Spain Trip: Artful Madrid Days

Exploring Madrid, Los Roques, and Klosters Serneus brought a mix of stylish city feels, tropical tranquility, and alpine adventures 🚄🌊🏔️. Madrid totally stole the show thanks to its world-class museums, wow-factor hotels, and easy access to top spots (major pro tip for museum lovers!).

Top Spots to Visit:
Madrid: Fountain of Neptune (Pl. Canovas del Castillo, s/n) is a historic Instagram magnet and open 24/7 — great for evening strolls.
Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum (P.º del Prado, 8): Art lovers, this is your paradise! Check opening hours — weekends are best, and tickets cost €117. Tip: Staying at Mandarin Oriental Ritz makes museum trips a breeze since it's walkable!
Mandarin Oriental Ritz (Pl. de la Lealtad, 5): Recently renovated rooms, early check-in for jetlag recovery, and unbeatable central access to cultural sites — you’ll appreciate the luxury and views.
The Palace, a Luxury Collection Hotel (Plaza de las Cortes, 7): For 5-star service and Michelin-star eats, this place nails historical grandeur + modern excellence. Insider tip: Ask about renovations on arrival to avoid surprises.
Mercure Madrid Centro (C. de Lope de Vega, 49): Practical, clean, and comfy — special shout-out to super friendly staff. Room hygiene is top-notch, but check for fresh snacks and ask reception for any concerns.

Los Roques: Don't miss Madrisqui Beach if you love turquoise water and chill vibes — perfect spot for escaping city hustle!

Klosters Serneus: The Madrisa area serves up Swiss alpine goodness—great for hiking and outdoor fun.

Getting Around: Madrid’s metro is smart, cheap, and links you to every major site. In Los Roques and Klosters Serneus, taxis and local shuttles are easiest.

Food Recommendations: Madrid’s hotels like The Palace offer world-class cuisine (Michelin-star alert!), but don’t skip tapas bars near Prado for authentic bites.

Key Tips: Always check museum hours and renovations at luxury hotels. Book early for the best rooms and flexibility (early check-in rocks)!
