You'll find airfare deals on cheap flights to Madrid at FlyForLess. Madrid is a tremendously historic and monumental city. Its monuments and sights include the Royal Palace, the Plaza Mayor, the Almudena Cathedral, Puerta del Sol and Madrid's many historic buildings and squares which make this one of Europe's most attractive cities for sight-seeing.
Madrid is an excellent combination of modern infrastructure and historic squares, churches, monuments and city gates. It has several emblematic landmarks such as the Palacio Real, which is the largest Royal Palace in Western Europe, the Plaza Mayor, a spectacular Castilian square which dates back to the 16th century, the Puerta del Sol, Madrid and Spain's spiritual heart, since from this square all points on Spain's 6 major national roads are measured, and the Gran Vía, one of Madrid's main shopping streets connecting the spacious Plaza de España square with the magnificent old city gate of Puerta de Alcalá.
Madrid's art museums are second to none, with the Museo del Prado being internationally recognised as one of the world's premier galleries, particularly for European art.
