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.

We loved walking around in Madrid and we learned to move around on the subway (metro), too. If you have a museum lover and a museum avoider, just split up and do your own thing. Prado -- at least 3 hours and follow the Rick Steves guide book for Prado and for his city walks. We also enjoyed the Naval History Museum (which I'm sure some wouldn't think to explore, but a winner), Reina Sophie (especially to see Guernica). Just walk and visit the squares. Plaza Mayor is very touristy, but visit anyway & read up on the history. Wish we had had more time for Parque Buen Retiro and the Botanical Garden. Next time! We climbed to the top of the Cathedral near the Royal Palace and enjoyed a wonderful view. We took the train in and out of Atocha train station to go to Leon. Many good day trips from here, too.

I did not like that I had to reconnect to WIFI manually after a certain amount of time if I didn’t leave the hostel. And I was told that I could use a credit card for a car service that was ordered from me and there was trouble with that at the airport. But otherwise I had a pleasant stay, it was very clean.

Is very easy to walk everywhere you need to in Madrid, but the metro system is excellent, so are the trains .
Make sure you get out around 7 PM when the whole city is returning from work, going out to eat- it’s very lively, wonderful to watch and the people are so friendly.
Make sure to check out the Mercado de San Miguel

Beautiful.
Beautiful. Everything was centrally located. The metro was the very best in terms of price. Get the tourist zone A pass 1-7 days choose your duration. Buy according to the length of your stay, the pass gives you unlimited rides for each day. It was a better option than getting the hop on and off bus in my opinion.

We had been here before, so we went to see the things we hadn't seen before. We had a good time, especially meeting up with others attending our program. We had a few problems with the metro vending machines but we liked riding the metro. We could not find a good place to have breakfast near our hotel.

Great city, very beautiful architecture.
Great city, very beautiful architecture. We are in love with it. Just an accident destroyed our holiday, the last day our iphone was stolen from a coffeteria in the centre. Watch out, the thiefs are good professionals and watch you in advance.
“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, ”
“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. ”
“Great value for money in a surpringly cool part of Madrid Centre (La Latina). I don't think I'll return to the hotels near Gran Via et al., this is the place to be, a bit away from the main tourist targets.”
“Located in the centre of old Madrid, right by the Descalzas convent (a must-see hidden jewel). Only a few steps away from the Plaza Mayor and the Gran Via.
The hotel is in a refurbished old Madrid building, still featuring a working classic elevator (in addition to a modern one), which brings back memories of many years ago.
Breakfast, buffet style, was excellent.
Staff very friendly, helpful and well trained to cater to all styles of visitors.”
“GREAT LOCATION, CLOSE TO METRO TO ACCESS MANY PLACES AROUND, EASY WALKING DISTANCE TO MOST ALL BIG ATTRACTIONS. BUFFET BREAKFAST IS GOOD, BUT A BIT HIGH PRICE WISE. ROOMS ARE BIG ENOUGH AND BED IS COMFORTABLE.”
“The location is fantastic, in the midst of the down town, easily accessible to all the historical sites, market, restaurants and commercial district. The staff is friendly, helpful and courteous, breakfast is excellent.”
