Known for its history, art scene, and incredible culinary delights, Madrid is a must for any traveler. When you’re not eating and drinking your fill (or indulging in a much-needed siesta), get inspired by visiting one of the many murals, rooftop bars, parks, and museums the city offers. Most of Madrid’s main attractions sit within walking distance from one another, so with a little determination, you can tackle them all in just a few days. Tapas bars, busy plazas, outdoor markets, and hidden hotspots, taking in all Madrid has to offer can be daunting, especially if you plan to dabble in the city’s other major claim to fame: sundown-to-sunup nightlife. From people-watching at the world-famous Plaza Mayor to prestigious art at Museo del Prado and exquisite tapas and unmissable rooftop bars, these are the 20 things you won’t want to miss on your next trip to the sunny capital.

Connecting the island to more than 35 major cities across Europe and the Mediterranean. working with partner airlines, and offering convenient connections to many more destinations in North America, North Africa and the Middle East, Airmalta has been providing a genuine Maltese experience to all its passengers. THE PAST 1974 proved to be a momentous year for our country. Airmalta commenced operations on 1 April, and Malta declared itself a republic later in the year. The setting up of Air Malta was one of the first signs of a young nation fostering its identity and finding a new international voice. By creating reliable air links to and from key European cities, Airmalta was able to support the economic and cultural development of the Islands. As standard bearer for the nation, their remit has always been that of an ambassador for the Maltese Islands. Merħba AIR MALTA THE AIRLINE OF THE MALTESE ISLANDS.

THE PRESENT Modern day Malta is a cosmopolitan country which blends time-honoured Mediterranean culture with a spirited, contemporary vibe. Just as the country has changed, so has the ailrine. It embarked on a major review of strategy and operations. As part of the process, Airmalta has in fact launched a fresh brand identity. A colourful new livery which can be seen across the fleet. The new look is more than skin deep. It reflects accurately a more pro- active role as the destination airline of the Maltese Islands; a company dedicated 100 per cent to serving the Islands’ visitors and residents. The mission is even more ambitious, the airline aim to become recognised as one of the world’s leading destination airlines. THE FUTURE More than ever, Airmalta is at the heart of the Islands and its people echo a shared sense of optimism for the future.

ESCAPE TO THE CORDIAL CHARM OF MADRID

MADRID 2022

An Artistic City Few cities boast an artistic pedigree quite as pure as Madrid’s: many art lovers return here again and again. For centuries, Spanish royals showered praise and riches upon the finest artists of the day, from home-grown talents such as Goya and Velázquez to Flemish and Italian greats. Masterpieces by these and other Spanish painters such as Picasso, Dalí and Miró now adorn the walls of the city’s world-class galleries. Three in particular are giants – the Museo del Prado, Centro de Arte Reina Sofía and Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza – but in Madrid these are merely good places to start. A Culinary Capital Rising above the humble claims of its local cuisine, Madrid has evolved into one of the richest culinary capitals of Europe. The city has wholeheartedly embraced all thecreativityand innovationofSpain’sgastronomicrevolution.But thisacceptance of the new is wedded to a passion for the enduring traditions of Spanish cooking, for the conviviality of the eating experience and for showcasing the infinite variety of food from every Spanish region. From tapas in sleek temples to all that’s new to sit-down meals beneath centuries-old vaulted ceilings, eating in Madrid is a genuine pleasure.

Killing the Night Madrid nights are the stuff of legend, and the perfect complement to the more sedate charms of fine arts and fine dining. The city may have more bars than any other cityonearth– acollectionof storiedcocktail bars andnightclubs that combine a hint of glamour with non-stop marcha (action). But that only goes some way to explaining the appeal of after-dark Madrid. Step out into the night-time streets of many barrios and you’ll find yourself swept along on a tide of people, accompanied by a happy crowd intent on dancing until dawn. Beautiful Architecture Madridmay lack thecachet of Paris, themonumental historyofRome, orBarcelona’s reputation for Modernista masterpieces. And no, there is no equivalent of the Eiffel Tower, Colosseumor LaSagradaFamília that youcanpoint toandsay ‘this isMadrid’. But Madrid has nothing to be envious of. Spain’s broad sweep of architectural history provides a glorious backdrop to city life, frommedieval mansions and royal palaces to the unimagined angles of Spanish contemporary architecture, from the sober brickwork and slate spires of Madrid baroque to the extravagant confections of the belle époque. Put simply, this is one beautiful city .
