Out of the blue, my sweetest sissy from another mommy throws me a curveball: an invite to Madrid! She snagged two tickets for a whirlwind 3-day trip, and naturally, I couldn’t resist! I felt this urge to jet off with her; after all, I’d been itching for a getaway after the past few months’ routine. Haha, talk about perfect timing! 😂😅
The journey kicked off from Billund on a Sunday night, April 30th, and returned the following Thursday. Expectations? Nah!
Even as a die-hard Real Madrid fan, I strolled into Madrid with absolute zilch for expectations. It’s like going to a party without expecting cake. Pure madness, right? 🤪
But, surprise! A colleague hyped up Madrid as the ultimate gem, and boy, he was spot on! Madrid, the underrated wonder, stole my heart. Three days felt like a tease; you discovered a new favorite city and realized it’s just the tip of the Madrid magic iceberg. 🎉✨🤗🤩
As my sissy had bought us the tickets for the flights and all the entertainment, I went for the hotel, and chose Francisco I Boutique, that is located literally in the heart of Madrid, on 3 minutes away from Plaza Mayor. So yeah, a great location indeed. Francisco I Boutique is a very neat, spacious, beautiful hotel and is located perfectly. There are a plenty of cafés, shops and attractions nearby, and you’ll definitely love this place. Just have a look of the hotel and our room 🤗
We ended up having a lot of plans for the following 3 days, as we didn’t want to waste our time. So we ended up seeing all these places in only 3 days:
- Santiago Bernabéu
- Museum of Illusions
- Plaza Mayor
- Sol
- Toledo (a town 1 hour from Madrid)
- Segway tour in Parque de El Retiro
- Mercado de San Miguel
- Plaza de Oriente
- Palacio Real de Madrid
- Plaza de la Armería
- Fuente de Cibeles
- Hammam al Andalus Madrid
- And some places with yummy food, helados etc. 😃
Coming up next is our visit to Santiago Bernabéu and the Museum of Illusions. Stay tuuuuuuned 😄
