Madrid is famous for its world-class art collections, including the renowned "Museum Triangle" which houses some of the most important galleries in Europe. At the very heart of the city, Puerta del Sol is a bustling piazza and the central transport hub that hosts many public festivals throughout the year. The surrounding architecture showcases a superb blend of Moorish, Renaissance and Gothic influences. Be sure to explore the vast Palacio Real, or Royal Palace, which, while the official residence of the King, is now mainly used for ceremonial duties.
