🇪🇸 Madrid in 2 Days: Art, Palaces & Tapas! 🎨🏰

Day 1: Art Immersion 🖼️ Prado Museum • Booked 12PM slot (late entry allowed!). • Must-sees: Velázquez’s Las Meninas + Habsburg portraits. • Tip: Grab a map—layout’s confusing! Souvenir shop = treasure trove. 🎭 Reina Sofía • Free entry after 6PM (short queue). • Star piece: Picasso’s anti-war Guernica. • Hidden perk: City views from elevators. Day 2: Royal & Local Vibes ⛪ Almudena Cathedral • Gothic-Baroque hybrid next to the palace. 🏰 Royal Palace • Opulent rooms + juicy history (audio guide worth it!). 🍢 Mercado de San Miguel • Instagrammable but crowded—go for photos, not meals. 🍫 Chocolatería San Ginés • €5 churros (dip generously!). 🌇 Puerta del Sol • Spain’s "KM 0" + bear statue selfie. 🍽️ Vinitus Gran Via • €8 skewers (squid-prawn = 👍, foie gras = 😅). 🌳 Retiro Park • Boat rentals (€6) + crystal palace magic. #MadridWeekend #ArtAndChurros #SkipTheHotelBreakfast
