MADRID CAR HIRE REVIEWS
Car hire reviews in Madrid
Vibrant and wholly absorbing, Madrid is one of the most energised and culturally fascinating capital cities in Europe. Despite all its first-rate tourist attractions and activities, the city retains much of its original character and offers visitors a true taste of the real Spain. First stop for many is the Prado Museum, a world-class art complex that rivals the Louvre in Paris. Must-see masterpieces include The Garden of Love by Rubens and Las Meninas, Velázquez's famous 17th-century painting of the Spanish royal family. If you only have time for one more museum, make it the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza with pieces from the 13th to the late 20th century covering Renaissance, Impressionism, Fauvism, Baroque, Rococo, Romanticism, Expressionism and Pop Art. Equally appealing is the Royal Palace, Spain's very own version of Versailles. Built entirely of granite and white Colmenar stone, this majestic Neoclassical building is the centrepiece of a large estate featuring the lavish Sabatini Gardens. Madrid is very well placed in the centre of the country for people looking to explore many of Spain's other interesting places. With your car hire in Madrid you can easily reach Toledo (less than 50 miles to the south-west), the enchanting walled town of Ávila (75 miles north-west) and the history city of Valladolid about a two-hour drive north of the capital.
