The best free and fun things to do in Madrid
Do not miss these plans in the heart of the capital:
Visit a free exhibition at the Instituto Cervantes
At the Instituto Cervantes, they periodically hold exhibitions that you can visit free of charge. You can see the themes and dates so that you do not miss any of them. They are well worth it, and best of all, they are free.
Take in the beauty of Parque del Retiro
One of the essential places you have to visit is Parque del Retiro. It stands out for its abundance of greenery and has treasures such as the Palacio de Cristal and the boating pond. If you do not want to spend money, you can always take a walk through the park and take photos.
Visit Museo del Prado during the free-admission slot
One of Madrid's most special places is Museo del Prado. The good news is that you do not have to pay if you do not want to, as admission is free from Monday to Saturday from 18:00 to 20:00 and on Sundays and public holidays from 17:00 to 19:00.
Visit Museo Reina Sofía during the free-admission slot
If you love culture, do not miss the chance to explore this very special corner of Madrid. What is more, few people know that it opens free of charge on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from 19:00 to 21:00, and on Sundays from 12:30 to 14:30. It is great, because it is an excellent plan for those who adore culture and does not require paying for admission.
Stroll through el Matadero
Madrid has many special corners that are unknown to some people. One of them is el Matadero, because you will feel as though you are in a film setting. It is great because there are sometimes exhibitions and they even show free open-air films. It is ideal for lovers of culture and of original, fun and different plans.
Watch the sunset from Templo de Debod
Templo de Debod is an Egyptian temple located right in Madrid, very close to Gran Vía on foot. A plan that is always a success is to go and watch the sunset, because it offers one of the city's most beautiful sunsets.
Free concerts
If you love music and are travelling to Madrid, you are in luck, because many concerts with no admission charge are usually organised in the city. Some are held in cultural centres and others in squares during festival periods. Do not hesitate to take a look at the free events in Madrid.
Visit El Rastro
El Rastro is Madrid's most famous street market. Even if you do not buy anything, we recommend taking a stroll among the stalls and having a look.
We hope you enjoy these 8 free and very fun plans to do in Madrid. Which would you say is your favourite?
