If you're eager to take in the history of your new surroundings, spend an afternoon at Carrion Building.
This historic landmark is free to visit, so you can have a good time without worrying about your travel budget. However, Carrion Building isn't the only place to visit in and around the riverside ward of Palacio. With Prado Museum, Plaza Mayor and Santiago Bernabeu Stadium nearby, you may want to stay a little longer.
