Explore haute couture and ready-to-wear fashion in the Salamanca shopping avenue known as the “Golden Mile.” This fashion district is located between Ortega y Gasset Street and Serrano Street. The Golden Mile showcases both Spanish and international designers. Guests of Wellington Hotel & Spa Madrid receive exclusive discounts for Golden Mile boutiques.

Tour the city’s world-class museums. Three museums – the Prado Museum, Reina Sofía Museum, and Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum – make up the Salamanca district’s “Golden Triangle of Art.”

Take in Spanish cultural heritage at the capital city’s three historic performance halls: Teatro Real, Teatro Lara, and Teatro Español. One of the most prestigious opera houses in Europe and located across from the royal palace, Teatro Real has stewarded grand operatic traditions since 1738. Originally a public open-air theater, Teatro Español’s building dates to the 16th century and has since been home to Spain’s greatest directors and playwrights. Nicknamed “Don Cándido's Candy Box” for its founding patron, the charming Teatro Lara is a 460-seat theater beloved by locals since its opening in 1880.
