Destination Spain welcomes you to Madrid, capital city of Spain, lively and very active city, with very large art collections and the magnificence of history reflected in its palaces and large avenues. We think the best way to get acquainted with Madrid is a walking tour through the Old District, also called the Austrias and Borbons (the dynasties who built it).
Prado Museum is, together with Louvre (Paris), Vatican (Rome), Uffizi (Florence), British Museum (London) and Hermitage (St. Petersburg) the “must see” museums in Europe. The origins of this museum is the collectionist interest of the ruling dinasties along the centuries. It reflects the personal taste of the Spanish Kings in a collection that is specially rich in European masterpieces from the 16th to the 19th centuries. Its main attraction is the wide presence of Velázquez, Goya, Tiziano and Rubens, with the best collections that exist world-wide.
