Almudena Cathedral

One of the top things to do is head up to the cathedral’s dome for panoramic views of Madrid, especially of the Royal Palace and the city skyline.

The on-site museum displays religious artifacts, royal items, and explains the cathedral’s unique construction history.

Tourists admire the modern stained glass windows, colorful ceilings, and Neo-Gothic architecture, which contrast with more traditional European cathedrals.

For those interested, the cathedral regularly hosts masses, giving visitors a glimpse into the spiritual and cultural life of Madrid.
