Our tips for Madrid

  • Party in the park. One of Madrid’s largest public parks, the Parque El Retiro boasts glorious monuments, sculptures, rose gardens and even a crystal palace! If scenery’s not your thing, the park also hosts regular puppet shows, street performances, book fairs, yoga sessions and boat rides.
  • Have a meal deal. Look out for restaurants offering a ‘menu of the day’ (Menú del Dia). The perfect addition to your day of Madrid sightseeing, this set lunch is great value and usually consists of two tasty courses.
  • Discover Egypt. Built in 200BC, and donated to Spain by Egypt in 1968, the Temple of Debod now calls Madrid home. Visit one of the top Madrid attractions at sunset for an enchanting end to the day.

For a calmer time of year both temperature and tourist-wise, we recommend visiting during the spring (March-May) or autumn (September-November) months. Visiting during off-peak times means you’ll enjoy cheaper travel and accommodation deals too.
