Have breakfast on the Plaza de Oriente, with views of the Palacio Real. Spend a few hours seeing the highlights at one of the big three museums – the Goyas at the Prado, Picasso’s Guernica at the Reina Sofía or the Italian Primitives at the Thyssen. Trawl around the old-fashioned tapas bars in the Plaza Santa Ana for lunch, followed by a siesta under the trees in the Parque del Retiro. Take a look at some of the new galleries springing up in trendy Chueca or go shopping at its quirky fashion boutiques and take a break in a laid-back café like La Ida. Soak up the atmosphere at a traditional restaurant like Viva Madrid followed by flamenco at Casa Patas. Alternatively, check out the Madrid club scene: celebrity-spot at Suite, one of the hot, new designer restaurant-bar-clubs, or hop onto a podium at Ohm. Finish up with some traditional churros con chocolate at the Chocolatería San Ginés.
