Madrid, Spain’s capital and business hub, is also the largest and most populated city. It’s for travelers who want to be surrounded by jaw-dropping art and architecture and a laid-back lifestyle. Visit during fall and springtime when temperatures are mild. You can stretch out on a blanket in El Retiro Park or enjoy al fresco dining and drinking that lasts for several hours. Stroll through the busy streets lined with shops, bars, and restaurants. See Mercado de San Miguel for some take-home tapas, produce, and beverages for late lunches and dinners. Madrid’s world-class museums such as Museo Nacional del Prado will satisfy your thirst for art. Though Madrid is a walkable city, it’s best for travelers to ride the metro or taxis to go around. If you’re flying into the city, book the top hotels with airport shuttle in Madrid, Spain, for a stress-free arrival.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and access to airport shuttle services.
