About Madrid
Madrid sits at 667 metres above sea level — the highest capital in the European Union — which gives it dramatically clear light in summer and genuinely cold winters that many visitors do not expect. The Paseo del Arte boulevard connects the Prado Museum (Velazquez, Goya, El Greco, Rubens), the Reina Sofia (Picasso's Guernica, Dali, Miro), and the Thyssen-Bornemisza (Van Gogh, Monet, Hopper) within 15 minutes' walk — one of the highest concentrations of world-class art on a single street in the world. The Retiro Park, Madrid's answer to Central Park, contains the Crystal Palace, a boat lake, and shaded paths that make it the city's primary public space on weekend afternoons. Madrid's late schedule — dinner after 9pm, clubs open until 6am — is not a cliche but a genuine structural feature of the city's social life. Barajas Airport (MAD) is Spain's largest hub with Iberia and Vueling as the dominant carriers, well connected to Latin America and across Europe. For intra-European flights, January-March and November are when Madrid fares drop most sharply; summer (July-August) brings a 30-40% premium driven by both inbound tourism and Spanish domestic demand. Toledo (25 min by AVE), Segovia (30 min by AVE), and Avila (90 min) are the three strongest day trips by high-speed rail, with Toledo being the most rewarding for its El Greco paintings and medieval Muslim-Christian-Jewish architectural synthesis.
Where to stay in Madrid
How the main neighbourhoods compare, based on trip type.
- La LatinaBest for first visit
The oldest residential neighbourhood in central Madrid is a strong base for a first visit. The Sunday El Rastro flea market fills the streets around Calle Ribera de Curtidores, and the tapas circuit along Cava Baja and Cava Alta runs from early evening until well past midnight. La Latina is within walking distance of the Prado, the Thyssen, and the Royal Palace, making it possible to cover most of the main sights without using the metro on a 3-night trip.
Metro: Line 5 (La Latina) · Airport: Around 35-40 min by metro from Barajas · Historic, tapas culture, lively evenings
- MalasanaBest for nightlife
The neighbourhood around Plaza del Dos de Mayo was the epicentre of the Movida Madrileña in the 1980s and has retained one of the city's most active late-night scenes. Independent bars, vinyl shops, and concert venues concentrate along Calle Fuencarral and the surrounding streets. The area is also close to Chueca to the east, which has an active LGBTQ+ nightlife scene. Most venues don't fill until midnight and stay open until 5 or 6 in the morning - not a neighbourhood suited to early-morning departures.
Metro: Lines 1, 5 (Tribunal, Noviciado) · Indie bars, late nights, creative scene
- SalamancaBest for longer stays
The upscale district east of the Retiro Park is a comfortable base for a stay of a week or more. Calle Serrano is the main shopping street, and the neighbourhood has a reliable network of restaurants, cafes, and food markets. The Retiro Park is a 5-minute walk from most addresses and provides one of the city's best urban park experiences. Access to the Prado and Thyssen is a 15-minute walk through the park. Quieter than the old town in the evenings without feeling distant.
