25 Things to do in Madrid, Spain | Top Attractions Travel Guide Travel Video Transcript:
Hola y bienvenidos a Madrid. This week we are in the Spanish capital and we are going to show you twenty five of the best things to do in the city.
Final thoughts on your time in Madrid. Well, I really enjoyed the city. And I really found that it is super walk-able. We were here for 10 days and we hardly had to take the metro at all. We just took the bus once when we were visiting the stadium but the rest of the time we were able to walk wherever we needed to go. And also I think it is a great city for art lovers. There are so many galleries and museums to check out. And a lot of them are free in the evening. So keep that in mind.
And now it is your turn. What did you think of Madrid? You know what? I absolutely loved Madrid. It is a city that just really clicked with me. We have a lot of friends that are living here long term and prior to coming here I had no idea like why would someone want to come to Madrid? Now I totally get it. I love the culture, I love the food, I love the nightlife. Everything is really cheap. I go to the grocery store and I can get a one liter thing of wine for just over a Euro. It is just a really affordable fun city to be in. And it is somewhere I hope I have a chance to come back to again soon.
And that is a wrap of our time in Madrid! We had a splendid time and were truly sad to say goodbye to the city, but that just means we'll have to come back again. If you have any travel tips for Madrid, feel free to share those in the comments below.
This is part of our Travel in Spain series. We're making a series of videos showcasing Spanish culture, Spanish arts, Spanish foods, Spanish religion, Spanish cuisine and Spanish people.
All photos and video taken by Samuel Jeffery (Nomadic Samuel) and Audrey Bergner (That Backpacker).

I spent a year in Madrid. I cannot say enough good things about Madrid and Spain in general. it is truly one of my favorite places in the world. I don't think you can highlight enough how wonderful the people are in Spain
Thank you! That is awesome to hear. We're keen to experience more time in Spain.
Kenneth Vonschlegell as a Spaniard I'd like to know why you find us so special. I'm just a bit curious!

Haven't been back since I was a baby. I'm definitely long overdue for a visit and connect to my heritage :)
+Maria S I hope you can go back again soon!
I love how Ms. Audrey actually ditches the American accent and tries to speak the foreign words correctly every time. ❤️
Audrey can speak Spanish.
Espanya es mi segundo hogar, especialmente Madrid, saludos desde Los Estados Unidos. Spain is my second home, especially Madrid, greetings from U.S.A.

I fully recommend visiting the royal palaces around Madrid. Not just the Palacio de Oriente (the one in downton Madrid) but also El Escorial, Aranjuez, La Granja y El Pardo.
Thanks for the recommendations!
Yo visite todos esos lugares cuando vivi en España

@@samuelandaudrey Gracias I give you for let me see Madrid again❤
Soy madrileño y le digo a él mundo entero de Madrid al cielo.
Madrid surprised me! I was there for a week. Had a great time. I will come back.
the last time i was in Madrid was when i was 5.5 years old and there's one thing i cant forget is the authentic aroma of their cafes and restaurants mmmmm.
That is really cool to hear! Yes, I know exactly what you mean. I hope you can go back again soon.
This was great! As a fellow Canadian I am equally excited to experience the rich cultural city of Madrid! Thanks for your video!
Thank you very much! I think you'll really enjoy the city.
Such a great video! I live in Madrid and i feel so good seeing that you enjoyed visiting and tasting Madrid and i really like knowing your experiences in my city. You are always welcome to Spain 😁
Love your vlogs! Keep them coming!
I'm from Madrid and summers here are gross. May is by far the best month to visit. Great video!
+Pri Thank you! Hope we can visit in May someday.
Glad to hear, going there this May with school!
LOL!! We spent our honeymoon in Spain and fell in love with the country. But, your comment is 100% correct. We enjoy cold weather and are headed back in a few weeks.
I'm from Madrid, if Madrid is famous for something is for its nightlife. If you guys want to meet young people you should definitely come to Moncloa-Argüelles (University area), Plaza de alonso, huertas, malasaña, La latina have a lot pubs, barbs, clubs, restaurants. La Castellana, Chamberí, Goya Recoletos, Salamanca are our fancy areas...chueca is the gay neighborhood, lot of bars, and clubs..it's a really fun area. Lavapiés is considered the most dangerous area, it's also the most multicultural area in Madrid...I'm glad you liked my hometown, welcome, come back anytime!!
Just tell me exactly what you like, or would like to see and I'll will tell you specific places :)
Hola! Gracias por tu comentario :) Mañana que disco se pone bien? Estoy de visita
I've never been to Spain!!! It's very much high on my list though and I will be watching this again before I head there hopefullyyyyyyy this year.
Kristen Sarah Thanks! That's really cool you're thinking of coming soon. I think you'd have a lot of fun making videos here. We've both loved it here so far. It's highly affordable for Europe as well. In fact, the price of groceries here is much lower than in Canada.
La calidad de este vídeo es única Keep up the great work
Muchas gracias Barbara!
Nice video. I visited Madrid twice (2006 and 2019) and I still love it!
Cool to hear Elaine! Plan to go back again?
Spain is a KINGDOM
Spain ❤❤
I'll hopefully go to college there 🙏🙏
The night life is crazy there! My friend who lives in Madrid was out partying until 6am! I was like, "OMG, I'd be tired by like 1am!"
well done and very informative. Best nightlife anywhere. Full of culture.
Totally agree and it goes all through the night and into the morning.
That is true
Madrid night life have no equal i can wait to go back home and eat like a king.
watching you eat a bowl of soup is just SO Exciting! - I take it that food is "High Culture" for you!
Thanks Mark! We can and do get excited over a bowl of soup sometimes...haha
I went to Spain back in 2011 for World Youth Day (I even vlogged part of it!), and loved every moment of it. I'd love to go back to Madrid and see it in a 'non-event' setting and be able to see more of the beautiful city. Thanks for this video, great job!
plusjames Thank you! That's cool to hear you've been to Madrid. Yeah, having some time to linger might allow you to have a different appreciation of the city. I'm really glad we budgeted 10 days because now we'd like to return again as a potential base.
My last time in Madrid was in 2012. Watching your video it was like traveling again. Great video folks!! Sam with respect and humor let Audrey speaks the words is Spanish!! :)
Marcelo A. Rodriguez Cancelo That's cool! Thank you! Hahahaha...most definitely Audrey should be doing all of the talking in Spanish.
Thanks for sharing!! I will definitely be going to some of these places!

very nice work:) for night life i also suggest the Malasaña and the Chueca district,very lively,fun and lots of music during weekend nights!I recommend going up to the rooftop terrace of bellas artes and the Palacio de cibeles,they got a bar in there so you can enjoy the view of the city.Walking around La Latina district is also advisable it is Madrid old city.For shopping i recommend the Calle fuencarral,gran via or for high end the Salamanca district. for the Park i suggest the Madrid rio,its a huge park along the river.:))
Charlie Z Thank you for these great suggestions! We could have easily made 50 things to do in the city if only we had more time :)

+elimonjal Thank you! Madrid is one of our favorite cities in Europe. Highly recommended :)
Great video guys well done and thank you
Thank you very much!
La ciudad más hermosa y acogedora de España.🇪🇸✌️
Gracias Mario!
Inmy opinion..Madrid is now day the city more happy of the Europa.
Hi, it's so much fun see you eating!
We do love our food! 😉
At the "Tapas el tigre" you pay 5€ for 0.5l beer, but also get as many tapas as you want! Awesome way to try out the famous little meals in Spain. If you are a bigger group, you need to come really early. Also nearby is the mercado San Antón. I personally prefer it over the San Miguel's market. It's not that crowded and a little different, but just as good.
Thanks! Great suggestions and much appreciated :)
Thank you!
Love travel guides
Thank you! We'll have more coming soon.
Hi,exactly spring or fall is the best time to visit.........keep posting videos from your travels ok? regards
+Henry Steppel Thank you very much! More coming soon :)
Thanks guys, in Madrid now and working my way around your suggestions.
