Unique Madrid Experiences

Overview

Madrid is a flourishing, vibrantly colorful city. In terms of decadent arts and rich, refined food scenes, a cutting-edge culture and electric nightlife, there are few cities that can match the golden Spanish capital. Just take a stroll through the elegant boulevards and immaculate, expansive parks, and it’s easy to see why.

Madrid is often overshadowed by its northern neighbour Barcelona, but there’s really no reason why it should be. Whilst there are no truly iconic landmarks, think the Colisseum, the Sagrada Familiar or the Eiffel Tower,  Madrid more than holds its own with an artistic pedigree that can rival any city.

If you’re looking for an aesthetic treat, Madrid is a must. Whether its eye-wateringly beautiful vistas from one of the city’s many rooftops, stunning architectural gems, or world-class art by Picasso, Goya or Velázquez that sits in Madrid’s legendary art galleries, you’re absolutely spoiled for choice.

Whilst Madrid has certainly got the sense of sight covered, it’s definitely not lacking in the taste department, and is undeniably one of Europe’s leading lights when it comes to food. Embracing creativity, innovation and artistic flair, Madrid is the hub of the Spanish culinary revolution. From tapas in historic temples, paella in refined restaurants and churros in a thriving market, Madrid is a maze of culinary delights.

When it comes to the nightlife, Madrid isn’t letting up any time soon. Perfectly complimenting the rich gastronomic scene, the city seems to have more bars than anywhere else on earth, from glitzy cocktail establishments to authentic local hangouts and cosy taverns. When night falls upon Madrid, the city springs to life, and an irresistible energy has you bouncing from bustling square to vibrant alleyway in a daze of addictive merriment.

    Best Time to Visit Madrid

    General

    Winter – Pretty cold. Of course, the low season will mean you miss most of the tourists and crowds, but it can be bitterly cold, and the city settles into a pretty sleepy atmosphere.

    Spring/Autumn – Really pleasant weather, smaller crowds and the city is just stirring into life, a great time to visit.

    Summer – Scorching temperatures, although not too humid, and lots of tourists. Madrid has really burst into life in the summer, but prices may be a little steeper and you might find yourself queueing for most of the attractions.

    • In many cases, less than 10% of the money spent on a holiday actually ends up in the pockets of the local community. Tourism leakage is a serious problem, and it means many people are not able to reap the benefits of the tourism happening in their own back yard. We work with small, local suppliers and ensure that they receive a fair amount for every holiday we sell.

    • The climate is changing, and the travel industry is a key frontier in this battle. On the one hand, pollution from travel, erosion from over-tourism, and waste from careless travelling can make the problem much worse. But on the other hand, travel affords unique opportunities to help people connect with the natural environment in a close-up, personal way, and support locals in protecting their local environment. We are committed to offering experiences that match our sustainability criteria.

    We educate and provide guidance to travellers, hosts and agents.

    • Travel can help build a better world, but it has to be done properly. We are not just finding experiences that are better for local communities and better for the planet. We are committed to helping everyone travel better. From the moment they book with us until the moment they arrive home, we actively help our travellers with resources and guidance. This helps them travel more mindfully, and ultimately, offers a deeper, more rewarding experience.

    Top tips for visiting Madrid

    Discover the city by foot

    Most of the attractions within the city are within walking distance to each other. The architecture throughout the city has so much character that it would be a shame to miss it by travelling on the metro.

    Tipping

    Expected in Madrid. Most restaurants would expect at 10% tip. More often than not the bill does not include the tip.

    Pickpocketing

    Like in many major European cities, pickpocketing is fairly prominent. Stay vigilant and be sensible when carrying around valuables and money.
