Top ways to experience Salon de Reinos del Palacio del Buen Retiro and nearby attractions

The area
Address
Neighbourhood: Paseo del Prado
The area around the elegant Paseo del Prado boulevard is much-visited by both locals and tourists. The world-famous Prado, the Reina Sofia, and the Thyssen-Bornemisza museums form a triangle of art and culture that spans this grand and beautiful avenue. On weekdays, the Prado Museum opens its doors for free after-work hours, drawing a diverse and excited queue of art lovers that wraps around the block. Palacio de Cibeles and Círculo de Bellas Artes cultural centers are other artsy hangouts to check out, with rooftop bars that provide impressive views of the city. While the Paseo del Prado and its roundabouts form a busy throughway in Madrid, a broad green pedestrian park in the middle is a calm and gorgeous place for a relaxing stroll. Just east of the museums, the Retiro Park is always a confluence of activity as families and friends of all ages take to the pretty paths and lawns to stretch their legs or to have a picnic.

A royal palace
Nov 2018 • Couples
Salon de Reinos del Palacio del Buen Retiro is an old royal palace, but is now closed to visitors. It was built in the early 17th century and during its heyday it was full of splendour. It has served as a museum and other things. There is no need to go out of your way to visit. There are many similar buildings all over Madrid to look at.

One of many nice buildings
Feb 2018 • Couples
Not many visitors seem to make it here. This area has many spectacular buildings located between the rear of The Prado and then beautiful new formal gardens on the west side of the Park Retiro.

Old palace and museum
Nov 2017 • Solo
Salon de Reinos del Palacio del Buen Retiro is an old palace situated between thr Retiro and the Prado. It occupies the middle of a large square and judging by the old writing on the building it used to be a museum but the building is sadly closed now.
