Retiro is a district for art lovers. In the museums here, you will find masterpieces from all corners of the world and times.
Retiro is the district for you if you are a true art lover. The Paseo del Prado is Madrid's museum allée. It includes the world-famous Prado, with its magnificent collection of Italian, Flemish and Spanish masters. The Paseo itself is a busy street, but there are so many beautiful buildings along the way that you'll feast your eyes. The rest of the district is chic and quiet. In Parque del Buen Retiro, you can see art at the Palacio de Cristal, sail in a rowing boat, attend a flamenco performance or enjoy street musicians on the boulevard. On weekdays, the place is quiet and you can doze off on a bench or in the grass.
