Off The Beaten Path: Planetario de Madrid (Madrid Planetarium)
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • I like space so the planetarium was on my agenda. It was nice to see but unfortunately those who don't speak Spanish miss everything because all the available information, films, etc. are in Spanish and without subtitles or translations. However, if you enjoy astronomy and space you might want to give it a chance as it has free admission. I particularly enjoyed one of their experiment machines, where you were to balance 2 weights by moving the "rod" far enough so that the weights are balanced. Very nice!

    Practical info: Free admission.
    Address: Avenida del Planetario, 16, Parque Tierno Galván.
    Access: Nearest metro and commuter train station: Méndez Alvaro.

    Monuments: Monumento a Don Quijote
  • Tip Rating:
  • Don Quijote is one of the most famous characters in Spanish literature, created by Miguel de Cervantes, one of Spain's most important authors. Reading Don Quijote was a must for me (and other Latinamericans I've spoken to) at school so visiting this monument was a given on my Madrid trip :)

    Access: nearest metro station: Plaza de España, a few steps from La Gran Vía.

     Enjoyed reading your Madrid page - Memories of places I've visited, and those that I need to visit. Like you, Madrid wasn't high on my 'Must See list' but went there in 2007/8 as Springsteen was playing there. Hope to be back one day Best Wishes, Sue
