Madrid on a Budget
Madrid has something to offer all sorts of budgets. Just because you don't have much to spend, it doesn't mean that there's nothing to do. In fact, you can enjoy many tourist attractions without having to break the bank. Going to the movies, visiting art exhibitions and taking in the most fascinating green areas can cost you very little. Whether it's during the week, or at the weekend, there are plenty of inexpensive things to do in the city.
