Real Madrid C.F.: This plaza is the heart of Madrid and one of the busiest places in the city - a hub for the local transit system, a favorite meeting spot for locals, street performers, and all the tourists.
Otel.com: If you want to see some of the most beautiful buildings in Madrid, go to this grand square. The ones you shouldn't miss are the Fountain and the historical Banco de Espana.
Kate Turner: Best views over Madrid from rooftop terrace bar La Azotea. Costs €3 to go up (take the lift). At €4 for a glass of wine it's more expensive than average city prices. Chilled atmosphere.
Bibi: Go to top floor to enjoy varieties of foods (Spanish, Mexican, pizza, dim sum) drinks and desserts with great views of Madrid. Come on a sunny day.
Jordan Taylor: Absolutely stunning. Come here earlier than sunset (since the interior of the temple closes before dark), watch the sunset from the hill, and then wait for the temple lights to come on - gorgeous!

Nina Ottaviano: The world's oldest restaurant has outlasted all other for a reason. The suckling pig and the lamb are amazing. Check out the wine cellar in the basement.

Tapas Restaurant · Ríos Rosas · 235 tips and reviews
Masa Jencic: You have to try the potito, veal cheeks and taco with duck. The place itself is fun, modern and hip, as well as the dishes-they take a fun turn on traditional tapas.
Jozefien Uytterhoeven: Without any doubt the hippest place in Madrid. The dishes are inventive but not too much, the prices are reasonable for the food you get! Don't forget to make a reservation!
