Madrid is Spain's version of "the city that never sleeps." Visit the Prado Museum, one of the largest art galleries in the world, or tour famous sites like Cervantes Monument and Plaza de Espana. Puerta del Sol, one of Madrid's liveliest areas, marks the site of the original entrance to the city and was once occupied by a gatehouse and a castle. Today, you'll find it bustling with shops and cafes. For an intense shopping experience, try El Rastro, Madrid's famous flea market. It's a great place to find a bargain.
