Madrid
Three of the great European painting collections, within one walk.
Madrid’s Paseo del Arte puts the Prado, the Thyssen-Bornemisza and the Reina Sofía within a few hundred metres of each other, which is a concentration nowhere else matches. The city eats late, sits outdoors most of the year, and has quietly built a substantial luxury hotel market.
