Frequently Asked Questions About Visiting Madrid
When is the best time to visit Madrid? Late spring (April–June) and early autumn (September–October) offer mild temperatures and thinner crowds than peak summer.
How many days do I need to see Madrid's top sights? Three to four full days covers the Golden Triangle of Art (Prado, Reina Sofía, Thyssen-Bornemisza), Gran Vía, and an evening tapas crawl in La Latina.
Is Madrid easy to get around without a car? Yes — the Metro is extensive and affordable, and most top attractions sit within walking distance of each other in the city centre.
What is the entry fee for the Prado Museum? General admission is €15; free entry is available Monday–Saturday 18:00–20:00 and Sundays 17:00–19:00.
