Best Time to visit Madrid
Best time to visit is autumn between the months of September to November or during spring, when balmy temperatures blow through the city, and hotel prices are still fairly low.
If you don’t mind drab weather and a rather listless Madrid, you can visit in the winter when hotels reduce their rate even more. Peak tourist season is summer, despite its scorching heat, but many Madrileños are on vacation, leaving the city to your enjoyment!
Accommodation in Madrid
Madrid is a destination for all budgets. You can choose from luxurious penthouse hotels, to affordable chic hostels. If you feel like spending, chose Salamanca, for its ritzy and luxurious hotels.
If you want to experience a more alternative lifestyle, choose Chueca, where you can find budget lodging, but make sure to book in advance, as especially during summer prices are high.
