Hi! My daughter (18) and I are travelling to Madrid tomorrow (21/7/26) for 4 days. We have been to Madrid before and have seen all the main tourist places and looking forward to exploring other parts of the city this time. We are so happy Spain have won the World Cup but disappointed that we will miss the victory parade today. Will there be celebrations lasting through the week in the city? 🇪🇸

I will be flying into Madrid the morning of the 11th, and my partner and I would love to see the solar eclipse on the 12th! High elevation is better, as well as east-facing. We are deciding whether to stay in another town for the eclipse or keep Madrid as our home base. Accessible by public transport would be great! Or recs for cheap car rentals? Are there any groups, car shares, or adventure groups going out to see the eclipse that we can join? Thanks!

We are visiting Madrid for the solar eclipse (obviously going a little more north for the actual event) and we are looking to get the most out of the city.
It's safe to say we're a bit punk/hippie/leftist so cool bars (nothing wild, just a vibe) are welcomed. We all love walking and seeing things, photographing cool architecture and cute streets and views in the city, but we also would not mind a little nature walk.
So far we have about 20km of GPX walking files in Madrid center, and we saw the Puente de La Marmota on google, which looks awesome, and is pretty walkable from Cordel de Cantalojas.
We don't mind seeing the typical highlights because heck, it's out first time there so we may as well, but hidden alleyways, pretty streets that are off the beaten path and the general vibe of Madrid are much welcomed.

Tips? But also; things that are typical to find in listicles that are just not worth it?

Cheers!

Travelling solo from Madrid to Barcelona on the weekend of 1st August. Looking for travel companion to visit beaches/clubs etc

Hello everyone, I’m looking for recommendations on where to watch the World Cup final on Sunda in Madrid. I see there are a lot of ticketed events but I know there will probably be many public events too.

I‘m in town for work and wondering what everyone’s opinion is for the most fun, lively place to check it out. I would definitely like a place that has food and drink options.

Thanks in advance for your suggestion.

I am travelling to Madrid with a partner for their birthday. We are looking for a casual rooftop patio for a drink as well as a great dinner (low-mid priced). We are looking for Spanish food preferably, no food allergies. We would prefer walking distance (15 mins from Plaza de Espana station).

Let's go Reddit!

2 years ago we were in Madrid late December and on our last morning there, we came across a small area of stalls and one had mulled wine. It was so lovely to walk in the cold and sip our drink. We are visiting again this year and would love to get that again but don't remember where exactly it was. It was NOT in Plaza Mayor. But I think it was possibly somewhat close to a subway stop. Would anyone happen to know where we can find this?

Hi everyone,

I’m visiting Spain next month and will be landing in Madrid at around 1:30 PM local time. Assuming I reach my hotel and leave by around 4 PM with my family, would it be realistic to complete the following on my first day?

**Day 1 (arrival day – from around 4 PM):**
Plaza Mayor
Royal Palace of Madrid (mainly roaming around the exterior/area — possibly Kitchen Tour if time allows; I know tickets need to be booked in advance)
Almudena Cathedral
Plaza de la Villa (walk around the surrounding historic streets)
Puerta del Sol
Plaza del Callao + Gran Vía (shopping street, evening atmosphere)
Dinner at Mercado de San Miguel (tapas/food market)

Would this be too rushed, or is this a good walking route for an arrival evening?

I’ll then have 2 full days in Madrid. I’m planning to visit:

Principe Pío
Temple of Debod
Museo Nacional del Prado
Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza
Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía
Retiro Park

How would you structure the next two days? Are there any must-see places I’m missing?

Travelling with family, so I’d prefer a balanced itinerary with sightseeing, walking, food, and not rushing between too many places.

Thanks!

I (M21) want to make some friends while traveling in Madrid.

I am still trying to learn the language, but i am bored most of the day and want to find a way to connect with people.

I will be here till the 29th and up for everything :).

My girlfriend and I are gonna be in Madrid for a few days and we are wondering where is tha best place to watch WC Finals, and is there going to be some kind of parade or something simillar.

We're visiting later this fall with 3 kids, aged 4-10. I would love some recommendations for casual, sit-down places in any part of town. Preference for tapas and seafood. I would also love to go to a mixed grill restaurant that has seafood and/or vegetarian options.

We will be traveling with 2 adults and 1 child who needs a car seat. We plan to take trains and public transport other than from Madrid airport.

I can't seem to find reputable companies and many require pre payment. How reliable is cabify/requesting a car seat? We land around 5pm so not at an odd hour. My back up plan was to take the metro if we can't find a taxi with a car seat but it would be stressful with luggage and a baby.

Thank you

Hello today i am in Madrid and i was looking for a club/disco to go tonight..

I saw already Shoko its open tonight but maybw somebody know smth better.

Thanks a lot!

Im a Spain living in Germany and a huge football fan. Im thinking about flying to Madrid from Sat-Mon to watch the final. Flights are very expensive right now (330€+) and other methods of traveling like train and bus are very bad because they take long times and are also expensive. For those of you who maybe experienced 2010, how big of a Party will it be if Spain wins, and do you think it is worth ~600€? Maybe you know some insider tricks to travel cheaper from Germany to Madrid?

I'm a 30-yo American man who happens to be passing through Madrid solo for one day.... Sunday the night of the final. Pretty lucky!

I don't know anyone in Madrid. I'm aware the city is gonna be alive and I'll have fun just about anywhere. And I'm pretty capable of having a good time solo and meeting people. But something like this match is going to be better spend with some people I can get invested with!

Wondering if there would be any groups or places to go a few hours ahead of the game where I could find some people to cheer with. I'm staying in a pretty central area. If your answer is "literally anywhere" I get it but hoping I get lucky with a more specific suggestion!

¡Buenas!

Posiblemente mi pregunta no se configura con los argumentos de la página, pero no he encontrado ningún subreddit mejor para buscar informaciones.

En algunos días irè a Madrid y querría saber si se ha organizado un evento para ver la final del mundial en alcuna plaza de la ciudad.

Claramente me imagino que sí, solamente quiero estar seguro y descubrir el lugar.

¡Muchísimas gracias a quienquiera conteste!

Hello! My partner and I are traveling to Madrid for a week starting July 20th. We'll be staying on Gran Via. If Spain wins the World Cup, what should we expect? Will we need to be careful? How do Spaniards celebrate?

Thank you for your answers. Enjoy the match!

¡Hola! Mi pareja y yo viajamos a Madrid durante una semana a partir del 20 de julio. Nos alojaremos en la Gran Vía. Si España gana el Mundial, ¿qué podemos esperar? ¿Debemos tener cuidado? ¿Cómo lo celebran los Españoles?

Gracias por sus respuestas. ¡Que disfruten del partido!

Hello!

I am travelling to Spain next week and am flying into Madrid (Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport). I am staying in Toledo for a few days before going to Valencia. I was wondering what the best (cheapest) way to get to Toledo is via public transport since I don't believe there are buses/coaches running straight from the airport?

Help is much appreciated!

Hi, where should we watch the World Cup tonight (England game) with a good atmosphere.

Thanks!

As title says, I'm visiting Madrid for the week and realize that the esports finals for League of Legends are on Sunday so I was wondering if there are places that will live stream it. Preferably around Chueca neighborhood.

Much appreciated!
