My question is simple:
For a week, in mid-July, which city should I visit?
My interests are the arts, history, architecture, GREAT food, and friendly people. (Who doesn't like those things?)
Which city should I go to, Lisbon, Madrid, or Seville?
My parents told me that I can chose out of the three.
I am fine with all of them!
I will be going there along with my parents and grandparent.
Please Help!!!
Hi,
I think Lisbon can be your best choice. Not because Seville and Madrid aren't great but the truth is in July they tend to be really hot. Lisbon is colder and you can always spend some time at the beach. Lisbon has plenty of things to see and do, probably less tourists then the others and might be slightly cheaper.
Lisbon has a downside it is quite hilly while Madrid and Seville are quite flat. Of course that gives it a special charm but makes it harder to navigate and more tiring.
Have a nice trip
Sevilla. No question about it.
If you want museums then Madrid.
Otherwise I have to say Sevilla.
I visited there for a week last September and had the most wonderful time.
Lots of nice walking tours, a great Tourist Info Office, fantastic architecture, food to die for, easy travel to other places for a day trip, like to Cordoba for the Mezqite/Cathedral and the Jewish Heritage sites, a fantastic Old City, a marvelous Alcazar that is almost a mini-Al Hambra, a nice park for a break from the city, etc.
Full details on my Spain pages.
Whatever you decide - Enjoy!
If you've never been to Madrid - well let's start with the Palacio Real, the Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, Plaza de Colon (check out the waterfall), Parque de Retiro. Moving on try out Gran Via, Sol and Plaza Major!. Good city, good company, good time....
When you arrive at Madrid by plain you have a oficina de turismo at Terminal one at the Barajas airport. You can book hotels here, and at the nearby RENFE office you get information on travelling further by train. The central tourist office is located at the Plaza Mayor 3 (913665477). here you get also a free cityplan. Its open from 8 till 20 and on saturdays from 8 till 13. The website: http://www.turismomadrid.es/index_INGL.shtml
If you are gonna stay long enough here and need to use a phone all the time. Don't worry about bringing your own cell phone with you, just hire one when arriving.

Important notices:
1. Some buildings or monuments are very close to the metro station and easy to be found whilst some others are a bit far and it's not so easy to get to them, you only have to look for the correct street or square.
2. The link shows the list of the stations of the different metro lines.
3. As I said before, there are many buildings/monuments, but I only bring here a few of them.
A wide range of bars offering the finest flamenco atmospheres
With the rise of flamenco bars in the 19th century, flamenco enjoyed its finest hour in the capital. These days, the flamenco bars and clubs are carrying on the tradition, offering a chance to see flamenco at its purest every night, while enjoying a fine meal or a drink. Our journey begins in the most traditional flamenco tapas bars in Madrid. At 11 o clock every night, the waiters and the audience sing “la salve”, a tradition which “comes directly from Jerez”, according to the venue manager Rafael Cantero. “The lights go down, and candles are lit in order to get the singers in the mood, and the audience is given a song sheet so that they can join in”.
Not only can the audience enjoy the finest local music, but they can also enjoy the traditional tapas and dishes such as gazpacho, potatoes, fried fish and bull tail, and wines such as sherry and manzanilla de Sanlúcar de Barrameda.
