Although one of the most celebrated cities of Europe, can certainly be digested over the course of a weekend. This is largely down to size and history. Where big-name rivals London and Paris have been expanding since the Roman era, Madrid is a late developer – only hitting its growth spurt in 1561, when Philip II moved his royal court within its walls (immediately transforming a small city into the middle ground of the newly unified Spain). Even now, with the subsequent four centuries helping it to swell into the third largest city in the European Union (behind London and Berlin), Madrid retains the feel and ambience of a compact, close-knit entity, laid out around a clearly-defined core, and easily explored in two or three leisurely days.
