Madrid is Europe's highest capital and its most intensely alive — the art museums are world-class, the food culture is extraordinary, and a city that doesn't eat dinner until 10pm doesn't go to bed until 4am.
Madrid operates on a completely different timetable to the rest of Europe. Lunch is at 3pm, dinner at 10pm, clubs close at 6am. But the Prado, Reina Sofía and Thyssen-Bornemisza form the greatest art triangle in Europe, and the food culture rewards the adventurous.
