Hi,

For the ones living in Madrid, what would you suggest to discover the region?

When you have friends or family visiting you, where do you go with them? What are the must-see places in Madrid, the tourist sites?

How to visit the region in an original way? Any unusual or unknown place to recommend?

What would you suggest for a couple of days of for a week of holidays in Madrid?

Thank you in advance for participating

Julie

Well, besides the places where you can go inside the city I would recommend going to the towns nearby the mountains, like Rascafría, Navacerrada or the water reservoirs like el Atazar.

The drawback is that to get there it's way better by car,

Hi, why don't you try the Greeters Madrid organization? It is free of charge, just book a greeter in their web page and see how a native shows you the city!
