Do not miss a Flamenco show. We were lucky because there was Amargo in theatre, but there are many other places where you can see this dance every night. One is Cafe de Chinitas, Torija 7, Undergroud Santo domingo, show at 10.30 pm.

3 Day Trip
Can anyone help me plan a three day trip to madrid that does not include football,churches or trips outside the city .I am travelling with my wife and we like restraunts and boat trips etc.......many thanks 63pad
Re: 3 Day Trip
...daytrips inside the city? I could recommend some easy daytrips from Madrid if you like.
Re: 3 Day Trip
It's not a church, or football, etc. so how about the Prado, or are you not into art galleries either? Perhaps a bull fight? The Royal Palace? There's a nice big park in Madrid, can't remember what it is called, so you could have a walk there.
Re: 3 Day Trip
There are so many places and things to do in Madrid!
Museums and Art Galleries: El Prado, Reina Sofía, Thyssen-Bornemisza, Casa-Museo de Sorolla; Museum of Natural Sciences, Archaeological Museum...
Parks: El Retiro, in the city center; Casa de Campo.
Palacio Real (Palacio de Oriente) and Jardines de Sabatini. Templo de Debod.
Madrid de los Austrias (around Plaza Mayor). Etc.
Check the tips on VT pages, they can give you other ideas. Redang and SirRichard have wonderful pages on Madrid, with up to 60 things to do tips.
Re: 3 Day Trip
If planning to do the art museums, and you like art, take into account that only doing the Prado, Reina Sofia and Thyssen-Bornemisza might take two of your three-day stay. In my personal experience, I tried to squeeze the three in one day, but I missed quite a lot, and couldn't make it to the Sorolla museum. You might allow to El Prado one full day and one half day for the other two.
Good luck!

Travel Tips for Madrid
Calamari sandwiches!
Don't miss this tasty and very typical, but little-known-to-tourists, snack. All around the Plaza Mayor, and Atocha train station, you´ll see signs for "Bocadillos de Calamares," or Calamari sandwiches! It might sound strange, but try it with a cold beer and you've got a cheap lunch. Bocadillos should be around €2.00 or €2.50. They might be more expensive right inside Plaza Mayor.
Real Madrid Plays Here!
Not being a football fan, (I can't quite get used to calling it "football." Such an American am I !!) I suppose I don't appreciate the importance of Real Madrid and their imposing stadium, Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, but perhaps you do--my partner did, but he's originally from a football-loving country. Anyway, there it is. I know you can have a look around if you are inclined, besides actually attending a game. There were many English fans wandering around the October 2003 day we visited. Anyway, around the corner is the large team merchandise store in a small mall. They were doing a VERY brisk business selling sporting goods and nic-nacs bearing the team logo.
