I am thinking about visiting Madrid this weekend. Can anybody tell me if they enjoyed their visit? Nice places to see? Recommended hostels??
Thanks so much!

Yes, been there 3 times. Madrid is such a lovely place...
Go eat a Paella at Plaza Mayor, you may also walk around Gran Via, Puerta del Sol, and check the Royal Palace...

It is a nice city, from what I saw. A bit dull compared to ie. Barcelona.
Atocha train station is worth taking a look inside. Prado should be on your list. Somebody recommended a trip to Escorial, but we didn't have enough time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_…
The parks are pleasant, but I'm not sure traveling to another country to chill on a patch of grass in a park is everybody's idea.I have some neat photos from some sort of Changing of the Guard - like ceremony at the Royal Palace
