Best Time to Visit Madrid

Madrid sits on a high plateau and has an extreme continental climate. Spring (April and May) and autumn (September and October) are the best months to visit. Temperatures are mild, 16C to 24C, the city is fully active, and the Retiro Park is at its most beautiful. The San Isidro Festival in mid-May is Madrid's biggest patron saint celebration, with bullfighting at Las Ventas, concerts, and neighborhood fiestas throughout the city. June is warm and cultural life is vibrant before peak summer. July and August are very hot, regularly hitting 36C to 40C. Many Madrid locals leave for the coast and mountains in August. Some local restaurants and small shops close for August holidays. Museum queues are shorter in August because Spaniards are elsewhere, but heat is intense. December and January bring winter temperatures, 3C to 10C, and the Christmas market at Plaza Mayor. New Year's Eve at Puerta del Sol is Spain's national countdown, broadcast live across the country.
