Spain Trip: Art Lovers Paradise at Madrid Museums!

Exploring Madrid was seriously epic — this city blends high-energy sports, world-class art, and ancient treasures with cool hotels and even cooler vibes 🇪🇸✨. The proximity of everything makes sightseeing a breeze: my base was the 7 Islas Hotel (C. de Valverde, 14), which nails it on comfort, decor, and breakfast, plus you’re just steps from Gran Vía and metro stops for effortless access.

Top Spots to Visit in Madrid:
1. Santiago Bernabéu Stadium (Av. de Concha Espina, 1, Chamartín): The legendary home of Real Madrid — whether you’re catching a match or taking the Tour Bernabéu, go early in the day to avoid queues. Ticket: €310. Open Mon-Sat 09:00-19:00, Sun 09:30-18:30.
2. Prado Museum (Retiro, 28014): Absolutely unmissable for art lovers. Tip: Arrive when doors open (10:00) for a quieter experience. Entry: €126.
3. Temple of Debod (C. de Ferraz, 1): A slice of ancient Egypt in Madrid — perfect spot for sunset. Closed Mondays, open Tues-Sun 10:00-20:00.
4. Gran Vía & Shopping: The hotel’s location meant shopping, dining, and attractions were within walking distance. 7 Islas’ lobby bar was a great chill spot before heading out.

Essential Madrid Tips:
- Metro is safe and fast — get a multi-day pass for max convenience.
- Breakfast at 7 Islas is actually worth waking up for!
- Cash and cards accepted almost everywhere.
- Weather can flip-flop, so pack layers.
