Sixt Sightseeing Tips

Madrid is a very modern city, but many of its historic neighborhoods and structures have been well-preserved. The Spanish capital is lined with contemporary sculpture, some of the most famous the Fountain of Neptune, by Ventura Rodríguez and the grandiose Monument to Alfonso XII, by José Grasés Riera. The Royal Palace of Madrid, which is still the official residence of the Spanish Royal family, is an example of Madrid's rich history dating back to the early 1700s. It is possible to visit some parts of the palace, which is filled with art and fine artifacts, such as furniture and silverware. One of Madrid's most unique attractions that cannot be missed is the Temple of Debod. The ancient Egyptian shrine was originally in Aswan, but was gifted to Spain in the 1960s and reconstructed in Parque del Oeste.

Business Travel

Madrid is the second largest industrial hub in the country, known for various industries like aircraft, electrical equipment, agricultural goods. As the capital is the seat of the national government, other sectors like finance and tourism are also important to Madrid's economy. Madrid is also home to the Feria De Madrid Convention Center, home to Trade Fair Institution, IFEMA. Hosting close to 100 events per years, ranging from trade fairs to international conventions and events like Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, IFEMA has created a rich environment for international and local business in the Spanish capital.

What to Do in Madrid in Winter 2020

In winter months Madrid often maintains its blue skies and fresh mountain air. However, the temperature can dip to freezing, and there is even the occasional snowfall. Madrid is such an architecturally beautiful metropolis you should not let the cold weather stop you from seeing it. Bundle up and walk through Gran Via, or Calle Fuencarral and follow the quotes of famous writers written in the street of Calle de las Huertas. Churros dipped in hot chocolate can be found during the winter in Madrid cafes, such as Chocolatería Valor. A great way to keep warm is to visit the host of famous museums all over Madrid, including the Sorolla Museum and the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum. And you can go skiing just outside the city at Puerta de Navacerrada. In December into January you can browse the Christmas markets, the biggest and most iconic being in Plaza Mayor. The Three Kings celebration takes place on January 6 with a parade through the city streets. Carnival marks the beginning of Lent and is held in February. And the Festival de Arte Sacro celebrates culture in February and March all over the city. For getting around Madrid, a smaller city car would be suggested due to the narrow streets.
