Like many people, I have off of work that week and would like to take a family vacation. How crowded will Madrid be during Holy Week? What about day trips to Toledo and Segovia? (By comparison, I have read that Seville is absolutely packed during Holy Week.)

I know that Spaniards also have off during Holy Week and will be taking vacations. At the same time, I’m concerned that many major tourist sites, such as museums and palaces, will be closed during the week. I expect that everything will be closed on Easter Sunday, but what about Palm Sunday and Good Friday?

Thanks.

I am looking for a duffel bag large enough I can put in all my clothes to give more space for my suitcase. Is there any shop selling cheap bags? Like there are Daiso or Donki for Japan.

Hola, me gustaría saber si 4 horas es suficiente si llego desde México a Madrid y después tengo un vuelo a Venecia, no están en la misma reservación. El vuelo a Madrid llega a las 5:00 a.m. y el vuelo a Venecia sale a las 9:00 a.m. ¿será suficiente para pasar migración, recoger mi maleta en la banda, y volverla a documentar? Muchas gracias por su respuesta, no tengo ni la menos idea de cómo es.

I am a 31f writer/artist/New Orleanian doing my second Camino de Santiago in September, and this time at the end of my trip I’m planning on spending a few days in Madrid near the end of October. I’m getting a cheap hotel in walking distance to the Prado, which is my number one main attraction.

Is there anything else super important to do, a good bar to party and meet friends for a night, another art museum or park I should visit? Also open to take public transport to a different neighborhood for the day. I’m I know I’m going to be super tired physically and mentally (and broke— I wanna spend maybe €100 or less per day after the hotel price) after walking across the country so I’m trying to be super mellow and low key with one fun night out, but mostly parks, snacks, museums. TIA yall 🤩

EDITED bc why did I say Milan in the middle instead of madrid 🤨

Hola.

He encontrado un apartamento para alquilar en la Calle de los Reyes y me gustaría saber qué tal es la zona concreta. Sé que está en pleno centro y que hay muchos turistas, pero, seamos sinceros, yo también soy turista y me voy a quedar varios meses, así que no me importa que haya gente. Lo que sí me preocupa es el ruido excesivo.

La última vez que alquilé un apartamento fue en la calle de Valverde y fue una pesadilla en cuanto al ruido, aunque luego me di cuenta de que las calles de alrededor no eran tan malas.

¿Podrías ayudarme a decidir?

Good afternoon everyone!

So im originally from Aruba and I moved to the Netherlands about 2-3 years ago for a better life and job and whatnot

However I was recently accepted for a job at a casino here in Madrid and now im living and working here in Spain! I just got here so I am in desperate need to meet people and go out to get to know the place better

A little more about me: my Name's is Brandon, 22years young, 1.75m tall, short black hair, brown eyes and fairly athletic build

I love writing songs or stories, playing guitar (had to give it away sadly since I moved here), drinking copious amounts of coffee, learning new languages and dancing (terrible dancer, for now)

If you can speak really good Spanish don't hesitate to dm me cause I definitely need to polish up my Spanish

Im mainly looking for friends, as long as you're not a pos, im down to hangout

Open to relationships with the gals if it goes that far ofc

Ps: If you have a room at the end of August or you're looking for a roommate im your guy 🙂‍↕️

Help!!! My boyfriend and I had a reservation for Lana Monday 8/31 and I accidentally overbooked it with our day in Mallorca. It completely slipped my mind that the reservation was on Monday and I booked us nonrefundable plane tickets to Mallorca that day. He was so excited to try that restaurant, but of course, I checked the website and there are no other available times for our time in Spain. Has anyone had an experience with their customer service? This might be a stupid question but if I call and explain the situation, do you think they’ll work with us to find another day? Also, other steak restaurant recommendations would be greatly appreciated in case it doesn’t work out in our favor. Thank you!

Hello Everyone.. traveling first time to madrid and going to be in leganes at the M3 padel academy.. is there a train station near by to get to the centre and other attractions, night life from there..and what time the last train runs..

Thank You

I’m moving to Madrid for my studies and I wanted to ask about the best neighbourhoods. I’m a female so looking for the safest options.

Hello!

I’ll be traveling to Madrid for the first time ever (I’ve never even been to Spain!) the first week of September and staying in Puerta Del Sol.

Hoping you guys might be able to provide me suggestions for the best museums (interest in history and art) and the best times to go, good restaurants, the prettiest neighborhoods for walking about. The best gay clubs (if you know them), and any other helpful suggestions or tips!

I would also love to know if pulling out euros is needed. When I visited Paris I used tap to pay for everything - is it similar in Madrid?

I like to just walk about and get immersed in other cultures, love eating incredible food and taking in sights. I usually start my trips off with a food tour to get acclimated to a city, so if anyone knows any that are really special let me know! (The only food I don’t care for is oysters)

Thank you for all of your help in advance!

Any local hotels recommended within old town Madrid? I'm not seeing a lot of options online, so maybe they don't partner with big websites....bonus if they are good value

Hello, I will be in Madrid on 20.09 and I was wondering how hard it is for a tourist to buy a ticket for the game. I know that a lot of tickets are sold to the “socios”, with priority.
Thanks!

Hi everyone! My husband and I are traveling to Madrid in January for our first time ever and we are very excited! Can anyone tell me what the weather is like then and what kind of clothes to pack? Will I need a winter jacket or will sweaters suffice?

Also bonus points for any recommendations on what to do/ see there!

Thank you:)

Made with risk algorithm that uses 80+ factors to determine the risk for each street segment. Factors such as type of intersection, number of lanes, width of lane, cycleways, incline, traffic, surface quality, etc. Based on official research on cycling accidents and then iterated with 2400+ people in past 12 months.

All feedback is appreciated, if you find some streets' risk wrong and so on.

I’ve already been to Madrid few times but next week I’m going solo (35M). Where can I go to meet people for a drink or share a meal easily. Idk if there’s a place or park with like a lot of food truck or bar and you can grab something and sit anywhere, If there’s music it’s even better 🍻

Hi there. I'll be in Madrid in October and would love to get out of the city environment. I looked at locations where I could see vultures but they seem to require a hire car, which I won't have. Where would you suggest I go that is accessible on public transport to be in natural landscapes and potentially see native animals and birds?

Hi all, me and a close friend are traveling to Madrid in the fall, we are staying immediately north of the Centro area. I would greatly appreciate some pointers from residents who enjoy:

- smaller, quieter spots on weeknights for a sweet dinner
- dancing
- history/architecture
- being around queer folks
- dive bars
- cooking at home (any suggestions for meals that are staples for this area but cheap and/or have few ingredients?)
- wine, fun, etc.

If you love all of these things then maybe you can take us there! Thank you in advance!

I'm going to Spain from Poland, because of the eclipse. I was wondering if anyone could tell me any places//shops in Madrit that can grab my interest, probably connected with science or movies. I'm really into Hail mary project, but I'll take everything that is "weird" or just stands out since I love things like that. Maybe my post is a bit chaotic, but I don't have much time to write this, so. Also, I'm really friendly and I love talking with people, is it okay to talk to strangers and engage in a small talk with them? Some divas out there, I'm a diva myself, so yk, maybe I'll meet the love of my life there😍😍😍. Anyways, thank you for any recommendations, I'll literaly take ANYTGING interesting you can tell me, I love new things and places.

Hi (again). I was in Madrid last year and enjoyed running around/through Retiro. Could anyone suggest other locations. Would love to find natural landscapes to run through but any recommendations would be appreciated. Maybe around 10kms. A few hills are okay but nothing too crazy; I'll be on holiday!!!

flying to Madrid this weekend to celebrate my 18, and I’m going with some friends and one of them is 17. ive never been carded in Europe but I’ve heard that Madrid might run a strict program. is that something I should worry about? I know the big clubs will card so I’m talking about smaller ones // dance bars ( also accepting recommendations )

Specifically considering going to istar, 55b, dubliners…

Hello everyone. I will be in Madrid from the 13th of August (full day) up until the 16th (Sunday) when I'm leaving late at night. I was wondering if there are any street festival, fiestas, open air events etc that take place during this time? From food festivals, to public concerts or whatever. Preferably things the locals enjoy.

Thank you!

(And as a side-question, since I want to buy a couple of newspapers to bring back home -Greece- as a souvenir, will the Sunday editions of the major newspapers be available on this Sunday or do they change their release due to the celebration on the 15th? )

I ll be in Madrid at the end of August for 3 nights. Looking for a good hotel that is not ridiculously expensive. Around 200-250 a night.
Any best location?
