Top tips for Sydney to Madrid
Explore Parque del Buen Retiro
While Sydney is famed for its magnificent harbour and golden coastline, Madrid is located right at the centre of Spain. Here, locals head to the city’s parks for a touch of nature. During your trip be sure to visit Parque del Buen Retiro, a stunning oasis in the heart of the city. After dark, the city’s barrios come alive with vibrant nightlife.
Roam the Royal Palace of Madrid
The Royal Palace of Madrid is the official home of the Spanish royals, although it’s mainly used for state ceremonies with the royal family living in the more modest Palace of Zarzuela on the outskirts of the city. The Royal Palace is open to the public and contains just short of 3,500 rooms. Gaze at walls lined with paintings by famous Spanish artists and tour rooms filled with sumptuous furnishings.
