How do the four days in Madrid unfold?

On the first day, your driver waits for you at the airport and takes you to the hotel, then the panoramic tour begins. The second and third days are free: museums, neighbourhoods, parks, markets, you plan your days as you wish, with the options your advisor has booked in advance. On the fourth day, the morning is free before the transfer to the airport. It is the ideal format for getting your bearings with a guide on arrival, then living Madrid on Madrid time, with dinners that start late and terraces that fill up in the evening.

What do you see on the first day's panoramic tour?

In 3 hours by private car, your guide shows you the city's great landmarks. You pass through Plaza de España, then drive up the Gran Vía, the avenue of theatres and grand early-20th-century buildings. You stop at Plaza de Oriente, facing the Royal Palace, and finish near the Neptune Fountain, sculpted in the late 18th century, on the Paseo del Prado. By the end of the tour, you already know where to come back on foot in the days that follow.

What can you do on the free days?

Several options can be added. At the Reina Sofía museum, you stand in front of Picasso's Guernica, a huge canvas you look at for a long time in silence. A flamenco evening lets you feel the power of a professional dancer, a few metres from the stage. The Lavapiès neighbourhood, diverse and lively, is best discovered on foot. And in Retiro Park, a bike ride appeals to families, between the great pond and the shaded paths. Your advisor books these activities with the getaway.

Which hotel do you stay in in Madrid?

In the Comfort category, the getaway puts you up at the NH Collection Madrid Gran Vía, a 4-star hotel on the grand avenue, in the heart of the action. In the Superior Comfort category, the NH Collection Palacio de Tepa, a 5-star hotel, occupies a palace in the Literary Quarter, close to Plaza de Santa Ana. Both addresses let you do everything on foot, and breakfast is included every morning.

What is included in the getaway?

The package includes private transfers between the airport and the hotel, the first day's guided tour with a French-speaking guide, three nights with breakfast and luggage handling. Flights, the Superior Comfort category, optional activities and excursions, drinks and travel insurance are added according to your choices. You travel on a private basis, as a couple, a family or friends, at your own pace.

Which Club Med resort pairs well with the getaway?

The getaway combines before or after a stay at Club Med Magna Marbella, on Andalusia's Costa del Sol. You move from the life of the capital to an all-inclusive week by the Mediterranean, in the south of the country. To prepare for the city, read our visit Madrid guide, and for the rest of the country, our Spain travel page.

When is the best time to visit Madrid?

Spring and fall are the mildest seasons for walking the city and enjoying the terraces. Summer is hot and dry, which invites museum visits in the hottest hours and evenings out. Winter is cool and sunny, perfect for museums and cafés. Your advisor tells you which dates are offered.

How do you get to Madrid from Quebec?

You travel on flights from Montreal, with or without a connection depending on the season, to Madrid airport, where the private transfer is waiting. If you combine with Marbella, your advisor arranges the connection south. A valid Canadian passport is required to enter Spain, and your advisor checks the entry requirements at the time of booking.
