Why Madrid is a great place to learn Spanish
In Madrid you hear clear, standard Spanish everywhere, and English is less common than in coastal resorts, so you practise all day. The city is safe, easy to get around by metro, and has something for everyone: art, parks, shopping, football and a famous nightlife.
- Art and culture Visit the Prado, the Reina Sofía and the Thyssen museums, all within walking distance of each other along the Paseo del Arte.
- Parks and squares Row a boat in the Retiro park, and meet friends in the Plaza Mayor or Puerta del Sol.
- Tapas and nightlife Go for tapas in La Latina, and explore the bars and clubs of Malasaña and Chueca.
