Madrid Travel Guide & Tips

EuropeChevron

SpainChevron

MadridChevron

Rising amid the central sierras of Spain, this is the late-night city of Dalí and Hemingway, Ronaldo and Picasso, and those fast-talking ’80s melodramas by Pedro Almodóvar. There is imperial baroque, and post-industrial cityscapes, street markets and seriously good museums. Despite its size and capital status, Madrid was often overlooked by those heading to Barcelona and the coast. But it emerged from Spain’s economic downturn with its head held up high and a renewed appetite for inventive menus, opening up new green spaces such as the Madrid Rio and fresh-faced arts hubs. Plenty of hip cafés, yes, like the ones on Calle Ponzano, but also those family-run joints that have endured for decades—where it’s possible to chow down for a handful of euros. Rather than meeting it head-on, best to approach it through its different barrios, all with different characters, from upscale Salamanca to unbuttoned Chueca and multicultural Lavapiés. And to really feel part of the scene, step out on “La Marcha,” hopping from one vermouth bar to another all evening long and making friends along the way.

      City of Madrid (Spain)

      Madrid is the capital of Spain and the largest city in the country. This is a modern and noisy metropolis, located almost in the center of the Iberian Peninsula. Madrid is the third largest city in the European Union. It constantly buzzes like a disturbed beehive and is filled with vigorous activity and life that does not stop even at night. The capital of Spain may lack the wildness of Barcelona and the charm of Andalusia, but the energy and atmosphere of the city, its cultural and artistic heritage is definitely a reason to visit it.

      Madrid’s architecture is a bit like Paris: wide avenues and beautiful monumental buildings, squares, parks and museums. But, despite the rich history, there are few symbolic attractions that are in the same Paris, Rome or Barcelona. Madrid can rightly be considered one of the cultural capitals of Europe. Over the centuries, the Spanish crown has accumulated masterpieces of art, which are now exhibited in numerous museums. Also, the capital of Spain is famous for its cuisine and nightlife. The concentration of nightlife (clubs and bars) is off scale here.

      Best visiting time

      The best time to visit Madrid is spring and autumn (off-season). It can be very hot here in summer and quite cold in winter.

      History

      The first mention of the city dates back to the 10th century, when the Emir of Toledo Mohammed I founded the Majirit fortress here. A small town grew up around the fortress, which was conquered by Alfonso VI in the 11th century. From the name of the old Arab fortress most likely comes the modern name of the city.

      Until the 16th century, Madrid was a provincial Spanish city, the development of which largely depended on the state of relations between the Arabs and the Spaniards. Everything changed in 1561, when King Philip II moved the capital of Spain here.

      Avenues of Madrid

      The golden age of Madrid began under King Charles III of the Bourbon dynasty. At this time, famous architects were invited, who significantly changed the appearance of the city. Madrid received many neoclassical buildings and was greatly improved. In 1808, Madrid was captured by Bonaparte’s troops. A few years later, a war of liberation began, which led to a revolution. Subsequently, Ferdinand VII became king of Spain. Under his daughter Isabella II, almost all city fortifications and gates were demolished in order to ensure the rapid growth of the city.

      Madrid underwent further major reconstruction in the late 19th and early 20th century. The capital of Spain received wide avenues and spacious squares, and the Art Nouveau style was the soloist in architecture. In the 40s of the 20th century, many historical buildings and monuments were damaged during the civil war. After Franco’s death and the end of his dictatorship, Spain became a constitutional monarchy.

      Getting there

      Getting to Madrid is easy. This is one of the largest transport centers in Europe. The airport is located 13 km from the center and has four terminals. The most convenient way to get to the historical center are the 24-hour express buses that will take you to the main train station (Atocha). The fare is 5 euros. Payment in cash to the driver. The cost of a taxi is about 30 euros. A 10-minute walk from terminal 1 there is a metro stop (line 5 – green line), which takes you directly to the center. You can also take line 8 (pink line) to Nuevos Ministerios station and then with transfers to the center.

      Streets of Madrid

      The capital of Spain is connected by rail with almost all major cities in Spain and Europe: Barcelona, ​​Paris, Milan, Valencia, Lisbon, etc. Bus service is also well developed.

      Public transport in Madrid is considered one of the best in Europe. The length of the underground lines is second only to the London Underground. Metro and buses have a single ticket. A ticket for five stations costs 1.5 euros, for ten – 2 euros. You can buy a ticket for 1,2,3 … 7 days. A few words about Madrid traffic – we strongly do not recommend moving around the city by car, because in the city center there are often problems with parking and traffic jams.

      Shopping

      Shopping areas and markets:

      • Sol-Salamanca (Gran Vía area) is the most popular shopping area. On Calle Ortega you can find many branded and designer shops. Here is one of the largest shopping centers in Spain – El Corte Inglés.
      • Chueca (Fuencarral Street) – the most avant-garde and modern part of Madrid. Here you can find many shops and restaurants.
      • Calle Toledo – shops with traditional Spanish goods.
      • El Rastro is the largest flea market on Sundays.
      • El Mercado de San Miguel – traditional market.

      Autumn in Madrid

      In the suburbs of Madrid at Calle Juan Ramón Jimenez 3, Las Rozas is a large outlet.

      Food

      Madrid is famous for its food and typical Spanish cuisine. Traditional dishes worth trying:

      • Gallinejas – roast lamb
      • Callos a la Madrileña – spiced beef in a pot
      • Cocido Madrileño – stew with chickpeas and vegetables
      • Oreja de Cerdo – pork ears in garlic
      • Sopa de Ajo – garlic soup

      Traditional products worth trying meat products (eg jamon), Spanish wine.

      We do not recommend buying the famous paella in street restaurants.

      The main attractions and the most interesting places in Madrid.

      Puerta del Sol

      Puerta del Sol (“Gate of the Sun”) is one of the most famous squares in Madrid and one of the busiest places in the Spanish capital. It is the central point of the city and the radial center of all Spanish roads (Kilometer Zero). In the Middle Ages, there was one of the city gates, which were oriented to the east. Puerta del Sol received its modern form during the reign of Isabella II.

      One of the symbols of Madrid – sculpture “Bear and fruit tree”

      Attractions:

      • Large equestrian statue of Charles III.
      • The 20-ton statue “The Bear and the Strawberry Tree” is one of the symbols of the capital of Spain.

In the 16th century, the kings of Spain built the Alcazar Castle, which was destroyed by fire on Christmas Eve in 1734. The new building began to be built under Felippe V. The famous Versailles served as a model. The palace became the official residence in 1764. Spanish marble and mahogany were used for interior decoration. The interior is decorated with frescoes and paintings by the leading artists of that time – Giakino, Tiepolo, etc. Inside the palace there is an armory and a royal pharmacy.

      Plaza de Oriente

      Plaza de Oriente (East Square) is a square on the east side of the Royal Palace. It was formed in the first half of the 19th century. In the center stands a monument to Philip IV. Also on the square are sculptures that are widely known as Gothic kings. The collection of sculptures includes twenty pieces, corresponding to five kings of the Visigoths and fifteen kings of Spain during the Middle Ages. The building of the Opera House is located on the square.

      About the performance

      “In the process of rehearsals in our creative laboratory, new, sometimes experimental forms of reproducing the wonderful prose of Anton Pavlovich Chekhov and Ivan Alekseevich Bunin appear, transferred to the stage plane, whether it is a drama theater with its inherent psychoanalysis or a plastic theater based on the fact that the great Mikhail Chekhov called “the theater of psychological gesture.” We try to open up new facets for the viewer, and sometimes new meanings in well-known works,” notes Nikita Mikhalkov, the chief director of the performance.
