Visit Retiro Park
Mejor época para visitar
In spring and autumn on weekdays before noon, when there are the fewest people and the light is good for photos. Weekend mornings are also peaceful, before the crowds arrive.

Entry to the park is completely free, as are the main avenues and gardens. Renting a rowboat will cost you about 6 euros for half an hour, and a horse-drawn carriage ride costs from 50 euros.

Acerca de
Datos rápidos: Este parque ocupa más de 350 acres, convirtiéndolo en el santuario verde de Madrid en pleno corazón de la ciudad. El gran lago artificial invita a los visitantes a aventuras en bote bajo el cielo abierto.
Destacados: Un encantador Palacio de Cristal, hecho de vidrio y acero, se encuentra en el lado este, ofreciendo exposiciones de arte contemporáneo que juegan con la luz natural. Cerca, el Jardín de Rosas exhibe más de 4 000 rosales, llenando el aire con dulces aromas florales en primavera.
Consejos de expertos
- Wear comfortable shoes, because the avenues stretch for kilometers and it's easy to walk many kilometers here
- The best photos are taken from the footbridge over the lake at sunset
- The monuments around the Crystal Palace are more secluded than those along the main thoroughfares
- Bring snacks, but remember that feeding the squirrels is prohibited
