2Madrid, Spain – A Masterclass in Art and Energy

Madrid balances royal elegance with creative energy. The city’s Golden Triangle of Art — comprising the Prado, Reina Sofía, and Thyssen-Bornemisza museums — forms one of the most impressive art collections on earth. 

You can admire Velázquez’s Las Meninas, Goya’s Black Paintings, and Picasso’s Guernica all within walking distance. Beyond its galleries, Madrid’s flamenco shows, literary cafés, and lively plazas make it a city where culture never sleeps.
