    Getting TO/AROUND: Built in the 19th century, Estación de Atocha was Madrid's first cast iron building. The elegant red façade is crowned with two winged mythical creatures (half lion, half dragon). The interior is home to an impressive indoor tropical garden. Trains depart from Atocha to destinations south of Madrid, such as Sevilla and Córdoba, in addition to Toledo. It is worth stopping by to admire the architecture and the tropical garden even if a trip is not contemplated.

    Getting TO/AROUND: Barajas Airport, one of Europe's busiest, is the landing spot for travellers arriving from distant locations. As one would expect in a country that loves creative architecture, Madrid's new Iberia terminal at Barajas is nothing short of amazing (see photo). If you have a choice of carriers, it is worth flying Iberia only to get a chance to see this new architectural marvel!
