Answer 8

Assuming unlimited funds.

------------------------------

These are the four most important day trips from Madrid. Listed in order of age (first two are most important):

Old Town of Segovia and its Aqueduct [Roman]

Historic City of Toledo [Old capital from Visigothic era]

Old Town of Ávila [medieval city:11th-16th century ]

Escorial Monastery [post Columbus: 16th century] 28 miles

--------------------------------------...

These two are a bit furthur,

Centre of Córdoba (102 minutes each way by train)

- Leave early. Still a reasonable day trip.

Old City of Salamanca (150 minutes each way by bus)

- Probably better to go to Salamanca overnight trip

Answer 10

You absolutely have to see the museums. Just a little hint: there are tons, but you can't miss El Prado, El Museo Reina Sofia, and El Museo Thyssen. The first two are public, so they are closed certain days, and they are also free other days. Check the schedule and you can save yourself some money. The third museum is private, so it's never free, but it's a must see. It has one of the best private collections ever!!
