- Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2004 | After wandering the Plaza Mayor, do a little high-stakes gambling at one of Europe's biggest flea markets, ogle the lavish Royal Palace, ponder perplexing art at the Prado Museum, stare down a flamenco dancer in Sevilla, look deep into Picasso's greatest work - Guernica - at the Centro Reina Sofía, and munch on pigs' ears in a "tapa tango." #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #madrid

I am an American. I have travel to Europe many times. I have visited London, Paris, Rome, Lisbon, Lucerne, Prague, Munich, Barcelona, and Madrid. Madrid has a very especial place in my heart. Madrid, by far, is my favorite city in Europe! Salutations from, USA!
Why is it so? May I ask? I am going to Madrid soon
I can really tell you are American from that grammar and your name
THANKS FROM MADRID FOR YOUR KIND WORDS
Alexei Romanov Same here! Despite having travelled all over.
You, an American? hahahahahaha Sure, and me too!
I'm Canadian, but I love Spain with all my heart.
You will be welcome in Spain!
Same. Just love Spain!
@ilargitxo2 Spanish culture is so beautiful.
YO un Chavacano from Philippines en yo tamen, love Spain.
You know nothing about Spain.
Go live there, especially to Madrid, it is an paradise, just as you imagine it.
I love the sentence: "Some spaniards come here to honor him. Others come to be sure he's still dead". You defined Spain more than you think. By the way, Franco is not there anymore.
" Others come to be sure he's still dead". If not they kill him again!!
I studied abroad in Spain, specifically in Madrid, and it was a transformative experience. It has so much culture, art, and pride that you don't have a choice but to appreciate and admire it.
Camellia Ghotbzadeh Can’t agree with you more!
They should kill that young pigs
Hello Carmelia
your xenophobic supremacist Castilian guardia civil keep arresting torturing and repressing Catalan Europeans speaking Catalan in Catalonia - why don’t you start a channel to tell the TRUTH about the HATE Castilian have against Catalonia ??? Talk about your Castilian Spanish HOLOCAUST
Spain is a wonderful country
From the European Capitals that I have visited...
London is the most interesting and atmospheric
Paris is the most romantic and charming
Rome is the most glorius and historical
Prague is the most beautiful and...
Madrid is the most human, elegant and sensual!
I Love them all so much I can't decide which is the best!
Cheers from Grecia.
What do you mean with human? Lol
humanistic
demgroc57 OK. I recommend you to visit Budapest . Its very beautiful too, even if its a bit neglected due to not enough funding to restore the handsome buildings there.
The D.F? Noooo waaay! New world cities are not a match for European ones.
I agree with you! I am an American. I have travel to Europe many times. I have visited all the cities you above mentioned. Madrid has a very especial place in my heart. Madrid is my favorite city in Europa! Salutations from, USA!
Madrid is the most beautiful city in Europe, the best hotels, delicious cuisine and the friendliest and friendliest people in all of Europe.
@Jim20 What a shame Jim,i have been going there for 15 years,love the place always stay with local people,now they stay with me,You must have been in La Rambla or near there ,horrible place.
I agree with you, best hotels. The Hyatt centric suites are way more beautiful, clean and spacious than the US ones.
I agree about the hotels. I was completely blown away looking at even the local hotel brands in Madrid (on Google Earth). They're on par with Marriott and Hyatt
Madrid , the best nightlife in the world!
There is nowhere like Spain. Every region, city, and town has something amazing and unique to offer. I lived there for a year and a half and it was such an incredible place to call home.
I’m from China , I studied in Madrid more than 3years for masters , I love this country , I miss the life of there . Viva expat
Pues vuelve!
You can always return!
corona !
I had a layover in Madrid, over night, going from Barcelona to Medellín. 23 hours, I think I slept like 2, went jamming Ukulele, ate like a king, had a blast. Great city.
bonkers
You should have gone sightseeing while you were there. :)
Bella Madrid ,bella Spana fratelli di noi
Un abbraccio, fratello. Lunga vita all'Italia. 🟩⬜🟥🤲🟥🟨🟥
I am proud of my Spanish heritage. Being a descendant of Spaniards who settled in the new world, I couldn't help but wonder what life would've been like for me, if we had stayed in Spain...
You’re welcome if you decide to come to Spain! 🤗🇪🇸
Loved Spain.....stationed there in the Navy. Visited all of Europe , nothing like Spain...there is just something about it.....mystical, romantic, erotic, modest....the food,the dances, the culture, the art, the vino...the food...fiestas galore....and the Spanish women.....wow.....nothing like it...just AMAZING. MAGNIFICENT. Gotta go visit !
+Navy78 do go--but there's problems too---
Are you saying spain is more beautiful than France and Italy ? Maybe france but Italy ? COME ON ! Siena, Pisa, Rome, Florence, Bologna, Ferrara, Milan, Turin, Genoa, Naples, Sicily, Perugia, Assisi, the dolomites, the lakes, sardinia...how could you even compare Spain to ITALY ???
Glad you like it! It's a beautiful country indeed, with very nice people. But other European countries are great too.
Lisbon is better
Lisbon is better
Bravo! Bravissimo!
VIVA Madrid!
Love it, great documentary. The Prado is the Holy Grail of Museums. Velasquez the greatest and my favorite. I'm going to retire to Madrid!
Went to Madrid last summer. It was awesome. Now I feel like I wanna go back there again.
Spain is a great country and one of the most visited countries in the world. You tourists are invited to come

De Madrid al cielo, it indeed is a fab city, it's people, architecture, museums, music, tapeo, vibrant city that nunca se duerme. I went to study there for 2 years, the years went on and on, never wanted to leave...

Because I was in the military at the time. No good assignment last forever.
Where did you stay at? Rota?
@@Goooogle Obviously Torrejón de Ardoz.

I'm Madrileña and I think this video was great for tourists, very well shown and explained 👏
Hello Ana
I believe you are the only vlogger who talk in details about the artworks in the museums. I am impressed. Obviously you are not just out to earn UTube money and your language is the English of the educated. To me that is the ultimate respect you can accord to your viewer. Muy muchas gracias para un video maravilloso de nuestra madre españa. Abrazos desde provincia de yloilo filipinas.
Some Spaniards come here to honor him. Others to make sure he is still dead... jajajajaja que buena estuvo esa!
Beautiful culture
I can't wait to visit Spain this coming summer.....😀😀😀😀

How was it? Im going in September
Thank you for making me love this country!
Madrid is majestic! 🇪🇸
It's amazing to know more about Spain's glorious past, rich culture, and modern way of life. Seeing the bed and the grand palace once King Philipp II slept and resided is truly remarkable. Philippines is really blessed and thankful to its Spanish colonizers. Viva España!🇪🇸 Viva Filipinas!🇵🇭
if you wanna know the history of Spain then read history books, good history books, and not these kind of videos, where the topics, false myths and ignorance are very present
By the way, the most impressive thing in El Escorial is the phanteon, when you can feel the History of Spain in front of you, watching all those graves of the ancient monarchs and kings. Saludos desde España and Viva Filipinas
Espana es hermosa. The language, literature, flamenco, paintings, architecture, even bullfighting
yeah but you should visited the north of spain. it's anither culture
all spain is interesting
@@WalterModel45 I love the Picos de Europa, The Pyrenees....

To the younger people watching this Rick Steves is not a UA-camr or a vlogger. He is a television host that has presented these travel documentaries for many years now.
I could tell from how Spanish Madrid still was here
Soy español y no puedo estar más orgulloso de nuestra cultura y forma de ver la vida.
Grande España y cada vez más valorada por todo el mundo
No way. Spain is a joke. Sad, but true. We are only known for tourism. Well... a nowadays do the Catalan issue.
@@AnzuBrief Well, this is your opinion. I find we are and interesting country, with plenty of art, a great variety of landscapes, a wonderful gastronomy and beautiful cities. Unfortunately we also have corruption and a scarcity of water, among other problems...
@@AnzuBrief Whose truth, Yours?.Spain is beautiful...Politicians are the same everywhere...corrupt to the core...that has nothing to do with the beauty of the country and its people...and the quality of life is consider one of the highest in the world...That is why Spanish people are on their way to be the longest living people in the world...Yes, going ahead of Japan...
@@AnzuBrief Jajaja cry more, you are a joke

Spain and Madrid museums art gallery’s views mountains a great. Place to view .Parks Prato museum the great museums that marvels. a must. See capital.Great holiday in the 1990s with a great friend.

Madrid is a great city and love the people or "Gatos Madrilenos" Gracias Madrid, had a great time. Quiero volver!
I need city's of Maine madride it's just I'm not saying something right
That guys reaction to the ham was priceless. I can think of a few expressions that matches.
Madrid is absolutely incredible, just like whole Spain.
Miss Spain so much. I am from the Philippines and had I hid the plea of my friends in Madrid to stay back in 1982. I would have been by now Spanish resident an icon to reckon.
Los filipinos siempre son bienvenidos a España.

Madrid, my city!
Rick, I love all of your videos from different countries, the quality of your videos is excellent. Thank you for sharing.

I visited Madrid in June for only 3 days. How I wish I stayed longer. It's such a beautiful place and there were loads of places that I didn't get to see 😭
Hello Coleen
Iberian ham is the best.
I love Spain, it's beautiful
Rick thank you for let me see Madrid and relive my good times.
I hope I'll be able to visit Spain in the future. I want to visit my ancestor's country and hopefully meet some of my relatives, the Escaño family. 😀 I'm from Philippines. Filipino-Spanish-Chinese.
All the best for you. I could know my two uncles in 2002 and I am very proud of it.
I'm from Madrid, and the friends that I have that are from another country but live here, absolutely adore Madrid 😍. I love it here too, the city has something special.
Hi Ana
Madrid Spain looks awesome, can't wait to travel there
The mightiest, most powerful and the strongest empire in history! ¡Viva España! 🇪🇸 🌿 PLVS • VLTRA 🗡
Amen
Love watching rick steves. I watch this show with my mom. He always goes to exciting places. ❤😊
I have been visited Spain so many times, and I still love it. It so beautiful people, friendly, cultures, architectures, food. Someday I would love move there
I was just in Spain for the 3rd time in the past 4 years (Madrid this time) and I absolutely love it. Great fun to see all the places I just visited in your video journal. Beautiful country, beautiful culture, beautiful people. Can't wait to go back!
Gorgeous videos, keep on travelling Rick, love from Belgium.
What i likes about europe in general is after the continent have been the central stage for massive devastating wars it finally settled its contradictions and differences and decided to live peacefully with all the different cultures and nations it has, rich history the birthplace of the western mighty empires, and stark charming contrasts.
the part i like most about spain is galicia, north of spain, madrid, burgos, whole north...
Me too...I am from the north...León near los Picos de Europa...Is a breath taking area of high mountain, green meadows and slopes...Simple and humble people...Great food...Lots of flora and fauna...etc., etc.,
I don't why but I feel very happy to see live your life traveling across Europe!
I am visiting here now. Great way to get an appetite for the city!
Lovely liveable capital. Beautiful.
This video is about 20 years old...pre Atocha attack, pre migrants on the streets. Madrid is beautiful easy to walk and navigate city....and the best capital in Europe because all the high points are so easily accessible and acheap subway,or cab ride. A good first day orientation is to get on a HopOn Hop Off bus tour top level near Plaza del Sol and ride the circuit so you,can orient yourself to the location of the,Palace, El Retiro, Atocha train station, and the Prado.....
As a Spaniard I had forgotten how Spanish Madrid was. Now there's so many migrants. God do I wish we could go back.
Mi ciudad favorita. ¡Viva Madrid! 🇪🇸
Madrid great cit a must visit again great trips walks entertainment majestic place to revisit.
I can't wait to go there this summer.
How was it
It was great. I loved it & can't wait to go back . I was in Seville for 5 weeks. Also visited Granada & Cordoba, & spent 4 days in Madrid. Beautiful country. As a history major there is so much for me to see.
I have travelled extensively through Europe, but Sevilla is by far my favorite city, If I could live anywhere in Europe, it would be here,,, Love Spain, great food, great history and wonderful people.
Ditto - Seville followed closely by Porto are my two favourite European cities
LOVE MADRID : ) GREAT VIDEO
honestly the best video about Madrid I´ve ever seen. It depicts it´s culture, traditions and monuments perfectly. Good job!
buzzinga4, but full of stereotypes, and stereotypes and stereotypes, semi corrects for Andalusia, but erroneous for Madrid.

Absolutely love Madrid !
This year I'm visitin Madrid and Andalucia. Sooo excited🤩🤩🤩
La inquisición no puede faltar, está en el imaginario de todo buen protestante xDD
Si hijo si, esta gente se mueve por simplezas y lugares comunes, no entienden nada.
Sí. Este elemento es un protestante fanatico insidioso. Jamás habla de las matanzas de los protestantes cuando viaja por el norte de Europa. Es veneno puro. Con esa cara de tonto afable...
Si claro como la libertad de culto que tuvo su imperio no? Lo dice un latinoamericano que vive las consuencias de falta de libertad de culto raza etc etc que existio, la historia lo que es no inventos!!
@@cinderelladevil1687 Si tu pais hubiese tenido la libertad que recien 40 años goza, no se comentara lo que obvio sucedio, nada de ataques ni inventos asi fue tu pais y latinoamerica es producto de su herencia. A ver al futuro y que España siga por el buen camino!
@@albertohigueros2080 ufff Alberto. Cual es tu pais??? Uno hispanoparlante obviamente no. Agradezco tu esfuerzo pero me cuesta entender qué quieres decir.
I want to live in Madrid .
Thanks a lot steve for taping all these beautiful earning full video....kudos
I am deeply in love with Madrid!
We are leaving tomorrow for a week there, Rick, thanks a lot, fantastic.
Can't wait to come back to madrid when i have a chance and actually get to stay more than a month. Me encantan los madrileños y su ciudad tan bonita.
I have become almost addicted to these travel videos..joyous wanderlust.

Hello Regina
The inquisition killed no more than 20,000 people in 3 centuries, the French killed 21,000 in Saint Bartholomew's massacre in 1572 yet the Spaniard got the bad reputation for intolerance. Folks accuses of heresy were allowed to name 10 men and women who hated them and if one was one of the 2 accusers they were set free.
I am from Argentina ,my Grandfather fought in the civil war for francos forces ,the in WW2 for the Blue division ,I would love to visit Spain
your grandfather was on the right side of history
Can we all agree that Rick has the best job in the world?
Thanks 🙏

This is great!
Took my mom on her first European trip to Madrid years ago, she loved it. It began her love of travel afterwards.
Thank you for a most informative documentary. Most enjoyable and excellently done!
I was deeply impressed by the Valley of the Fallen. Unique architecture and atmosphere that really speaks to you; it's defiant, bold, fusing history and modernity without surrendering to the latter. Not a lot of similar areas around Europe, unfortunately.
Not similar areas around Europe fortunately, it was dedicated to the fallen of the fascist army, and built by prisoners of war. In my opinion either they convert it to a proper war memorial, or if it is not possible they should blow it up.
@@jorgemoyano1728 The far-left POWs got away very lightly, compared to what would be done to them elsewhere for doing what they did. They would have instigated total genocidal anti-church terror like in Russia or in the failed German or Hungarian revolutions in the late 1910s/1920s.
Great and informative.
