Madrid
Let yourself be enchanted by the works of art in Madrid's famous museums. The varied architecture of the Spanish capital is just as beautiful, with highlights such as the Royal Palace. Taste your way through the varied restaurants and enjoy a romantic stroll in Retiro Park.
San Sebastián
On the coast of the Basque Country, the best way to discover San Sebastián is on a tapas dinner tour with a local guide. Great beaches invite you to swim or surf, and you can relax amidst the ornamental plants of the Parque de Cristina Enea.
Bilbao
Bilbao, the capital of the Basque Country, is considered an art stronghold. You can see this for yourself by visiting renowned museums such as the Guggenheim Museum or the Bilbao Fine Arts Museum, as well as at one of the many cultural events that take place here.
Oviedo
Beautiful buildings such as the central cathedral of San Salvador or the pre-Romanesque churches of Santa María del Naranco and San Miguel de Lillo create a wonderful atmosphere in the Asturian capital of Oviedo. The town is also known for its gastronomic specialties.
Santiago de Compostela
Santiago de Compostela is known as the end point of the Way of St. James, but it has much more to offer. The cathedral is spectacular with its ornate façade and opulent interior. Try Galician specialties such as mussels or octopus in the restaurants.
Salamanca
The golden-colored stone from which the historic buildings of Salamanca are built gives the city a special flair. The Plaza Mayor, the university and the city's cathedrals provide a great backdrop for walks for two.

Other idyllic places in Spain
Seville
Seville often appears on lists of the most romantic cities in the world, and rightly so. Here you will find beautiful plazas with enchanting fountains and the sounds of the Spanish guitar in many places.
Explore the typical Andalusian buildings, including the Gothic cathedral. Enjoy the idyllic setting among the orange trees of the Plaza de Santa Cruz or attend one of the many flamenco shows.
Barcelona
Barcelona is ideal for a honeymoon. The colorful Gaudí buildings underline the joie de vivre that surrounds this metropolis. Take a dip in the sea, toast with a glass of wine or hike up the Tibidabo for a great view.
Spend a lovely afternoon in the Labyrinth d'Horta or stroll through the historic alleyways of the more than 2,000-year-old Gothic quarter.
Granada
In Granada, the Alhambra rises majestically in front of the Sierra Nevada mountains. Immerse yourself in the magical atmosphere of the impressive medieval fortress. We particularly recommend the Nasrid Palace, Generalife and La Alcazaba.
Picturesque cobbled streets that wind around old buildings and courtyards can be found in the Albaicín district. Don't miss a flamenco show in the caves of Sacramonte.

The best time to travel to Spain is between May and October. This is when it is warm and dry throughout the country. Perfect for beach vacations with the family, but also active vacations and city breaks.

Spain is widely regarded as a safe destination where tourists are warmly welcomed. However, certainty in terms of safety always varies and can differ locally. As everywhere, travelers should take certain precautions, for example with regard to valuables. The current political and social situation is stable, but a continuous review of travel and safety advice is always recommended to stay up to date.
In Spain, Spanish, often referred to as Castilian (Castellano), is the official and predominant language. However, the country has a variety of regional languages and dialects, including Catalan, Galician and Basque, which have official status in their respective autonomous communities. English is widely spoken in tourist areas and is often used in communication with travelers.
