The best way to get around Madrid is by metro, which is the fastest and most convenient mode of transportation. A single trip ticket costs €1.50, while a 10-trip ticket costs €12.20. Taxis are also a good option, with an initial fare of €2.40 and a cost of €1.07 per kilometer travelled. It is advisable to avoid driving, as parking is hard to come by in the city center and traffic can be quite congested.
If you have more time, consider visiting the Royal Palace of Madrid, a magnificent palace with beautiful gardens. For a unique experience, visit the Campo del Moro Park, a peaceful park with peacocks roaming freely. Also, consider taking a day trip to the nearby historical city of Toledo. If you have less time, consider skipping the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, as it's similar to the Prado Museum. Alternatively, you can spend the day at the Retiro Park, a great place to relax and people watch.
