Madrid, Spain’s lively and cosmopolitan capital, is home to over 3,4 million people within the municipality and serves as the heart of the country’s culture, politics and economy. With its blend of historic quarters, grand boulevards and modern neighbourhoods, the city offers endless possibilities.
From wandering through areas like the Habsburg quarter or the iconic Gran Vía, to relaxing in El Retiro Park or shopping in the elegant Salamanca district, every corner has something to offer. Add to that the city's thriving food scene and its world-class museums, and you’ll find it impossible to fit everything into just a few days.
