Madrid is much more than the capital of Spain. Founded as a Muslim fortress in the 9th century, it was chosen as the capital of the Empire by Philip II in 1561, marking a turning point in its urban and cultural development. Since then, it has been the political epicentre of the country and the setting for some of the most significant events in Spanish history. Today, Madrid combines its historical legacy with a vibrant contemporary lifestyle, positioning itself as one of the great European capitals.
Madrid boasts one of the world's most outstanding cultural offerings. The famous Paseo del Arte (Walk of Art), which includes the Museo del Prado, the Museo Reina Sofía, and the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, showcases masterpieces by artists such as Velázquez, Goya, Picasso, and Dalí. The city is also home to dozens of cultural centers, theaters, and art galleries that offer a constant and diverse program throughout the year.
Strolling through Madrid is an experience in itself. Gran Vía, with its iconic buildings, theaters, and shops, embodies the city's energy. In the Old Town, places like Plaza Mayor and Puerta del Sol invite you to immerse yourself in the authentic Madrid spirit, while neighborhoods like Malasaña and La Latina offer a perfect blend of tradition and avant-garde. Every corner of Madrid tells a different story.
Madrid is passionate about sport. The Santiago Bernabéu and Riyadh Air Metropolitano stadiums, home to Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid respectively, are two temples of European football that attract thousands of visitors each year. The city hosts top-level competitions such as the Mutua Madrid Open tennis tournament and the Madrid Marathon. It also offers multiple outdoor spaces for running, cycling, and practicing yoga, from the Madrid Río area to the Casa de Campo.
