-Puerta del Sol/ Plaza Mayor/ Calle Grandma Via:

Puerta del Sol is literally in the guts of the city, and as the hub of tourist activity this place acts. There is a principal plaza, touristy shops, and a lot of bars and restaurants. From the main plaza you can go to Plaza Mayor, which is another big plaza surrounded by outdoor cafes and stuffed with street performers and visitors. Slim cobblestone streets encompass Plaza Mayor, and they are great to look at. Plaza mayor is just about the most touristy place to get within the city and is an excellent place to start your visit to Madrid.

On the other side of Puerta del Sol are some other newer shopping streets which have been blocked off to traffic. You'll arrived at Gran Via, one of the largest shopping streets in the city, if you walk through these streets. Grandma Via includes a good choice of department stores and chain restaurants, alongside sex shops and strip clubs. Gran Via is the most energetic road in the town and may be worth looking into.

-Reina Sofia art museum/ Prado art museum:

The Reina Sofia will be the more interesting of both museums I think, because it houses works from Picasso, Dali, and a few other wild artists. You may do the whole museum in less than two hours and feel like you have seen anything, unless you are an art fan. The public is free on Saturdays.

The Prado may be the older and more popular of both galleries. It's largely full of classical Spanish paintings, nevertheless you also can discover Rembrandts and Renaissance works in-the public. The Prado is free on Sundays.

These museums are a short walk from each other and it'd be easy-to do both in a single day.
