Greater Madrid is one of Europe’ s greatest regions, blending stunning architecture, cultural riches, glorious gastronomy and vivacious nightlife with a passionate spirit that captivates your heart and lifts your soul. It is also the highest European capital at almost 700 metres, its altitude and proximity to mountains giving it one of Europe’ s most variable climates for a capital but also making it one of its sunniest cities.
The home of Spain’ s royal family and seat of the country’ s government, Madrid’ s cultural treasures include five UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the city centre added in July 2021, augmenting four other existing sites in its environs. Madrid also makes the perfect golf city break, as it is blessed with more golf courses within a 30km radius than any other European capital.
Getting there is easy, too. Adolfo Suarez Madrid- Barajas Airport is just 12km from Madrid and is served by direct flights from across Europe and many other parts of the world, while you can be in the city in 20 minutes by train, metro, taxi, express bus or rental car. Madrid is the epicentre of Spain’ s extensive road and highways network and has fast train connections with cities throughout the country as well as with neighbouring France and Portugal. Once in Madrid, its excellent public transportation and roads make it easy to combine a few days of golf on top-notch layouts with exploring this beguiling city and experiencing some of the best it has to offer visitors.
At the end of your break you will leave with a huge smile on your face while wanting to return as soon as possible to do it all again.
