Housed in a Baroque former hospice with a spectacular churrigueresque portal, this city history museum traces Madrid's evolution from a small Castilian town to a European capital. The 1830 scale model of the city is mesmerizing. Entry is free and it sits in the heart of Malasaña, making it easy to combine with the neighborhood's cafés and market. Temporary exhibitions are hit-or-miss but the permanent collection is solid.
