It's definitely a place you'd love to go to! Add this to your bucket list if you have one 😉 The coolest attractions were probably the Royal Palace, the football and just exploring the streets and eating the food. Even if you didn't do any of the attractions in this video, you'd still probably enjoy it due to the sheer amount of stuff that there is here.
Loved your video, just wondering about how you get some of your footage? I have read there are no photos in some places. Is that a hard rule?

Again, nice video as usual! Leave a like here. Ninh, from all your tour, which capitol is your favourite? I really like your tour on Rome. And is Madrid really that expensive? Let say with London? I am planning my tour, and Spain or Portugal is one of my top bucket list, alongside Italy.

Thanks again as always! I think Rome was one of the better capital cities, for sure. Madrid isn't that expensive compared to London, but to do absolutely everything - it adds up quickly. Doing anything at Real Madrid is definitely expensive though. If you visit Rome, Madrid and Lisbon (another video on my channel) - I think you'll have an amazing time.

I actually preferred Madrid personally. I just felt that it was a lot easier to get around, a lot less cramped in general (except for the Madrid Metro, that can be painful at times) and the attractions were a lot more interesting. Plus it felt safer and I wasn't fighting off pickpockets here. The Sagrada Familia was epic though - I've never seen a church that colourful. I'd go back just to see that again.
