Things to do on a Madrid City Break?

Start off in Plaza Mayor. This famous square is the heart of Madrid’s historical district. Originally a bustling 15th century marketplace, today it’s the headquarters of Madrid’s tourism centre. See “El Oso y el Madruño” which is Madrid’s iconic statue translated as ‘the Bear and the Strawberry Tree’. It’s the city’s meeting place and a big photo hotspot. Browse at El Rastro which is a market where every Sunday, it seems as though all of Madrid comes to one place. This giant flea market sells almost everything that you could imagine.

What is Madrid nightlife like?

With trendy bars, happening nightclubs and so much more, Madrid is the place to be for the ultimate night on the town. And of course, it’s worth keeping in mind that nights go late here. Madrileños will often head out to the clubs around the same time that people in other countries would be calling it a night and heading home! If you can keep up, nightlife in Madrid can be one of the most memorable parts of your trip.
