It's springtime and Madrid is a very interesting city at this time of the year.
It is true that it is a city where you can always do things. But spring, with the good weather, offers better plans, especially outdoors.
The days are longer, the temperatures are warmer and there are several festivals to enjoy in the city.
Easter is at the beginning of April, and then there is the May bank holiday and the San Isidro long weekend. But on any weekend there are options for all tastes.
Places to visit in spring and outdoor activities in Madrid
We are going to suggest a few places to visit and things to do at this time of the year in Madrid. You're sure to love them.
Picnic in a park. This time of year is perfect to enjoy the Retiro, Madrid Río or the Casa del Campo. The temperatures are mild, but not as extreme as in summer. So it is a great opportunity to spend a day with friends or family and bring food and drink. Just leave everything clean and tidy.
Bike rides. It is an ideal time for bike rides. You can ride in the parks or on the bike paths in the city.
Visit sites such as the Temple of Debod, the viewpoint of Las Vistillas, the park of Las Siete Tetas or the Garden of Prince Anglona. These are very beautiful places that are worth visiting in good weather to enjoy them in all their splendour.
Different routes. There are offers for tours by tuk tuk or segwey. It is a different plan and at this time of the year a very good idea.
Guided tours. Although they can be done at any time, now that the weather is nice and the city is especially beautiful. Be sure to visit Madrid with a guide, you'll be surprised.
Markets. The classic flea market or smaller neighbourhood markets are very interesting to visit.
Lunch or dinner on terraces. In summer it is very hot, so this is the perfect time to enjoy a good lunch or dinner with friends on a terrace.
