The Spanish capital is infused with history. A city that has seen many different rulers, it wasn’t until 1561 that it was chosen by Philip II as the official capital of Spain. Today, its barrios are woven through with atmospheric streets lined with boutique shops and 19th-century apartments, while the Royal Armory dates back to the 16th century.

Madrid is famed for its art galleries, including the colonnaded Museo del Prado, the nearby Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza and the Museo Reina Sofía. Post-culture fix, watch the busy city drift past from one of the cafés in the airy Plaza Mayor, lined with colourful frescoes (a leftover from the city’s title as 1992 European Capital of Culture) and crowned with Herrerian spires.

Madrid’s lively foodie scene has its heart in Mercado de San Miguel, where rich and wholesome pork stews simmer and traditional tapas are within easy reach.
