Madrid, an eclectic blend of art, culture and heritage
Art in Madrid extends far beyond its world-renowned museums. The Golden Triangle of Art — the Prado, the Reina Sofía and the Thyssen-Bornemisza — stands at the heart of the city's cultural identity. Still, creativity also permeates galleries, theatres, historic and contemporary spaces. Palaces, gardens and collections reflect centuries of monarchy and power, from the Royal Palace and the Royal Gallery of Collections.
Flamenco is another unmissable experience for any visitor. With its roots in the city's historic tablaos, this powerful art form has found a global stage in Madrid. Madrid lives and breathes sport. As the home of world-famous clubs such as Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid, the city's passion for football extends far beyond the stadiums, from the Santiago Bernabéu to the matchdays that bring the city together. In 2026, the city will be buzzing with the return of the Spanish Formula 1 Grand Prix, to be held in Madrid.
