In this week’s episode of the Travel Lounge Podcast, Sarah and Ed are off to the Spanish capital, discovering why Madrid is one of Europe’s great city break destinations. From elegant boulevards and leafy parks to world-class museums and remarkable history around every corner, this is a city that really delivers.

Sarah shares stories from her fabulous family holiday in Madrid, including a memorable day trip to the beautiful historic city of Toledo, which she absolutely loved — a medieval masterpiece just a short train ride away and one of the highlights of the trip.

Meanwhile, Culture Vulture Ed dives deep into the treasures of the Prado Museum, one of the world’s great art galleries, and explores the astonishing Royal Palace of Madrid, one of the largest royal palaces anywhere in the world, with an incredible 3,400 rooms.

And just when you think Madrid couldn’t surprise you any more — yes, there’s even an Egyptian temple in the city.

Add in great restaurants, stylish places to stay, beautiful parks, and a rail network that gets a big thumbs up from both Sarah and Ed, and you’ve got a city break that ticks every box.

Madrid — Es Muy Bien. 🇪🇸
