– Riu Plaza España
Madrid is known for being the capital of Spain, but above all for its great cultural life. Museums, monuments, exhibitions and shows are the main reasons why many tourists visit the city. It is traditional to have your photo taken under the Puerta del Sol, stroll along Gran Vía while you enjoy a day’s shopping, get lost in the Barrio de las Letras, see the Palacio de Cristal, go to the Prado Museum, and so many other things! This is a city where you are guaranteed to be entertained.
Puerta del Sol, Madrid.
Do you know what else has become trendy in Madrid? In recent years there has been a surge in the number of rooftop terraces on important buildings that offer impressive panoramic views of the city. That is why, as well as going for dinner in the Malasaña neighbourhood, we recommend you go up to the terrace of the Riu Plaza España hotel, which offers a 360º view of the city. This hotel, located in Plaza España, hides many other attractions within its walls, making it another essential stop if you visit Madrid. Of course, it is the ideal place to stay during your visit to the Spanish capital.
