Head to Madrid and the Prado
It’s a fact: there are fewer flights from Nice to Madrid than to Barcelona. Between these two eternal rivals, Catalonia is the clear preference of people from the French Riviera. But does that mean Spain’s capital isn't worth seeing? On the contrary! The royal city has some solid arguments in its favour. It’s beautiful and flamboyant, home to countless masterpieces of art and architecture, and doesn’t shy away from indulging in all of life's pleasures. That’s enough to make anyone want to jump on a Nice-Madrid flight!

What to do in
Madrid ?
A few centuries back, in the time of conquistadors and gold-filled galleons, Madrid was the centre of the world. The city has preserved its glorious past and its heritage, and is gradually regaining its former prestige. But don’t let that make you think this city lives in the past! It's quite the contrary: people here savour - even devour - the present moment, living life to its fullest. Behind its uptight front, the capital of Spain is as Spanish as it gets, a deliriously joyful place that's full of passion and excitement.
