You can definitely get a taste of all Madrid has to offer in two days, and I should know. I've spent plenty of time exploring Spain's capital city, indulging in wine-filled afternoons, late-night tapas, and showstopping flamenco—all in a day's work. Sure, you'll probably wish you had more time (you might need a lifetime to study the city's sweeping Spanish and Latin American art collection) but you can do a lot of living here in 48 hours.
