Every year, Madrid hosts a military parade to mark Spain's National Day, a day that honors the expansion of Spanish culture and language beyond the European continent. The Armed Forces, Civil Guard, National Police, and maritime rescue services take part in the parade, along with displays of ground vehicles and aircraft. The event kicks off with the arrival of the King and Queen, who reviews the troops and greets members of the government. Other highlights of the parade include a paratrooper descending with a giant Spanish flag, the Spanish Legion marching with their pet goats, a solemn flag-raising ceremony to honor those who have died in service to their country, and a flypast by the Spanish Air Force.

It&rsquo;s essential and convenient to purchase the ticket in advance in order to minimise the queuing time. It&rsquo;s easy to use and just show the QR code for entry.

The salvation of the hot summer weather is to come to the exhibition. Anyway, people who understand art and those who don&rsquo;t should be able to find their own aesthetics here.

Taking photos is not allowed, and there will be staff to remind you all the time

Bought a ticket for a designated time, and go at most half an hour in advance, don&#39;t go too early.

It&#39;s still worth seeing, the Bernabeu dream comes true, not only football, Real Madrid basketball and other events also have exhibitions to see, but those well-known golden age players in childhood have no display area, only stay in the photos

I walked quite fast in the whole process, it took nearly two hours

If you don&#39;t want to take a virtual photo, just walk from the right, tell him that it&#39;s not necessary. Otherwise, you have to queue up for a photo and then charge for it to be washed

At the last exit, you can buy beer and snacks to sit in the audience to simulate the experience, making up for the regrets of the off-season

On May 30, 2025, we spent a thrilling and exciting night at the Las Ventas bullring in Madrid. Watching Marco Pe`rez a talented teenager born in 2007 1V6 bullfighting, this bullfighting known as the &quot;old bull&quot; is called a bullfighting that happens in 20 years, I have the opportunity to watch it on the spot (after learning the news this morning, through friends in Madrid, find a way to get the ticket, There is also a doctor who reads Spanish bullfighting art in Madrid, a Beijing brother&#39;s live guide and reconciliation) and admired a wonderful, ups and downs, twenty-year-old bullfighting, the whole venue is full, and also appreciates the Spaniard&#39;s fever, so lucky, Very happy and excited to have such an experience 🤩😎

Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía

M14***17

It is well worth going. The museum has a rich collection, including many world-class art treasures, such as paintings by Picasso and Dali. A few hours inside is not enough, especially for the elderly, free tickets, very friendly. It would be a pity to miss this museum.
