The Spanish Soul of Art and Entertainment
The modern Madrid is one of the greenest cities in Europe and the most popular destination in Spain. Whether you want to experience its legendary nightlife or a flamenco show, this is the place to be.
The renowned Prado Museum holds one of the world’s finest art collections with iconic paintings by El Greco, Velázquez and Goya. For a more modern touch, the Museo Reina Sofia houses works by Picasso and Dali.
Start your evening at Puerta del Sol, one of the city’s busiest spots. Make some room in your stomach for great tapas and sangria in La Latina district, south of the city’s most famous plaza, Plaza Mayor.
Real Madrid plays at Santiago Bernabeu and Atlético Madrid competes at Vicente Calderón Stadium, two opportunities that no sports fan will want to miss. The popular Salamanca district is a great place to look for boutique gifts and unique shops.
Thanks to great public transportation system, getting to the city center from Madrid Barajas International Airport is very easy. Whether you’re looking for luxury hotels, budget hostels or comfy apartments, Booking.com has a perfect place to stay for your Madrid holiday.

Having been quite a few times between work and leisure,...
Having been quite a few times between work and leisure, Madrid is a typical tourist city that caters to money spending tourists with a good amount of attitude. That being said, Madrid has a lot to offer for a variety of interests. Seeing live football/soccer was a great experience, the art options (Prado and artist communities) were enjoyable, do your research on good restaurants and branch out from the center for authentic food, get some jamón, croquetas, morcilla de Burgos.

Do not miss the Thyssen museum.
Do not miss the Thyssen museum. Such a wealth of fabulous art. Overshadowed by the Prado across the street but every bit as good or better. No crowds and one of the best museum gift shops we’ve been in.

Of all the cities I am privileged to visit - and I am very lucky to visit many in my global job - Madrid is the most easy and welcoming to the solo traveler. Pick a city centre hotel near Plaza Santa Ana and the world is within 10 minutes walk in any direction. Every door invites entry. Just love returning to Madrid.

The Thyssen museum was great, beautiful building and amazing art, not so big that you couldn't cover it all in half a day. We enjoyed walking and soaking up the architecture and atmosphe, however I did get my purse stolen from a secure backpack so beware in busy places and wear your backpack on your front on the metro and in crowded areas. We reported the theft to the police who were very helpful. Fortunately only our cash was taken, not our credit cards. It did spoil the day but not the whole stay. Visit the artist Scollera's house in Chamberi, it's well worth a visit, lovely paintings, a superb house and pretty gardens.
If you are in that area go to the Cafe Comercial for lunch, not cheap but excellent food in a lovely environment. Also Casa Alberta in Huertes was very good. Try the many tapas bars beyond Plaza Major and the Mercado de Saint Miguel for a really foodie experience.

Old city feel and modern all in one.
Old city feel and modern all in one. Vibrant anytime of the day and
Full of life, so many places to immerse yourself in any mood you have, wander on quiet little streets or ones full of wandering tourists. Great foods and drinks everywhere from cheap eats to fine dining. There’s so much more in Madrid, you think of it this city has it all. I’d love to go back and do it all over again.
“The hotel was perfect for our break, it was ideally located only 30 minutes from the city centre, the outdoor pool was brilliant especially in Madrid, the staff were extremely friendly and cooperative and could not be more helpful, the room we stayed in was huge for the 4 of us, ”
“Amazing hotel in the center of Madrid. In the best safest and cleanest neighborhood within walking distance to all the spots like prado museum and reina Sofia. So comfortable and luxurious and clean is amazing for the price you pay. Do the breakfast, it's to die for!”
“Me and my Wife went to Spain for a 3 weeks vacation and of all the Hotels that we've stayed in Met Madrid was the best!
Their staff especially Diana is on point and gave us the utmost excellent service we were treated like vip's.
The rooms and bathrooms are very clean and the location is perfect! Definitely money well spent!!!”
“Hotel is good for one night to get to airport. We returned our rented car at airport night before and used hotel free shuttle back to hotel. Used taxi (which are stationed outside all the time) to explore Madrid night before leaving Spain.”
“Simple basic room, excellent value. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Right in the heart of Madrid and around the corner from the Mercado de San Miguel food market, which I highly recommend you visit for breakfast, lunch or dinner or all! Such delicious tapas, best I had in Spain I'd even dare to say. ”
