Easy day trips from Madrid recommended by locals

Talking about traveling to Spain Most people would recommend Barcelona over Madrid. I spent 5 days in both cities. I have to say, Madrid is really underestimated😭 Fun, shopping and beautiful · When traveling to Madrid, don't do the whole city walk🚶‍➡️ Each scenic spot is not small in itself, and you have to walk a lot. Bus 🚌➕🚶‍➡️Walking✅ is the right way to explore Madrid Easy and not tiring, recommended by locals👍🏻 Very suitable for friends who come to Madrid for the first time · 🚶One-day tour route Prado Museum→Retiro Park→Puerta de Alcalá→Columbus Square→Gran Via→Plaza de España→Temple of Debod→Royal Palace of Madrid→Plaza Mayor · 1️⃣ Prado Museum One of the four largest art museums in the world, with works by Michelangelo and Raphael · 2️⃣ Retiro Park The locals' favorite park, the scenery is picturesque, the rose garden is very romantic 🌹The yellow leaves in autumn are very beautiful · 3️⃣ Puerta de Alcalá The well-preserved century-old city gate is just outside the Retiro side. · 4️⃣ Columbus Square There is a Columbus sculpture and a famous 🛍️ store not far away · 5️⃣Gran Via In the heart of Madrid, there is a street for eating, drinking, playing and shopping, similar to Nanjing East Road in Shanghai · 6️⃣ Plaza de España There stands the Cervantes Monument, and across from it is the 360° sky bar🍻, which overlooks the entire Madrid landscape. · 7️⃣ Temple of Debod An Egyptian temple from the 2nd century AD, brought intact from Egypt to Spain · 8️⃣ Royal Palace of Madrid Exquisite architecture and interior decoration, the Spanish royal family's heyday of luxury · 9️⃣ Plaza Mayor The Main Square, the first square built when Madrid was first built · ⚠️Warm Tips These attractions are connected in a small loop.
