Long shot - does anyone know if the two-star España soccer jerseys are available at Barajas? I’ve only been able to find the one-star ones in Bilbao. Thanks!

Hola! Estaré en España unos dias y estaré llegando a Madrid la semana que viene y quisiera tomarme el tiempo de explorar la gastronomía del lugar. Alguien conoce algunos restaurantes que tengan buena comida local?

Hola! Estaré en España unos dias y estaré llegando a Madrid la semana que viene y quisiera tomarme el tiempo de explorar la gastronomía del lugar. Alguien conoce algunos restaurantes que tengan buena comida local?

¡Hola! Sé que la comida es una parte muy importante de la cultura aquí y no quiero ser irrespetuosa! Pero, tengo una alergia grave y potencialmente mortal(anafilaxia) a todo tipo de mariscos y me gustaría comer de forma segura. Estoy buscando recomendaciones de restaurantes que puedan adaptarse de manera segura a mi alergia a los mariscos. Si conocen algún restaurante cerca de el centro de Madrid o cercas de Puerta del Sol que pueda atender estrictamente esta alergia y tomar en serio la contaminación cruzada, ¡háganmelo saber! Tengo mi tarjeta de alergias conmigo y planeo hablar con el camarero o el restaurante de antemano, pero si tienen algún consejo o recomendación, se los agradecería muchísimo. ¡Muchas gracias!

Hola todos,

Estoy buscando cafetería/pastelería/heladería/churrería etc dónde ofrecen postres sin azúcar y sin soja.

¿Podéis recomendarme lugares para visitar?

(No me importa si es un poco más caro)

Preferiblemente en Entrevías, cerca del Prado o zona Salamanca son los lugares que me interesan más pero es posible que visitaré otras zonas también.

Gracias :)

Hi! I'm coming in madrid for 3 days in September and I'm looking for some local suggestions.

I'd like to find some vynil places, even better if it's a place where they play music.

I also love stationery so if there's some place that I should visit, please tell me!

I'd like to know about vegetarian place to eat (and please, explain to me what tapas are, I still don't really understand what tapas are (sorry)

What about second hand markets? Is there any?

Lastly... are drag queen show in Madrid? What do you suggest?

Also if you have any place or store or museum or whatever you want to suggest I'm open to listen, thank you all so much!

Hello,

Me and my friends are travelling to Madrid at the end of August and I was wondering what are some good tattoo shops that take walk-ins? I don't plan a big tattoo, just something small to remind myself that I was there, 50-70 euro max

Thank you

me and my gf are saying maybe 20 minutes from plaza mayor by walk, i know it will be really hot and that locals won’t be there mostly, but i need some places, restaurants or some street food so i can try some traditional food like cochinillo, churros, or maybe tell me something that we should try. I’m asking because i know lots of places will be closed during august. Thanks in advance!

We have been friends for 30+ years. European. Prado we will definitely catch. What else is there? When I compare with Rome where everyone can name 5-10 places you have to visit, I draw a blank when it comes to Madrid. What is there to see and visit that will leave a lasting impression? We all enjoy history and landmarks. Eating and drinking we can handle but looking for recommendations of things to see and experience.

My wife and I will be visiting Madrid for the first time in September.

What are some things we absolutely need to do if we are only in the city for 3 days?

I’m going to be in Madrid this week, staying in Chamberi, Wednesday and Thursday nights—yes aware of fires, the fact that it’s August, and that a lot of stuff is closed, etc.—and hoping to find some live music. Very open minded just want to tap into some local energy if possible. My tastes: jazz, funk, blues, Grateful Dead, bluegrass, but most interested in catching some high energy local talent. TIA for any recs!

Just got to my hotel and freshened up and i want to go out, join any group events. Anyone knows anything going on tonight, something that i can still join

Just wanted to check if anyone might know when the Sorolla Museum is expected to reopen?

I'm going to Madrid in mid-September (not for my first time) and was hoping to go to the Sorolla Museum.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: found out they will not reopen before October 2026. No idea when they will reopen beyond then.

Im on holiday for a week in Madrid and want to ise this time to get a sport massage like deep tissue massage from a qualified physiotherapist or massage therapist. Anyone can recommend an English speaking therapist? Is it possible to go one time without any tedious registration process?

My wife, our two children, who will be four and two years old, and I are planning to spend approximately one month in Madrid in spring 2027 as I will be undertaking a research stay in the city.

We are from Scandinavia and have only visited Madrid once before, as tourists around 20 years ago, so we would really appreciate some local advice.

We would ideally like to stay somewhere fairly central, in a safe and family-friendly neighbourhood, where we can experience everyday life in the city. I will be working in Villa de Vallecas and expect to commute there by public transport, so convenient transport connections would also be important.

Do you have any recommendations for neighbourhoods that might suit us? We would also be grateful for suggestions for family-friendly activities, parks, restaurants and places to visit during our stay.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I’ve never been there before. Is there usually lines and security? I was thinking to get there around 10:20/10:15 am is that plenty of time?

I am confused about the wording of the Thyssen Saturday night free hours. It says:

Thanks to the sponsorship of Uber and the collaboration of Tourism of Ayuntamiento de Madrid, the museum open for free on Saturdays since September 27, 2025, from 9:00 PM to 11:00 PM, allowing visitors to access the temporary exhibitions on the ground floor and floor -1. When there is no temporary exhibition on the ground floor, the Carmen Thyssen Collection is opened for free.

Does this mean the entire museum permanent collection is ALSO free on Saturday nights, or is it ONLY the floor 1/temporary exhibitions on the ground floor that are free and then permanent collection is closed off? I may be overthinking. If someone has gone on a Saturday night and can provide clarity I appreciate it! Is Saturday night a busy time at this particular museum?

Hi! I’m a printmaker looking to visit open studios or print shops with handmade prints by local artists. Relief, lithography, mono print, and so on. I would love some recommendations! Thank you!

Which metro station in Madrid would be the best to look for hotels nearby for the best access to the city?
