Madrid by Day

Madrid offers just about everything. By population Europe's fourth largest city, Spain's capital is a remarkably easy place to get around, with an underground system to envy and a ready supply of taxis that can be haled easily in the street. Madrid is one of Europe's top centres for shopping, packed with lively lunch spots and a plethora of cultural sites. Most visitors are surprised by how scenic and elegant a city Madrid is, especially under one of those awesome blue skies that made the city a mecca for great painters like Goya and Velazquez.

For shopping, you'll find the best high street stores on Gran Via and near Puerta del Sol, with more exclusive ultra-trendy boutiques on Calle Fuencarral and Calle Serrano. More traditional goods and crafts can be found in the smaller shops near the Plaza Mayor. Some of the world's greatest art treasures are on display in Madrid. You'll find the best of them in Madrid's three word-class museums, the Prado, Thyssen-Bornemisza, and the Reina Sofia.
   
Football fans will not want to miss out on a tour of Real Madrid's Bernabeu Stadium and the fascinating Real Madrid Museum - a fundamental part of Europe's sporting heritage. And do not deny yourself the pleasure of one of Madrid's finest institutions: the 3-hour lunch! This usually involves an aperitif around 1345, then at least three courses, copious red wine to wash down delicious cuts of meat, delicious fresh salads and cheeses, and usually a digestivo or local liqueur to send you delirious to your siesta! Lunch lovers will also be delighted to find out that Madrid, although landlocked, is acknowledged in Spain as one of the best places to eat fresh fish and seafood, entirely due to the massive demand! ¡Buen provecho! 

Tip: Walk about! Like all great cities, Madrid is best discovered on foot. Start off at Puerta del Sol, and make sure you see Plaza Mayor, the Palacio Real, La Latina, Paseo del Prado and Chueca. If you do need transport, cabs are frequent and reasonable, or use the excellent modern Metro system which is safe, quick and clean.

Madrid Bars and Nightlife

The strange thing about Madrid's nightlife is that, as eagerly attested by our team of tired-but-happy guides (party animals to a girl or boy), all clichés are true! It does go on all night, there are human traffic jams on Gran Via at 4 a.m., nobody does go out till 1 a.m., the clubs do not get going till 3.30 a.m., there is no point in expecting to get to bed before 9 a.m... It is undoubtedly the enviable energy of the party-mad Madrileños and Madrileñas that brings about this rather happy, and unique state of affairs. Our advice is just to relax, reset your body clock, and enjoy it!


The classic Noche Madrileña begins about ten with dinner or a tapas bar crawl around the streets near Puerta del Sol, Plaza Mayor, or Plaza Santa Ana. Madrid has a bewildering range of Spanish and internationl eating places, and most tourists agree that Madrid prices are very reasonable.The drinking scene begins in earnest after dinner in the cocktails bars, pubs and flamenco clubs clustered thick around hubs like Calle Huertas and Calle Espoz y Mina (again very near Puerta del Sol). The gay/mixed scene of Chueca is another favourite, as is the bohemian La latina area. To swim in a human tide of young barcrawlers and cheap booze prices, head for the grid of streets called Malasaña - home of Madrid's 80's culture renaissance, and still a friendly and laid-back drinking area. Dotted around the whole city centre you'll find cafes, cocktail bars, Spanish and Irish bars. Don't even think about a club until 3 a.m, and relish the fact that the folks back home have already been kicked out and helped to bed long before you walk in the door of your chosen Madrid night scene. Madrid has a lively club scene for all types of music and in particular nights and DJ's depend on the dates, but perennial favourites are Sala Sol, Pacha, Joy, and Low Club. Those who do not wish to party till 9 a.m. will find a range of equally suitable bar-club hybrids that close "early" about 3 a.m.

Tip: Nightlife happens very late in this all-night city, pace yourself! Waiting till late to go out does not mean you are missing anything, quite the reverse, it means you'll peak at the right time, not far too early! The top areas for going out are near Puerta del Sol, Plaza Santa Ana, and the La Latina area. Ask us about tapas tours and bar crawls!  

Real Madrid and Athletico Madrid Football

Watching mighty Real Madrid in the 85,000-capacity Bernabeu Stadium is probably the most memorable experience a football fan can have. You can make  real football fiest of it by making sure you also do a tour of the Bernabeu Stadium and Museum - not to be missed, and currently Spain's number one tourist attractions! And if Real are not playing at home on your dates, swap the all-white for the red and white and join South Madrid's vibrant and passionate supporters of Athlético Madrid at the impressive and historic Vicente Calderón stadium. Athletico are enjoying a revival, and back where they should be, riding high in the Champions League.

Tip: Careful with your travel arrangements for the Liga games! All Spanish league games are scheduled initially for Sunday kick-offs, but can be brought forward to the Saturday depending on local TV negotiations or whether teams have midweek UEFA ties the following week. Kick-offs are usually at 2000 or 2200, but can be as early as 1700. As fixture switches are usually only announced 7 or 8 days before the game, it is essential you stay the nights of Saturday and Sunday in Madrid if you wish to book in advance.
