The Museo del Prado is one of Madrid's most famous attractions and one that few visitors would want to miss. Spanish Art is well represented by Velazquez; Goya and El Greco as well as minor artists such as de Ribera and Murillo. Along with a fair number of Flemish and Italian masters one visit may not be enough. A short stroll from Puerta del Sol; Madrid's official central point; lies Plaza Mayor; a popular venue over the centuries for royal festivities and bullfights; and today home to many open-air cafes. The massive Palacio Real has over 2;800 rooms but only 50 are open to the public. Worth a visit for the Throne Room with its ornate crimson walls and Tiepolo celing. At the end of the day; take a gentle stroll in Parque del Buen Retiro; Madrid's loveliest public garden; and admire the artificial lake and Egyptian Fountain.
