Parque del Retiro
When you get tired of sightseeing, Madrid's many parks are great
places to escape for a few hours. The most central and most popular
of them is El Retiro , a delightful mix of formal gardens
and wider open spaces. Nearby, in addition to the Prado,
Thyssen-Bornemisza and Reina Sofía galleries, are a number of the
city's smaller museums , plus the startlingly peaceful
Jardines Botánicos .
