Madrid
Late-night food capital. No beach, enormous energy.
Travellers come here for food, culture, nightlife and meeting people.
When to go
Aim for May, June and April. Think twice about November, December and July — the wettest stretch of the year.
| Month | Jan | Feb | Mar | Apr | May | Jun | Jul | Aug | Sep | Oct | Nov | Dec |

What it costs
Per person per day — a bed, food, getting around, and a share of one paid thing every third day.
These are GoReady's own estimates, not quotes. Nothing here is a price a provider has offered you — search the dates you actually want to see real ones.
Eating
833 places to eat and drink are mapped within walking distance of the centre — 516 restaurants, 100 cafés and 217 bars and pubs. 95% carry no chain or brand operator.
Of the 340 that record what they serve, the most common are:
- spanish 45
- chinese 22
- italian 19
- indian 18
- japanese 12
- pizza 11
42 record vegetarian options and 20 record vegan ones.

Getting there
The airport is MAD. Madrid is on an intercity rail network, so nearby stops are often better reached by train than by air.
Cheapest one-way found from LAX next month: $303, 1 stop. Found 46 hours ago — a price someone was offered, not a quote for you.
