Ave price: $118
Nice hotel, very modern, good location just blocks from the tram or commuter train line; very pleasant and helpful staff and world-class restaurant!
2. Aparthotel Gran Via 65
Aparthotel Gran Via 65, Madrid, Spain
Check Rates ABS:HotelCheckRates-d234286?src=GoListDetail&fromServlet=GoListDetail&Action=QC_Button
Ave price: $147
This is a great hotel, a block-and-a-half from the metro and close to everything. Even though it's on a main drag, it's very quiet. All rooms have a small kitchen in case you'd like to save money on food.
3. Prado Museum (Museo del Prado)
Prado Museum (Museo del Prado), Madrid, Spain
More of a must-see than a love-to-see; you need to be able to check it off the list, but the collection isn't the most incredible.
4. Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum (Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza)
Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum (Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza), Madrid, Spain
One of the most beautiful collections imaginable, if you like Impressionists, Post-Impressionists, Fauves, Expressionists and more! Quiet, new and beautiful!
5. Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sophia
Queen Sofia Arts Center (Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia), Madrid, Spain
Big, old-fashioned art museum with a huge and varied collection. Well worth the visit!
6. Guggenheim Museum Bilbao
Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, Bilbao, Basque
Even if you never went inside, the trip to Bilbao would be worth it just to see the architecture of this building! It's heartening to know that art can turn the fortunes of a city around. Bilbao, once a fading industrial city, is now a thriving hub for art and architecture.
7. Zubizuri footbridge in Bilbao
http://www.greatbuildings.com/buildings/Campo_Volantin_Footbridge.html
One of the most amazing bridges you can imagine, built by architect Santiago Calatrava in Bilbao after the Guggenheim was opened. The footbed is glass!!!
