Location:
Madrid's city center is full of a variety of charming neighborhoods, each with its unique atmosphere and appeal. Deciding on where to stay is dependent on one's budget and interests, as there is no single perfect area. Here are some of our favorite options:
Centro: Madrid's historical and geographical heart, is filled with winding medieval streets and centuries-old architecture that stun the eye. Despite being quite easy to walk through, Centro presents a challenge for driving enthusiasts.
La Latina: a charming neighborhood just a hop away from Madrid's Centro, boasts beautiful architecture and buzzes with life, especially on Sundays, when the city's biggest flea market unfolds.
Retiro: boasts of the city’s most lavish park, three internationally acclaimed art museums, and deluxe hotels. Every weekend, both locals and tourists flock to the park to appreciate its stunning botanical gardens, tranquil lakes, and scenic trails.
Lavapiés: is a trendy, multicultural area. It's home to the renowned flea market, El Rastro, and is a quick stroll away from Madrid's top art museums and Retiro Park. Lavapiés is also known for its foodie spots and has a varied mix of trendy bars and quirky restaurants
Huertas: Madrid's trendy and compact hip neighborhood, is highly favored by locals. Plaza Santa Ana, adorned with picturesque views, is the area's most attractive locale. With a diverse array of pocket-friendly bars, Huertas caters to all drink and cuisine preferences.
