Madrid - best way to spend first day while jetlagged

Jump to last reply

I am planning to spend a week in Spain next June with DS 22 and DD 16, our first trip there. I will have 3 days in Madrid, including the day we fly in. I thought we could do the following

Fri - Palacio Real
walk around Old Madrid
Sat- Prado Museum
Shop
Flamenco Show
Sun- Rastro flea market
Reinia Sofia Museum
Bullfight

My main concern is Friday. We usually do start sightseeing upon arrival and fight the jetlag. Is the Palacio Real a good choice for the first day? Advice is appreciated!
