In need of inspiration?
Getting around in Madrid and the surrounding area is simple thanks to our car rental with the buy-back formula. This city has something to offer every single day: shopping, exhibitions, flamenco shows, museums, Nomada markets, Matadero and Motores, art galleries and visits to palaces like Buenavista, Zurbano, Fernán Núñez, Amboage, Duque de Abrantes and Santa Coloma.
If you only have a day or two in the Spanish capital, this is what you mustn't miss: Cibeles Fountain, the Door of Alcalá, Retiro Park, Puerta del Sol, Debod temple, the famous El Rastro flea market and enormous arenas like Las Ventas and the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium for sports fans. The Sabatini Gardens, Madrid teleférico, Royal Academy of Fine Arts and an amusement park may also interest you.
Madrid has this going for it: the city is located right in the heart of Spain. Your car rental with the buy-back option allows you to get out of the city whenever you feel like it. About 10 km from the delivery centre is the Europa de Torrejón de Ardoz recreational park that has something for everyone. Or find your way to the Cuenca Alta del Manzanares regional park, 55 km west of the delivery centre. Do you feel like hiking? Las Cárcavas, a site 60 km north of Madrid, offers spectacular views with its postcard-like geological formations.
A word of advice: As with most touristic cities, it is preferable to visit popular sites on weekdays to avoid the weekend crowds.
