  • Hola y bienvenidos a Madrid. This week we are in the Spanish capital and we are going

  • to show you twenty five of the best things to do in the city.

  • We were beyond excited to come and visit Madrid, after all this is a city renowned for its

  • arts, cuisine, and nightlife.

  • With 10 days to spare, we decided to hit up some of the best sights and attractions and

  • film a guide highlighting "25 things to do in Madrid".

  • In this video you can expect everything from lively markets and world renowned museums,

  • to beautiful gardens and Spanish dishes.

  • Now let's find out what the Spanish capital is all about!

  • So this morning we are visiting Real Jardín Botánico which are the Royal Botanical Gardens

  • here in Madrid. And it is a beautiful space, shaded, lots of different plants from around

  • the world. And the place is actually massive so I'm going to show you the map so you can

  • get an idea of how many little gardens you can visit. And we've only covered a fraction

  • of it so far. Yep.

  • Palacio Real de Madrid is one of the largest palaces in all of Europe. Technically, this

  • is the official residence of the Spanish Royal Family, however, they choose to live in a

  • smaller and more modest palace in the outskirts of town. The Royal Palace is open to visitors

  • year round.

  • So another thing you can do at the palace here is check out the changing of the guard.

  • We were here at eleven o'clock and that is when it started.

  • So one thing that we keep noticing about our stay here in Madrid is that they love their

  • gardens and their parks. Right now we are visiting a place called Jardines de Sabatini

  • and again it is just a garden that is located behind the Royal Palace. And it is a beautiful

  • place to visit and there is hardly any tourists here. So I recommend you come check it out.

  • So right now we're riding the cable car over Madrid. It is an eleven minute journey. Two

  • and a half kilometers. And I think we're going to get some great views of the city.

  • La Rosaleda is a massive rose garden located in the west end of the city. Every year during

  • the month of May a contest is held to select the most beautiful rose of them all. We missed

  • the contest by a couple of months, but we still enjoyed wandering through the grounds.

  • Meals were a big highlight during our visit to Madrid, especially gazpacho!

  • Okay, so time for the first spoonful of Gazpacho. Oh ho ho baby. Mmmm.

  • That is so good. It is tangy because of the tomato. It is served cold so it is really

  • refreshing. And this one has a lot more ingredients than salmorejo. So I just put in some chopped

  • bell peppers, green and red peppers. It has also got a bit of onions in there. And it

  • was drizzled with olive oil on top. So it is a great combination on a hot summer day.

  • I'm just going to keep enjoying this over here.

  • It is so good.

  • The Prado museum holds one of the best collections of Spanish art. They have works by artists

  • like Francisco de Goya, Diego Velázquez, and El Greco. Admission to the museum is free

  • in the evenings 2 hours before closing, but you'll need few days to cover everything this

  • museum has to offer.

  • So at the moment we're visiting Parque del Buen Retiro which is one of the biggest parks

  • in the city. And we're just taking a little break in the shade because summer in Madrid

  • feels like someone has turned on the blow-dryer and they're just blowing it all over your

  • body. It is like a wall of hot air hitting you in the face. So, we rest and cool down

  • people.

  • Parque del Buen Retiro is a massive park in Madrid. It has beautiful boulevards for strolling,

  • a large pond where you can rent row boats, and plazas with trees that will make you feel

  • like you've stumbled into Alice in Wonderland.

  • One attraction you shouldn't miss when visiting Parque del Retiro is the Crystal Palace. It's

  • a beautiful building that streams in natural sunlight, and on occasion they host contemporary

  • art exhibitions.

  • Palacio de Velázquez is also located in the same park. It has red-brick-and-tile architecture,

  • and inside you'll fine temporary exhibitions organized through the Reina Sofía museum.

  • So if you're in Madrid during the summer months you can check out this book fair which is

  • located just behind the Botanical Gardens.

  • Cuesta de Moyano is a little hill lined with book stands and you can pick up literature

  • ranging from philosophy to fantasy, all for a couple of Euros.

  • We couldn't come to the capital and not try Spain's national dish: paella.

  • Okay so your mixed Paella has arrived. Tell us about it. Yeah, the paella is finally here.

  • So the mixed paella has a whole bunch of different things. Let's take a look down at it. So you

  • can see that there is chicken, we've got shrimp, we've got other kinds of seafood, we've got

  • peas.

  • Let's take the first bite here. This is my favorite Spanish food. The thing I like about

  • it so much is that you have all of these different ingredients and it just has such a flavorful

  • sauce on top of the rice. It is just so good.

  • Well, we certainly polished that off. So now let's talk about the price. Yeah, that was

  • nice and filling. So in terms of price it can vary widely. In more expensive, kind of

  • like gourmet restaurants that really specialize in it, we've seen it go up to thirty or thirty

  • five Euros. We've never actually ate somewhere like that. The place we went to was eleven

  • Euros and we thought it was a really good value. We're both really full now. And I've

  • also seen it as an appetizer in some smaller types of restaurants. And you can expect to

  • maybe pay seven or eight Euros for that.

  • So next up we've going to visit the Temple of Debod. Which is an ancient Egyptian Temple

  • that is here in Madrid. And now it wasn't stolen by the Spaniards. It was actually given

  • as a gift because they were building a dam in Egypt in the same area where the temple

  • used to be located. And it was at risk of flooding. So it was given as a gift in order

  • to preserve it. And it is actually a really popular place to watch the sunset and there

  • is lots of people hanging out here so we're going to show you a bit of that.

  • Here we are visiting the home of Real Madrid football club. Easily one of the most famous

  • teams in the world, not just in Spain. And we're going to take a little walk around outside.

  • And you have a new hat to represent. I just did buy one of these.

  • Santiago Bernabéu Stadium is home to the Real Madrid Futbol Club. This is one of the

  • most popular football teams in the world with a huge fan base.

  • So another thing to do in Madrid is actually go out and experience the nightlife. So tonight

  • we're out having a nice little drink. I've got Tinto de Verano. Sam's got Sangria and

  • I do have to warn you the nightlife in Madrid does get started pretty late. We're out right

  • now at like nine thirty and that is super early. Normally people get together past midnight

  • and things keeps going until like four or five in the morning. So, you've been warned.

  • So what have been your first impressions of Madrid's night life? Pulsating, in a word.

  • Hahaha.

  • Recently, we were out with friends and we didn't get back home until about four thirty

  • or five in the morning. Definitely a night to remember.

  • The San Miguel Market is the place to come if you want to sample a wide array of Spanish

  • dishes all under one roof. You'll find everything ranging from seafood to meats and sausages,

  • as well as glasses of sangria and tinto de verano.

  • Plaza Mayor is Madrid's central square and it is lined with little cafes and restaurants.

  • It's a nice place to enjoy a cup of coffee and do a bit of people watching, but you will

  • pay a lot more than you would elsewhere in the city.

  • So it is breakfast time here in Madrid. We've just rolled out of bed at 10 am which is a

  • bit unusual. But we're here at a local cafe and we're going to have a traditional Spanish

  • breakfast. So we have ordered a hot chocolate with churros and porras. So we're going to

  • show you what those are like in just a few minutes.

  • And what are you having? I'm actually having the proper churros. Which is a deep-fried

  • dough. And what I've found interesting is when I've had this in Canada it is more of

  • a dessert but over here in Spain it is a breakfast. And it is a very popular breakfast item. So

  • let's dip that right into the chocolate. Show us how it is done.

  • Break off a piece here. And that hot chocolate is as thick as it gets. It must have some

  • kind of special ingredients that make it especially thick and rich.

  • It is like mud. It is like chocolate sludge.

  • Wow. Let me just say, I could get very used to having this as my normal breakfast. It

  • is that good.

  • So what I find unique about the Spanish churro is the shape. When we had these in South America

  • they were usually like long little strips. And also there is no filling in these. I still

  • haven't come across any Spanish churros that have filings. Whereas in South America they

  • were stuffed with chocolate, vanilla pudding, dulce de leche. So that is another difference.

  • Now let's dip this. Oh la la.

  • This is so good.

  • It is like a wishbone.

  • Puerta del Sol means Gate of the Sun and it is one of the busiest spots in Madrid. It's

  • a great spot to do a bit of shopping, catch a street performance, and then grab a quick

  • bite.

  • La Almudena is a catholic church which sits directly across from the Royal Palace. The

  • church is open to visitors free of charge, but a small donation is suggested to upkeep

  • the building.

  • Right now we're visiting the Oriental Plaza, which is right by the palace. It is a nice

  • kind of scenic area to walk. And you can see all kinds of plants from Asia.

  • So it is time for another breakfast here in Madrid. Today we are having the madrileño

  • which is the local breakfast that everybody likes to eat in the city. And if you look

  • down here you'll be able to see this is Tortilla. Which is a potato and egg type of dish. So

  • it is kind of like a potato and egg omelette. And it is delicious. It comes with a side

  • of bread. And I can't wait to dig in. Oh la la.

  • It is so good. So good. This is your favorite breakfast. It really is. I've been eating

  • it daily. And on my birthday I had it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. That is how much

  • I like it.

  • The Queen Sofia museum focuses on 20th-century art. It forms part of the Golden Triangle

  • of Art, which also includes the Prado and the Thyssen.

  • You can also visit Thyssen-Bornemisza, an art museum in the city that was once the second

  • largest private collection in the world.

  • Final thoughts on your time in Madrid. Well, I really enjoyed the city. And I really found

  • that it is super walk-able. We were here for 10 days and we hardly had to take the metro

  • at all. We just took the bus once when we were visiting the stadium but the rest of

  • the time we were able to walk wherever we needed to go. And also I think it is a great

  • city for art lovers. There are so many galleries and museums to check out. And a lot of them

  • are free in the evening. So keep that in mind.

  • And now it is your turn. What did you think of Madrid? You know what? I absolutely loved

  • Madrid. It is a city that just really clicked with me. We have a lot of friends that are

  • living here long term and prior to coming here I had no idea like why would someone

  • want to come to Madrid? Now I totally get it. I love the culture, I love the food, I

  • love the nightlife. Everything is really cheap. I go to the grocery store and I can get a

  • one liter thing of wine for just over a Euro. It is just a really affordable fun city to

  • be in. And it is somewhere I hope I have a chance to come back to again soon.

  • And that is a wrap of our time in Madrid! We had a splendid time and were truly sad

  • to say goodbye to the city, but that just means we'll have to come back again. If you

  • have any travel tips for Madrid, feel free to share those in the comments below. And
