CULTURE: MUSEUMS - Its grand museums and dynamic cultural agenda such as Museo del Prado, the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, and Museo Arqueológico Nacional, put Madrid at the forefront of art and culture in Europe.
WORLD HERITAGE SITES - You’ll find three cities close to the capital whose historical and artistic heritage has been included on the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Alcalá de Henares, San Lorenzo de El Escorial and Aranjuez are all united under the World Heritage in Madrid brand. Hayedo de Montejo has also recently been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site of outstanding natural beauty.

It is worth mentioning their unbeatable WINE TOURISM. There are twenty wineries and vineyards spread throughout the region. Through these wineries, the region of Madrid has built a route in a collective project that creates a complete open community for everyone around the wine culture. Thanks to the design of six routes you will find out a different perspective of Madrid (The route The Arrival of Roman Empire, The Valley of Churches and the Cistercian Legacy, The River Tajo and The Wines of The Order of Saint James, The route Path of Kings, The Route Scenes and Chronicles by Francisco de Goya, and The route The Age of the Railway)
NIGHTLIFE
- Madrid is known as the city that never sleeps with an outspoken
culture. A typical Spanish night out starts with tapas, cañas (Spanish for
beers), and friends, before moving on to copas (Spanish for mixed drinks) in a bar, and eventually partying all night long in
one of Madrids top nightclubs.
We also encourage you to enjoy flamenco in Madrid. Surely the most popular of all of them is Corral de la Morería, recognized as the best flamenco tablao in the world.
CYCLE TOURISM- Madrid is known for their strong biking culture and infrastructure that make it fun and safe for visitors. There are many routes for practice cycle-tourism through natural areas and municipalities of the region.Besides the existing cycle paths, some routes are interesting to follow, such as the Vias Verdes.
