Spain’s capital is home to some of the world’s best food, museums, and architecture.

Madrid has some of the best tapas in the world, and one place to add to your itinerary is Sidería El Tigre. It’s often crowded, but the entire plate of tapas you receive will be worth the people.

Another must on your to-do list? Museo del Prado. It’s one of the most popular and recognized places in the art world, with 3 million visitors each year. Here is where you will fall in love with ancient paintings.

For those of you in New York City and Washington, DC, you can get to Madrid for less than $400 round-trip.

New York offers the cheapest option on Iceland’s Play Airlines. There is a long layover in Keflavík, Iceland, but you can look at it as two destinations for the price of one.

Use Sept. 13 through Sept. 18 as your travel dates in Skyscanner for a round-trip ticket priced at $353.
