The highlights of visiting this amazing city

Spain is a relatively small country blessed with wonderful natural landscapes, incredible cuisine, stunning art, breathtaking architecture, and unique culture. Madrid, its capital and largest city, gets often overshadowed by Barcelona, but it is actually full of beautiful places to visit and things to do, whether you are staying for a few days or even long-term for a Spanish course in Madrid. 

Although there are plenty of exciting motivations to visit Madrid, we have outlined the 4 top reasons to help make up your mind, including its incredible sports culture, delicious gastronomy, vibrant nightlife and interesting Spanish courses in Madrid.

Taste Its Incredible Cuisine

Food is one of the most important aspects of Spanish culture. If you are a passionate foodie, Madrid, the country’s capital and largest city, is definitely your dream destination.

Whether you are in Madrid for a few days or a few weeks, there is an extensive list of must-try dishes you cannot miss, characterized by the aroma and taste of the local spices and herbs and the abundance of seafood and wine. 

Apart from the different stews – made with chicken, pork or meatballs, the city is known for the popular and delicious tortilla de patatas (potato omelette), callos madrileños (stewed tripe), and of course, the famous tapas, which are small bites of food, sometimes served on a skewer or stick, and typically served with drinks at a bar.

In Chueca and Malasaña, two important neighbourhoods of the historic centre, you will find several restaurants and bars serving this type of food and all of them are open for business all year long. These are areas where the local people eat, talk, and have a good time daily.

Discovering new tastes and eating like a local is an important part of every travelling experience. Experiencing the Spanish culture through its food can offer great insights into its society, customs, and traditions, and a better understanding of local people.

Visit One of the World’s Most Impressive Football Stadiums

Football is the most popular sport in Spain, followed fervently by millions of people. In fact, according to official insights, the Spanish League (La Liga) is one of the major and profitable leagues in the world. 

While in Madrid, whether you are a passionate fan of sports or just want to observe the way locals celebrate, it is well worth attending a match at the Santiago Bernabéu, the home of local team Real Madrid, which is the sworn enemy of Barcelona and one of the world’s richest and prestigious football club. 

The Bernabéu has a lot of history: it was built in 1947 and is the only stadium in the world that has hosted the Champions League, Copa Libertadores, European Championship and World Cup Finals.

Learn Spanish in Madrid

As you probably know, studying abroad is the fastest and easiest way to level up your language skills, better than any other educational method. If you are looking to take a Spanish course to improve your speaking skills and accelerate your language learning process, Madrid should definitely be on your list.

Madrid is one of the world’s top-rated destinations to have Spanish lessons Madrid. There is a real student vibe going on in the city, with a substantial international population. There are many Spanish schools in Madrid offering short intensive programs, as well as longer programs for serious students, with an emphasis on learning the language and increasing your knowledge of the Spanish culture.

Take Advantage of Its Vibrant Nightlife

One of the reasons why Madrid is such a top-rated destination for young people is due to the city’s nightlife scene. No matter whether you prefer clubs or bars, the capital of Spain has something to suit all tastes and endless opportunities to have a good time until the early hours.

After a long day touring the city, you can easily dance the night away from midnight to 6 a.m. in huge clubs such as Planet club or relax and enjoy a drink in a rooftop bar with fabulous views (there are great rooftop bars in pretty much all corners!).
