What to know before arriving in Madrid?

Remember to check the weather, book attraction tickets earlier, carry euros, and best visit during spring or autumn.

Planning to travel to Madrid, the vibrant capital of Spain? Full of history, amazing architecture, and lots of fun. It is a very worth traveling destination whether you plan to have relaxed vacations, vacations for history buffs, or adventurous experiences. With places such as the Royal Palace of Madrid, the Prado Museum, and the Retiro Park.

If you want to visit Madrid, then take a look at this blog, where Mate App will guide you through the essential things to know about Madrid.

What is Needed to Enter Madrid

First of all, having a valid passport for at least 6 months beyond your intended stay in Spain is compulsory, therefore check your passport before visiting Madrid. Secondly, Spain is part of the Schengen Agreement, therefore all the countries within the agreement are allowed to stay visa-free travel for up to 90 days. And for countries that didn’t sign the agreement a Visa will be required, remember to apply earlier as it might take some time.

Weather

With hot summers and cold winters, Madrid is a city with a dry climate so if you plan to visit Madrid, we really recommend that during your stay you drink a lot of water. During summer, the average temperature in Madrid is normally above 31ºC, where the hottest days can reach even 40ºC, therefore we especially don’t recommend visiting Madrid in mid-summer if you don’t like these hot temperatures. During winter in Madrid, temperatures are around 6ºC during the day with occasional snowfalls. Therefore we recommend visiting Madrid during spring🌸 (March to May) or autumn🍂 (September to November) for more calm weather conditions.

Language

The official language of Madrid is Spanish, but as Madrid is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Spain the communication level of English is actually not low, so for basic communication most times you won’t have any kind of issues. But it will be helpful if you learn a few basic Spanish words, and Madrileños will really appreciate your effort. Here are some words that you might use when traveling in Madrid:

  • Hello: Hola
  • Thank you: Gracias
  • You’re Welcome: De nada
  • Please: Por favor
  • Goodbye: Adiós

Eating and siesta time

Some interesting facts about Madrid are the meal time and the siesta time. The time of meals in Spain might be different than in other countries. When visiting Madrid it’s interesting to know that Launch is often served around 1:30 PM to 3:30 PM, while dinner often starts around 9 PM or later. Moreover, the Siesta time is a time during noons when most of the shops and businesses will close for a few hours, normally this time is around 5 PM to 7 PM, so take that into consideration when planning what to visit in Madrid.

Famous attractions

As the capital of Spain, Madrid has some must-see attractions that you’ll regret not going to. So don’t forget to take a look when visiting Madrid at the following attractions:

  • The Prado Museum: A must-visit museum for lovers of late 19th and early 20th-century European art, famous works by artists including Van Gogh, Picasso, Monet, and Gauguin.
  • Royal Palace of Madrid: One of Europe’s largest palaces, served as the home of the royal family and state ceremonies.
  • Retiro Park: This beautiful green oasis at the center of the city, is perfect for relaxing or a boat ride on the lake.
  • Puerta del Sol: Another must-visit destination of Madrid, as well as one of the most famous squares in Madrid, ideal for taking some trip photos.

In case you want to visit any other attractions that require purchasing tickets when visiting Madrid, we recommend you buy them earlier to prevent queues or sold-out situations.

Safety of Madrid

If you’re asking: Is Madrid safe? Then my answer is generally yes, but as with most major tourist destinations, it’s still important to take care of your belongings while visiting Madrid as there is still a chance of petty crimes.

At Mate App, we hope that you can enjoy the most when traveling to Madrid and have a pleasant journey with these travel tips for Madrid.
