About
Quick facts: This park is Madrid's largest green space, spanning over 1,700 hectares, making it more than twice the size of Central Park in New York. Home to a working zoo and the only ski slope in the city, it offers a surprising mix of nature and urban activities.
Highlights: The park features an 18-hole golf course that draws over 150,000 players annually and has hosted international tournaments. Visitors can also enjoy the TelefΓ©rico cable car that glides 2 kilometers above the park, offering stunning panoramic views of Madrid and the Sierra de Guadarrama.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable walking shoes as the park's paths can be extensive.
- Capture sunset views from the cable car for stunning photos.
- Skip the busiest midday hours to avoid large crowds at the zoo.
- Bring a picnic to enjoy at one of the designated areas by the lake.
