya, El Greco, Rembrandt, and Ribera.
The second site to see is a square, Puerta del Sol. The reason this is in the list is because it is one of the most popular Madrid squares. The locals meet here to go shopping, eating and enjoy live music events on nice evenings.
A third, Plaza Mayor (, is amazing due to its historical symbol, the statue of Philip III, and the cafés and restaurants around it.
The other two stops are additional museums. The Reina Sofia Museum and the Thyssen Museum hold an amazing collection of artifacts and are representative of the Spanish culture as much as the above must sees.
