Keefaz Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 It's quite a compact place. You walk round most of it in a few days. You like museums and that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Madrid is amazing. I don't have any specific sites to goto really, I basically just wandered around the entire city doing everything on a shoe string. It was height of summer so it was very much a wander into parks, eating ice cream and generally taking in the atmosphere. Also the Royal Palace was very near to my sexy hostel, is a fairly impressive building. I also fell over in a hedge, cutting a small lump of flesh from my leg, scarred forever Oh, and Bernabeu! ofc. Much better than the Camp Nou piss-hole. Get to a match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gash Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Wait until May and go see Arsenal in Champions League final? Alternatively, if you are (as i expect) a bloody thirsty heartless... go and see a bullfight! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to spend time on my todd while she does her talk and checks ou the lab she'll be working in etc. So will be on my own for a day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just dick around: go to Retiro Park, El Rastro, Bernabeu, Templo de Debod, then go get shit-faced in La Latina. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEMTEX Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 September is a pleasant month, with temperatures back down to around 25 degrees Celsius (77°F). October is also still fairly warm with an average daytime temperature of 20 degrees Celsius (68°F) and is still a pleasant time to visit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob W Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Its a great place for just wandering around - the Prado is fantastic but its nearly as bad as the Louvre Death March - better to do it in 2-3 visits Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
