La Latina: the best area for socialising over beer and tapas!<\/a><\/p>\n Malasa\u00f1a: the best area for a hipster atmosphere<\/a><\/p>\n Lavapi\u00e9s: the best area for cultural activities<\/a><\/p>\n Chueca: the best area to celebrate diversity<\/a><\/p>\n Los Austrias: the best area to explore Madrid\u2019s most famous landmarks<\/a><\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking to stay in an area that\u2019s surrounded by stunning architecture and full of bars and restaurants, then La Latina is where it\u2019s at. Famous for its many terrazas<\/em> (outdoor terraces where you can enjoy the fresh air while drinking and eating): this area is great for socialising and people watching as the terraces are always full of a vibrant crowd. The typical majestic buildings in this area, are the cherry on top of the cake.<\/p>\n La Latina is also home to what is considered the most famous street for tapas in the city: Cava Baja<\/em> street, with the highest number of bars per square meter, in the whole of Madrid! So, if you are looking to immerse yourself in a more social \u2013 but also beautiful – Madrilenian experience, this is the place to go. You will never get bored here as there will always be something to do and somewhere to go within a few steps from your hostel. But bear in mind the whole neighbourhood gets very busy, especially during weekends. The atmosphere is always vibrant and rarely feels overwhelming, and regardless which area you decide to stay in, La Latina is definitely worth a visit, being one of the main meeting points for both locals and visitors.<\/p>\n On Sundays, head to El Rastro <\/em>market, simply the most popular and oldest street market in Madrid. You will find everything in here, from vintage clothing to furniture and other curious objects. It\u2019s well worth a visit, even if you don\u2019t buy anything. The market is open from 9am to 3pm on Sundays.<\/p>\n More interested in food than the vintage stalls? Go to Mercado de la Cebada <\/em>(Cebada market), located at Plaza de la Cebada<\/em>. Here you\u2019ll find a very traditional indoor market for fresh food, fruit and veggies as well as sea food and meat. You can also come here to have tapas and drink at its food stalls or to grab a coffee with pastries. It\u2019s open Monday to Friday 9am to 2pm and then again at 5:30pm – 6:30pm. Open on Saturdays from 9am to 5pm.<\/p>\n La Latina is also known for its charming squares, such as Plaza de la Cebada<\/em>. Other squares to look out for are Plaza de San Andr\u00e9s, Plaza de Puerta Cerrada, Plaza del Humilladero<\/em> and Plaza de La Paja<\/em> – all in this neighbourhood! It\u2019s worth walking around the area exploring the squares and old buildings to do some Instagram material sight-seeing!<\/p>\n Feeling cultured? Head to La Latina theatre<\/em>, and watch plays for affordable prices (prices start from 12 euros, book online<\/a>) The theatre is a 100 years old and has a very nice bar and cafe in its basement, named La Tourn\u00e9e <\/strong>with brick walls and charming theatre decoration which is a perfect place for breakfast, coffee and drinks.<\/p>\n Of course, don\u2019t forget to visit La Latina\u2019s most popular street, La Cava Baja,<\/em> with the highest number of bars per square meter of Madrid! It\u2019s a Madrilenian tradition to grab a beer in this neighbourhood, and Cava Baja street<\/em> is a great place to start!<\/p>\n I also recommend you go to Sala Equis, <\/em>a very cool cinema-bar where you can grab a beer and watch a film in an unpretentious but different setting. It\u2019s a great place for coffee also! Check their listings online<\/a>.<\/p>\n At Calle Cava Baja<\/em>, you\u2019ll find restaurant and bar Taberna Lamiak<\/strong><\/a>. They serve traditional tostas<\/em> (open sandwiches) and delicious tapas<\/em> for around 2 euros each and they also have a great wine selection. It\u2019s vegetarian friendly, so there\u2019s something for everyone!<\/p>\n Address: Calle de la Cava Baja, 42, 28005 Madrid<\/em><\/p>\n For more tostas<\/em> try Taberna Almer\u00eda<\/strong><\/a>, a simple tavern style bar serving beer for 1 euro and a nice portion of traditional tostas<\/em> for 3,50!<\/p>\n Address: Calle de las Aguas, 9, 28005 Madrid<\/em><\/p>\n La Musa Latina<\/strong><\/a> is a must-visit restaurant. They have excellent food at reasonable prices to choose from with plenty of vegetarian options and a great beer selection. Try the fried green tomatoes with goats\u2019 cheese and the roasted turmeric cauliflower if you can, you\u2019ll thank us later! The place itself is also very cool, with an outdoor terrace and great views of the neighbourhood, it\u2019s also spacious and stylish inside.<\/p>\n Address: Costanilla de San Andr\u00e9s,12, 28005, Madrid.<\/em><\/p>\n La Musa Latina – Fried green tomatoes with goat’s cheese<\/p>\n Just a few steps from the Latina metro station, you\u2019ll find OK Hostel<\/em><\/a>, a historical building with a modern twist in its interior. Here you\u2019ll find shared dorms as well as private dorms for a very reasonable price (female only dorms also available).

Perfect whether you\u2019re travelling solo or with friends. Also, if you want delicious unlimited breakfast, it is available for an extra 5 euros.<\/p>\n If you want to enjoy La Latina neighbourhood but prefer to stay in a quieter street, 2060 The Newton Hostel<\/em><\/a> is a great choice. Although the nearest metro stop is actually Tirso de Molina<\/em>, this hostel is only a 6 min walk from La Latina metro station, so the location is very central and accessible. They have an amazing roof top terrace where you can admire a great view of Madrid! They also offer very interesting events such as flamenco nights, bar crawls, day trips to nearby cities and tours of Madrid. Apart from that there are plenty of dorm options available, including private and female only dorms.<\/p>\n Just a few steps away from this hostel you\u2019ll also find Way Hostel<\/em>, perfect if you\u2019re looking for a homier feel as some of the facilities such as the common lounge and kitchen will have you feeling very much at home. They have private, shared and female dorms, and they also offer several events like flamenco nights, bar crawls and day trips to nearby cities. Perhaps the most popular event available is the nightly sangria party, which offers unlimited open bar sangria for no more than 3 euros! It\u2019s the perfect excuse to make a few new friends and relax after a long day exploring the city.<\/p>\n 2060 The Newton Hostel<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n This neighbourhood is known for being one of the trendiest and most hipster areas of Madrid. Full of coffee shops, graffiti street art, stunning architecture and a booming night life, the bohemian Malasa\u00f1a keeps gaining popularity amongst locals and visitors. It is where Madrid first witnessed the underground movement called movida madrile\u00f1a<\/em>, at the end of Franco\u2019s dictatorship, which revolutionised the culture and arts in Spain during the 80s. It was during this period that Madrid saw the rise of many Spanish artists, including film director Pedro Almod\u00f3var.<\/p>\n If you are looking for a trendy hipster vibe, you\u2019ve found the right place. From bohemian bars and old markets that have been there since forever to new modern restaurants and recently opened vintage shops, this neighbourhood is a great combination of old and new! The whole Malasa\u00f1a area surrounds the famous square Plaza del 2 de Mayo<\/em> and it\u2019s so central you\u2019ll hit many famous destinations within a short walk. The central Sol<\/em> area of Madrid for example, is just around 15 minutes\u2019 walk away.<\/p>\n There\u2019s plenty to do in this neighbourhood, and if you\u2019re looking for culture you can start by exploring the History Museum<\/em>, which offers an insight into history and life in Madrid from when it became the Spanish capital in 1561 to present days. It is housed in an impressive building, which used to be known as The San Fernando Hospice<\/em> and is now home to 60.000 historical objects from the city such as sculptures, furniture, paintings and photographs. Perfect if you\u2019re looking to explore more of the history of Madrid and have an insightful journey into its past (and present). PS: Entry is free! Hard to resist, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n If you feel like exploring the historical roots of the city and also to admire some beautiful architecture, head to San Mart\u00edn de Tours Church<\/em> to see some of the classic construction style from ancient Madrid, belonging to the XVII century.<\/p>\n Street art can be found around the entire neighbourhood, but you\u2019ll find many pieces around Plaza Callao <\/em>square.<\/em><\/p>\n Want to do some shopping? Near Dos de Mayo Square<\/em> you can find plenty of vintage clothing shops that are well worth exploring. Also, during the weekend you can shop vinyl records and film posters at the stalls in the square.<\/p>\n Make sure you visit J&J books and coffee <\/em>for second-hand books in English and yes you guessed it right, coffee! They have a cool bar and coffee shop which serves brunch on weekends, so this is a place that will make you feel like a local hipster.<\/p>\n For nightlife, if you feel like exploring the roots of the so called movida madrile<\/em>\u00f1<\/em>a<\/em>, the underground movement that changed Spain\u2019s culture and arts in the 80s, head to bars El Penta<\/em> (where you can enjoy some Spanish music from the 80s and 90s) and La V\u00eda L\u00e1ctea<\/em>, pretty much a rock n\u2019 roll place, with some great tunes and reasonable priced drinks. These usually get busy around 12 am only, so make sure you have a nice pre-drink session first or arrive early to enjoy some chilled time at the bar!<\/p>\n Finally, go to Temple of Debod<\/em>, which is not far from this neighbourhood (around 15-20 min walk) to see an authentic Egyptian temple, brought to Spain from Egypt, as a gift for helping save the Abu Simbel<\/em> temples, threatened after the construction of a dam. This temple is 2.200 years old and is free to enter! Watch the sunset here if you can, to catch some stunning sights.<\/p>\n Temple of Debod<\/p>\n If you\u2019re staying in or visiting Malasa\u00f1a because of the hipster vibe, you will not be disappointed by its many amazing restaurants. Superchulo<\/strong> restaurant<\/a> (which means super cool in Spanish and does not disappoint) stands out from the many restaurants in the area as a plant based vegetarian and eco-friendly restaurant with a conscious positive philosophy. For them, it\u2019s all about creating beautiful, delicious and healthy dishes that are also sustainable for the environment. Here you can have breakfast, lunch or dinner, and even head to the downstairs club for some equally awesome natural cocktails and live DJ sessions – an underground music place they named La Caverna<\/strong> (it means the cave in Spanish). It really is more than just going to eat at a restaurant!<\/p>\n Address: Calle de Manuela Malasa\u00f1a, 11, 28004 Madrid<\/em><\/p>\n If you want to try something more traditionally Spanish, head to Pez Tortilla<\/strong> <\/a>whose menu revolves around two of the most famous dishes from Spain: Tortilla de patata<\/em> (potato and egg omelette) and croquetas<\/em> (croquettes). You can get these two dishes in several different flavours, including vegetarian and meat options, and quite honestly, it goes great with some of their craft beer. It\u2019s simply delicious.<\/p>\n Address: Calle del Pez, 36, 28004 Madrid<\/em><\/p>\n For some tapas, go to Casa Julio<\/strong><\/a> which is also another good choice for traditional Spanish food. Open since 1921, this place offers classic tapas such as patatas bravas, tortilla, croquettes and meatballs<\/em> in what truly feels like an authentic Madrilenian place.<\/p>\n Address: Calle de la Madera, 37, 28004 Madrid<\/em><\/p>\n Right in the heart of Malasa\u00f1a, a few minutes\u2019 walk from Tribunal <\/em>metro station and around the corner from Plaza 2 de Mayo <\/em>square, you\u2019ll find Mad4 You Hostel<\/em><\/a>. Here you can book private rooms for affordable prices as well as mixed shared and female only dorms. The hostel is in a typical 15th<\/sup> century charming Madrilenian building and offers private lockers that can be used with your own room key at no extra cost as well as free breakfast. Every Sunday they host movie screenings if you fancy to have a restful lazy day in!<\/p>\n Hostel Bastardo<\/em><\/a> is another great choice for those who want to stay in this bohemian neighbourhood. It\u2019s also just a few steps away from Tribunal <\/em>metro station and it has a modern look. It offers shared, private as well as female only dorms. Some private rooms come with their own terrace, so you can enjoy some fresh air and get some sunshine from the privacy of your own room! Otherwise just head upstairs to find a massive roof top terrace bar, where you can grab a drink and chill in the sun!<\/p>\n You can also stay at Generator Madrid<\/a>, <\/em>only a few minutes\u2019 walk from the Malasa\u00f1a area, located just off iconic street Gran V\u00eda<\/em>. This hostel, located in a building built in 1930, also offers private and shared (including female only) dorms. It has a bar, restaurant and a roof top terrace with great views!<\/p>\n Generator Madrid<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Lavapi\u00e9s is a multicultural neighbourhood in Madrid, so if you\u2019re planning to stay in this area you will benefit from having a diverse range of cafes, bars and restaurants. You\u2019ll also be very close to Reina Sofia<\/em>, one of the best museums in Madrid, home to the stunning Guernica<\/em>, one of Picasso\u2019s most famous paintings!<\/p>\n If you love Indian food, Lavapi\u00e9s has many Indian restaurants that are cheap and good. But don\u2019t worry, there are many traditional Spanish restaurants to choose from too. Every year there\u2019s a tapa route festival in this area, cleverly named Tapapi\u00e9s, which is definitely worth checking out if you\u2019re in Madrid around October!<\/p>\n This area is known for its medieval looking narrow streets and its cultural centres such as Tabacalera <\/em>and Casa Encendida<\/em> where you can find exhibitions and attend artsy events. If you\u2019re looking for a multi-cultural area in Madrid, close to the best museums and galleries, this is the place for you!<\/p>\n Retiro Park<\/p>\n Let\u2019s start by giving Reina Sofia<\/em> museum another strong mention. This museum is home to stunning art from Spanish artists such as Salvador Dal\u00ed, Joan Mir\u00f3, Antoni T\u00e0pies and of course, Picasso. The historic interior is also admirable, as it used to be a hospital in the 18th<\/sup> Century.<\/p>\n Just a few minutes\u2019 walk away is the famous Prado Museum<\/em>, with Art from other Spanish artists such as El Greco and Goya. Both museums have free admission hours: at Reina Sofia<\/em> you can get in for free every day (except Tuesdays, as they are closed) after 7 pm, giving you two hours to explore or on Sundays from 1:30 pm to 7 pm. At Prado Museum<\/em> you can get in for free every day Tuesdays to Saturdays from 6pm to 8 pm or on Sundays 5pm to 8 pm (it is closed on Mondays).<\/p>\n Reina Sofia Museum<\/p>\n Apart from the museums, you can explore the cultural centres. Tabacalera<\/em>, a historical building which was built in 1790 and used to be home to a tobacco factory during the 19th<\/sup> and 20th<\/sup> centuries, is now a cultural space filled with graffiti art, music performances, art workshops and a quite diverse range of events and exhibitions. Entrance is always free as this centre belongs to the community and is entirely run by the locals, making it a very authentic experience. Opening times are Tuesday to Friday from 12 pm to 8 pm and 11 am to 8 pm on weekends.<\/p>\n Another cultural centre is Casa Encendida<\/em>, with a large showcase of contemporary art. Here you can find art exhibitions, concerts, film screenings and workshops. Entry (including exhibitions) is free, but film screenings are (only!) 3 euros and concerts and performances are 5 euros. It\u2019s a good idea to have a look at their official website<\/a>\u00a0for a full list and schedule of all the events and activities. The opening hours are Tuesdays to Sundays from 10 am to 10 pm.<\/p>\n If you are lucky to find yourself in this area during the last third of October, make sure you attend Tapapi\u00e9s<\/em>, a cultural tapa festival featuring over 90 tapas bars as well as hosting more than 60 musical performances. The route lasts 10 days and is a great option if you want to gorge on delicious tapas which range from 1.50 to 2.50 euros. Very tempting, to say the least. This festival has become so popular (every year they attract more people) that you can even download their official TapaPi\u00e9s app, where you can check out the route map as well as keeping track of all the concerts and events taking place in the area.<\/p>\n Otherwise, just head to San Fernando market, where you can: Eat, drink, have a coffee, buy some cheese, shop fresh organic food, read and buy books and try different types of craft beers! Not necessarily in this order, but we think it sounds great, don\u2019t you?<\/p>\n This neighbourhood is also within walking distance to Atocha Train Station <\/em>(which is worth the visit because of its beautiful indoor botanical garden) and Retiro Park<\/em>, the most famous (and a must-visit!) park in Madrid.<\/p>\n For some traditional Spanish home cooking, try Badila Restaurant<\/strong><\/a>. Here you can have a 3-course meal with a glass of wine for around 12,50 euros (a little bit more expensive during the weekends and evenings). The menu changes every day as the owner shops for fresh ingredients around the neighbourhood every morning and comes up with the dishes depending on what food is fresher or more seasonal. What better way to celebrate being in Madrid than to have a traditional (but with a modern touch) Spanish meal which will feel like it was cooked by lovely Spanish grandparents? We like that the glass of wine comes included in this deal, and the location won\u2019t disappoint either: you can find this restaurant just behind Tirso de Molina Square<\/em>.<\/p>\n Address: Calle San Pedro M\u00e1rtir, 6, 28012 Madrid<\/em><\/p>\n If you want to give Spanish food a break and try some of the famous Indian restaurants from this area, thanks to the diverse Indian communities living here, you can head to Moharaj Restaurant<\/strong><\/a>, which can be found at Ave Maria Street<\/em>. Here you\u2019ll find plenty of Indian dishes such as tikka masala, curries, samosas, lamb, etc\u2026 A lot of options are available for both carnivores and vegetarians. As is common in Spain, the place has a little terrace where you can seat outside and enjoy the neighbourhood\u2019s lively atmosphere.<\/p>\n Address: Calle del Ave Mar\u00eda, 18, 28012 Madrid<\/em><\/p>\n Looking for some vegan food? Go to Distrito Vegano Restaurant<\/strong> <\/a>for all things vegan. Menu of the day is 9,90 euros and includes a starter and main course. But make sure you try their delicious croquettes, made with spinach, mushrooms, caramelized onion and pistachios for 1,50 each and cleverly named \u2018\u2019Grandma Croquetones\u2019\u2019! The place is very cool and unpretentious and has a perfect Lavapi\u00e9s vibe. Here you can have salmorejo (traditional cold tomato soup) vegan Spanish tortillas<\/em> (because vegans should also be able to eat this beautiful dish!), a variety of vegan burgers such as quinoa lentil burger with caramelised vegetables and much more. It is also an Art space and a bar, offering a diverse range of craft beers. Last but not least, they also make coffee which goes perfectly with their desserts. Hard to resist, I would say.<\/p>\n Address: Calle del Dr. Fourquet, 32, 28012 Madrid<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Cats Hostel Madrid Lavapi\u00e9s<\/em> <\/a>is known for having a chilled atmosphere. It is 7 minutes\u2019 walk from Lavapi\u00e9s metro station (even closer is Ant\u00f3n Mart\u00edn metro<\/em>, which is a 5 min walk). What stands out here is its lovely rooftop, where you can enjoy some well-deserved sunshine. You can book shared and private rooms (including male or female only dorms) and breakfast is included. The activities include city tours and pub crawls as well as drinks at its gorgeous rooftop bar.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong>You can also stay at its twin hostel, Cats Hostel Madrid Sol<\/em><\/a> (closest metro station is also Ant\u00f3n Mart\u00edn<\/em> but it\u2019s only an 8 minutes\u2019 walk from Lavapi\u00e9s metro station) which used to be a 17th<\/sup> century palace! It has a bar\/night club inside which is a great place to socialise and meet other travellers. This hostel is quite proud of its social events, activities and party vibes. Here you can book shared and private rooms (including male or female only dorms) and enjoy activities such as the paella parties on weekends. They have a beautiful Andalusian courtyard which really stands out as the most \u2018instagrammable\u2019 meeting point in the hostel!<\/p>\n Chueca is one of the most central and trendiest areas in Madrid – full of restaurants, independent coffee shops, cafes as well as boutique shops with reasonable prices – this area is always full of life during the day and night.<\/p>\n Chueca is also known as the LGBT neighbourhood of Madrid, with many lgbtq+ venues such as shops, cafes and bars. Everyone is welcome, and the diversity is what really stands out in this area. The general atmosphere is of acceptance and respect towards everyone and it\u2019s very common to find tourists, families, straight and lgbtq+ crowds, retired Spanish locals walking with their dogs and people drinking coffee and beer in the many terrazas<\/em> all co-existing in a friendly vibrant neighbourhood.<\/p>\n The best way to enjoy this area is simply by walking around, admiring the still intact 1900\u2019s architecture, or hanging at its popular squares, one of which is considered the main gathering point: Plaza Chueca<\/em>, where you can grab a beer, coffee or have some tapas sitting in its outdoor terraces.<\/p>\n The perks of staying in this area – apart from never getting bored – is that it\u2019s close to almost everything and within walking distance to many famous must-see spots in the city! It\u2019s only a few minutes\u2019 walk to the iconic street Gran V\u00eda <\/em>and around 15 min walk to Puerta del Sol, <\/em>famous central square of Madrid.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking for a diverse, fun and outgoing area, this is the area to stay!<\/p>\n PS: This neighbourhood is famous for having the best LGBTQ+ parties and events during Gay Pride!<\/p>\n Gran V\u00eda<\/p>\n Apart from hanging at Plaza Chueca<\/em>, the main square and meeting point of the neighbourhood, there\u2019s plenty to do in this area.<\/p>\n For food and drinks head to San Ant\u00f3n<\/em> market, which has many different food stalls to choose from. If it\u2019s a sunny day (as it is most of the year) the market has a rooftop terrace restaurant\/bar. It\u2019s easy to fall in love with Madrid when you\u2019re sunbathing, having food and drinks while sitting at a roof top terrace which just happens to have a great view of the area.<\/p>\n As nightlife is huge in this neighbourhood, here goes some tips on where to go. There is a wild variety of bars and clubs for every kind of person and style, and each place will give you a different vibe and experience.<\/p>\n For all the jazz lovers out there, just around 4 min walk from San Ant\u00f3n<\/em> market, you\u2019ll find a jazz venue called Intruso <\/em><\/a>(intruder in Spanish) which is open every day till 5:30 am and offers a large range of different events. Here you can enjoy jazz and soul jams, concerts and performances for very good prices (and sometimes free). Just so you have an idea, checking their schedule for the next few days, they are holding comedy night performances (including some LGBTQ+ themed comedy nights) for just 1 euro (2 euros at the door) followed by free entry to jazz and soul concerts.<\/p>\n Lesbian bar Fulanita de tal, <\/em>also has musical performances like concerts and open mic nights and it\u2019s a great place to go dancing, open to everyone. The bar is quite cool, with retro sofas and a lively atmosphere.<\/p>\n Other lgbtq+ places worth checking are the popular and friendly gay bar Why Not<\/em> – which is under street level and has Spanish and international music (mainly pop) with a mixed age crowd – and also Gris <\/em>gay bar which has more of an indie vibe, offering cheap drinks every day and live music on Saturdays. Both places stay open till around 3:30 am every day.<\/p>\n If you feel like doing some shopping, head to Fuencarral Street<\/em>, near Puerta del Sol, <\/em>for shops which are open late, 7 days a week in a completely pedestrianised street full of bars and coffee shops.<\/p>\n Plaza Chueca<\/p>\n If you want to try some traditional Spanish dishes done in a spectacularly unusual way, head to restaurant Celso y Manolo<\/strong><\/a>. The very long menu offers many famous options such as patatas bravas<\/em> (fried potatoes with a hot sauce), huevos revueltos (<\/em>scrambled eggs), red tuna, calamari sandwiches, croquettes <\/em>and ensaladilla <\/em>(Spanish classic potato salad) all done to perfection in what looks like a very stylish well decorated tavern. This is a great place whether you want to have main meals, tapas or plates to share. It\u2019s better to make a reservation if you\u2019re planning to go over the weekend.<\/p>\n Address: Calle Libertad, 1, 28004 Madrid<\/em><\/p>\n Feeling more casual? Go to El Tigre<\/em> bar where every beer you order comes with a free tapa. It\u2019s usually packed so arrive early or expect to drink and eat standing up by the bar, which is totally socially acceptable here. Some of the free tapas they serve are patatas bravas, jam\u00f3n serrano (<\/em>traditional cured ham) and \n
