One of the most beautiful parks I have been to! Very big, green and well maintained. It has a rose garden, big lake where you could ride a boat and many other things to see! Great place for walk and relaxation! It feels amazing in the summer and spring!😊 I would visit again!

A vast, beautiful open-air free park that is a must-visit place in Madrid. There are dozens of different locations inside the park itself which in itself are worth visiting. Out of these places I greatly recommend trying the boats in the lake - great fun, especially with friends. The Cecilio Rodriguez gardens and the Crystal Palace are also great locations for some stunning pictures. Be prepared to spend more than a few hours in the park. I’d even recommend spending a whole day in it, absolutely worth it.

A famous spot you must visit when you come to Madrid with plenty of beautiful areas to relax and meet up with friends. Free to access and easy to get to. A lot nicer in the spring or summer, but still a great spot in the winter.

A magnificent park in Madrid with great energy! There are a lot to see in there like the lake and the crystal palace! But it's working hours is 10:00 to 22:00 (Apr-Sept) and 10:00 to 18:00 in (Oct - Mar) If you go to Madrid, you should definitely visit this amazing park! I should confess that the nights of Madrid are more vibrant than most European cities. Even at 12 am, there are a lot of people on the streets who are cheerful, chatting and having fun energetically! So don't miss visiting this amazing park and for sure you can take amazing photos here! There is a nice lake inside the park as well.

Very nice garden, especially in this cold weather! You can watch shows or drink coffee.. I had a lot of fun trading it around the landmarks of Spain, it's a lot like a lot 🏞 It was open the day it opened due to a holiday. Servise us to visit this great place! I recommend it. ✅👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 Madrid 🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸 🔥

El Retiro Park is a tranquil oasis in the heart of Madrid, perfect for a leisurely evening stroll or a relaxing picnic. With its beautiful gardens, scenic paths, and iconic landmarks like the Crystal Palace and Retiro Pond, there's plenty to see and do. Whether you're admiring the colorful blooms, rowing a boat on the pond, or simply enjoying the peaceful ambiance, El Retiro Park offers a delightful escape from the city bustle. Highly recommended for tourists seeking a serene retreat in Madrid. Entrance is free.

Loved this park so much! Beautiful space to go for a stroll, sit and read a book, have a picnic, hang with friends. The crystal palace is beautiful as well as the fountains. Street artists are great entertainers (don’t forget to tip them if you enjoyed them!) and there are cafes scattered around.

This is one of the best spots in Madrid. A huge, open air, free park for everyone to visit. It features water fountains, monuments, sculptures, playgrounds and also little cafes and ice cream shops that make for the best place to stroll around and enjoy a nice day out. There is no toilet paper in the restrooms so be warned. Be ready to walk and get lost in this beautiful place.

Una belleza natural. Vale la pena tomarse unos mates allí

Amazing park to chill in the sun (or when it’s too warm, in the shadow). We were here in January and were able to catch some much needed sun. The lake in the middle is nice, you can rent a rowing boat, but the waiting time for a rowing boat can be up to 1.5/2 hours.

(Translated by Google) The Retiro Park or Buen Retiro Park, popularly known as El Retiro, is a historic garden and public park located in Madrid (Spain). Considered one of the main tourist attractions of the city, it houses numerous architectural, sculptural and landscape collections from the 17th to the 21st centuries, including the Monument to Alfonso XII, the Crystal Palace, the Big Pond, the Parterre, the Door of Felipe IV, the Real Astronomical Observatory and the source of the Artichoke; and even earlier, such as the hermitage of San Pelayo and San Isidoro, of Romanesque origin. (Original) El parque del Retiro o parque del Buen Retiro, popularmente conocido como el Retiro, es un jardín histórico y parque público situado en Madrid (España). Considerado como una de las principales atracciones turísticas de la ciudad, alberga numerosos conjuntos arquitectónicos, escultóricos y paisajísticos de los siglos XVII a XXI, entre los que destacan el Monumento a Alfonso XII, el Palacio de Cristal, el Estanque Grande, el Parterre, la Puerta de Felipe IV, el Real Observatorio Astronómico y la fuente de la Alcachofa; e incluso anteriores, como la ermita de San Pelayo y San Isidoro, de origen románico.

Probably, my favourite park in the city center. Lovely walks and great statues. Many people doing exercises in the park like running, jogging, skate rolling, using trees with elastic bands, etc. Do not leave the city before walking around and going to the central lake, where you can rent a little boat :)

Gorgeous park. As a nature person, it is by far my favorite place to spend the day in Madrid. Perfect to escape the madness, tourists, and commercialization of centro. Great place to people watch and as a gathering point. Has a crystal palace (that was empty when I visited), a museum, and lake. Stays open until 1:00 am in the summer.

Best place to go if you're looking for a nature within the city. Plus Retiro has been recently added as a UNESCO Heritage (2021), so enjoy the park! You can always find a quiet place to do a picnic with kids. You can also find a public toilet there as well. Enjoy!!

The Buen Retiro Park, Retiro Park or simply El Retiro is one of the largest parks of the city of Madrid, Spain. The park belonged to the Spanish Monarchy until the late 19th century, when it became a public park. In 2021, Buen Retiro Park became part of a combined UNESCO World Heritage Site with Paseo del Prado.

Beautiful park in the middle of Madrid. Good place to walk around and people watch. Tons of different trails, so you really can't get bored. Walked around this park for around an hour before realizing that there's no way I could see the whole park in such a short amount of time.

This is such a wonderful park for you to walk through sit for a picnic visit the flower gardens, or of course, taking a boat ride in the small pond. We were lucky to have a lovely day with wonderful weather. Bought some snacks from nearby market and really enjoyed the visit.

Huge park of over 125 hectares with many features including artificial lake, fountains, pavilions, palaces and landscaped gardens. Took more than an hour to tour the grounds just focusing on key highlights like Crystal Palace and Fountain of the Fallen Angel. Make sense to bring an umbrella in case of strong sun or rain. Use the restrooms when you see them as it may be some distance before you see the next one

This park reminds me of Central Park in NYC, but a smaller version and it’s just as beautiful. I loved walking around here and taking in the various monuments, the large pond surrounded with people and also filled with people on the water. The vibes here were immaculate and if you’re looking to do something in Madrid or just wanting to relax then this is the place to be!

Among the top ranked world city parks with activities for all ages, such as walking, paddle boating , and numerous buskers. A great place of refuge away form the hustle and bustle of the city.

Very nice and relaxing park. A few gorgeous monuments/statues/ponds stationed along the walk. Large area, wide roads. Wear comfortable shoes. This is a big park. Free entry. One of the best free things to do in Madrid. And the best things in life are always free. Enjoy!

Beautiful park with lots to see and do

What a lovely, romantic, iconic place to be! It was my wife’s first time in Europe, and Spain. She was elated. I had a great time. So many areas to explore. I enjoyed every minute of it. Having several street vendors is the downside. Hope this issue gets regulated by the authorities of the city of Madrid. This place is a gem 💎

bonito sitio para paseo

My one of a kind park in Madrid Simple yet charming in the beautiful fall weather, very big actually so it takes long to have a walk through if

This is such a beautiful space in central Madrid. It’s probably not as famous as the New York Central Park, but it certainly felt similar and more cultural. It was nice and peaceful to walk in the morning, in fact it would be nice at anytime of the day. The fountain is gorgeous, and at every turn there was a wonderful surprise - a couple dancing tango, to families enjoying a picnic, to dogs playing. Just stunning! If you want a relaxing day in Madrid, this is the place to be.

El Retiro Park El Retiro Park has become Madrid’s most renowned park since it was first opened to the public in 1868. The park’s official name is Parque del Buen Retiro. Retiro is the most important park in Madrid, and one of the most popular places to visit both for locals and tourists. It's 118 hectares of green space in the very centre of the city. This major urban park was built in the middle of the 17th century to be enjoyed by king Felipe IV. Although the park was partially destroyed during the War of Independence, it recovered its charm and elegance and became public. El Retiro is packed with things to see like monuments, galleries, statues, lakes and magnificent buildings. There are also numerous activities on every day, from yoga, roller-blading, puppet shows, musicians, fortune tellers and stands with food and different objects for sale. Top attractions: Estanque (Lake): The gardens house a large artificial lake where many locals and tourists rent rowboats to explore the “Estanque” or you can hop on a larger boat that goes around the pond. It is very close to the entrance of Puerta de Alcalá. Monument to King Alfonso XII: This enormous monument is located on the edge of the artificial lake and was inaugurated in 1922. On Sundays, musicians normally gather near this landmark to play various instruments. Palacio de Cristal (Crystal Palace): Built in 1887 in a wooded area with a small artificial lake, full of small tortoises, the Crystal Palace houses numerous contemporary exhibitions. When it was built, it was initially used as a greenhouse. Palacio de Velázquez (Velázquez Palace): Located very near the Palacio de Cristal, this art gallery always features temporary art exhibitions and is free to visit: highly recommended for fans of art. Paseo de la Argentina: Also known as the Paseo de las Estatuas (Statue Promenade in English) is a broad promenade with two lines of statues dedicated to Spain’s monarchs. The first statues were commissioned by Ferdinand VI to decorate the Royal Palace. Great for kids El Retiro is not only one of the most visited parts of Madrid, it is also ideal if you are travelling with children. Almost every Saturday and Sunday the puppet theatre offers great shows for kids, actors dress up as cartoon characters, you can take them rowing in the big lake and there are also numerous play and swing sets. Location Between the streets of Alfonso XII and Menéndez Pelayo. Schedule From October to March: 6 am until 10 pm. From April until September: 6 am until midnight. Transport Metro: Retiro, line 2. Bus: 1, 2, 15, 19, 20, 26, 28, 51, 52, 61, 63, 68, 74 and 146. Nearby places Puerta de Alcalá (613 m) Prado Museum (757 m) Naval Museum, Madrid (781 m) Cibeles Palace (809 m) Royal Botanic Garden (816 m)

This park is beautiful. Is it sooo big and has a lot of different areas to discover, you could spend the whole day here all if around. Or why not rent a bike or electric scooter which are right outside the main gate

It is absolutely amazing here. There is lot of people reading a book, relaxing and working ou. A fun park and one of my favorite places in Madrid. Just beautiful nature.

This park is safe all the time to walk and enjoy! So amazing to have such a safe, huge green space available for Madrid residents! There are gardens, fountains, historic statues, a lake, turtles, swans, a crystal palace... all a lovely respite of peace from busy streets and lives. Performers play music, perform, draw... a wonderful place to visit!

What a fantastic park! There are little streams with bridges and a big lake on which you can rent boats. There is some kind of house with entire class ceiling and glass walls which is stunning too and all the people seemed so calm and relaxed. Where are you going there with children, your dogs, friends or just for a stroll by yourself this park it’s really really nice

Magnificent and expansive park in the Madrid, which is a must visit place during the visit. There are several interesting sections at the park, the best one is near the lake. Water is crystal clean and it offers the opportunity to paddle. The walks can be enjoyed even more by buying cafe or churros at one the many small shops. Great place to chill, enjoy the day or have picnic with friends.

Must visit in Madrid for a family. Some to this park, free entry., Take a boat on rent for 45 minutes, €8 per boat, max 4 people incl children. You will enjoy the boat self ride. Sit in garden; spend some time near glass house and lake in front of it which has lots of turtles and ducks. You can feed them with bread.. Everything is beautiful here. Must visit. Peaceful..✌️

Excellent for an morning or afternoon walk. Very sunny park with a lot of walking/running trails. Perfect for family, friends, couples or even for walking alone. In the park center there is Crystal Palace (free enterance) but there could be a queue for entering. There is also lake with lot of ducks and small boats to rent.

Such a lovely park! Tons of walking area, very clean and green. Beautiful fountains, lake with little boats, plenty of picnic space, crystal green house (was empty when we were there but typically has some exhibitions/displays), LOVELY rose garden with endless picture opportunities. You can easily spend hours here.

It’s a beautiful large park. If you want to go for a relaxing walk or just relax in a green space, this place is just amazing. This park is surrounded by other sights like the famous Prado Museum, Reina Sofia museum, Crystal Castle. One can spend time boating, there are small cafes and shops to eat inside the park too.

Beautiful and stunning park, with a big area to cover, this place is really magical. You can spend a full day here to enjoy all the areas and still you would not be able to cover it all. I highly recommend you visiting this place. They say this is the Central Park of Europe and in my opinion is way better for sure! ❤️❤️❤️

Simply stunning, you must visit if you have time. Make sure you have at least an hour as it it a huge park with many hidden gems such as the glass palace, which is beautiful. This may be my favourite park out of all the parks I've ever been to.

Wow what a beautiful park, one of thr best I've ever been to, absolutely full of sculptures, statues, buildings, lakes, museums. It's really amazing and an absolute must visit if in Madrid. Spent hours here.

Very beautiful, definitely worth checking out. Great place for families, you can walk your dog and enjoy the lovely scenery. They have several places to eat. You can also enjoy a nice picnic in the park. They have several monuments, statues and water fountains, we had a very nice time when we went.

Beautiful place! Wear comfy shoes, as rocks can get in your sandals. There is plenty to see and plenty places to sit. highly recommend doing a picnic. Also, the glass house was under renovation, so double check that its open if you want to see that.

It’s a beautiful park especially with the warm weather. It’s one of those places where you can just sit for hours and people watch. Very popular with tourists and locals. I think everyone coming to Madrid should come, admire the breath taking architecture. Free admission.

Beautiful, clean park in the middle of Madrid fantastic for walks, picnics, and people-watching. Plenty to do, and if you have the time, definitely spend half a day here to escape the hustle and bustle of life.

Very beautiful. It's perfect for taking pictures. It was huge and it had many gates inside and outside. It's very close to Metro and bus station. The crystal palace is inside along with a museum if you want to visit them as well. Entrance is for free but I'm not sure about the museum or the Palace. There are some cafes as well inside.

Hard to give this anything less than 5 stars. Great for a jog or a run. The lake, rose garden and glass house and the myriad statues scattered around the park are worth visiting. Well connected by public transportation too and a walk away from other attractions

An amazing city park. The best I've visited in Europe. From the moment of seeing the landscaped gardens of The Parterre we were wowed. The statue of King Alfonso XII should have greater fame, there are so many different gardens, architecture, fountains, water features and walkways to be explored. We spent 5 hours and were impressed by so much. Oh, and there are peacocks.

This is a wonderful green space in the city of Madrid. The park is so big that you could spend the entire day here. There are beautiful statutes, paddle boats, mini waterfalls, rose garden, and roaming peacocks!

Great place to go for a walk and relax or do exercise

Beautiful place to spend time with your loved ones!

Beautiful park. Plenty of positive energy flowing about.

It says its open but its not. They are refurning the park

Beautiful park. Great spot for families

Best park in Madrid, a reference point in the city

Nice place to walk by in Madrid, very peaceful. If you like parks this is the place in Madrid, if you like you can rent bikes just in one of the entrances for a few euros. Cafes inside along the park, which is very nice.

If you visit Madrid you have to go this park to have a walk around historical trees, maybe get to see a painting exhibition at Casa de Vacas, may join a group open air activity of any kind, or stare and get a boat in the interior lake if you like to row

Beautiful park!

Awesome place to relax and workout!

Very large well groomed park. Ideal place to picnic or chill out in.

So relaxing, the views are magnificent.. a place to enjoy with families and friends

Great park with a beautiful lake in the middle. I recommend to go there right after the Prado Museum. Walk until you reach a rotatory and turn left, your will find the lake in your right. Take a time and walk to the Crystal Palace. If you like, take the opportunity to have a picnic or just relax under the thousands of tree shadows you can find there.

El Retiro is a beautiful park, is a place plenty of nature, there you can spend a good outside time, is a good place to walk around and in summer you can take a sun shower If you are in Madrid you can't let behind this place without a visiting.

It's so beautiful! The place is really enchanting and breath taking! One of my fave parks that I've visited.

Breath taking wide view of big water pond. I visited two time there. First was in Aug 2015 with my family and second time in Sep 2019. It is really good place to relax.

Very beautiful and tranquil park. Good place to stroll around and jogging.

Una maravilla, me encanta, para cualquier momento, un paseo con o sin niños, bici, patines, barcas, o simplemente una cerveza en el césped o en un chiringuito. Sol y sombra, historia, aire puro y un poquito de Arte. Un privilegio al alcance de todos.

Es un pulmón en Madrid, paseable,gratis

It’s a wonderful place to enjoy a bit of the nature but also you have the option of some small kayaks/ boats at a very affordable price, €6 for 40 minutes (something like that) it’s a nice experience there for a group of friends, or just on your own. Very safe place, I would not recommend to eat food on the small restaurant over there since it’s not fresh and the price it’s high... other than that, it’s nice.

Esta muy descuidado. Parece mentira que siendo un parque tan emblemático esté tan dejado. Poca vigilancia por lo que la gente hace lo que quiere. Hoy había grupos de más de 15 personas

Un oasis verde en Madrid. Y fresquito...

Me encanta pasear por allí.Asi como las exposiciones que suelen poner en casa de vacas ,

El mejor sitio de recreo de MADRID

Una exposición muy bonita y singular

Siempre precioso y cuidado.

Bar con muchas mesas para poder sentarse, comida bastante rica aunque bebida muy cara. Te atienden y te dan un aparato que suena y vibra cuando han terminado tu pedido para que esperes sentado y vayas a por ello. Limpian las mesas tras cada uso.

Es un lugar ideal para pasear. Descubrir un montón de secretos que esconde...esculturas, fuentes, riachuelos, puentes. El gran lago, el palacio de cristal donde puedes ver las exposiciones más curiosas. Casa de vacas. Zonas de paseo. Zonas más boscosas. Imprescindible visita si vienes a Madrid.

Paseos y descanso bajo la sombra.

A busy park where you can find quiet spots easily. The best area is probably in the far back with an Italian garden with peacocks and ducks.

Very nice and romantic place. You can find the shadow under the trees or enjoy Fontaine in front of the park.

The park is really... Really big, perfect for a long walk, jogging, to hang out with sb else or on your own. Highly recommended.

Beautiful park on a beautiful day!! One of my favorite places to go in Madrid.

Great place with many trees and lots of shade. Perfect place to relax

Beautiful walks around the big pond and gardens, great views and a great place to exercise as well, perfect for a day out with the kids and also to enjoy a walk or simply to seat down in the grass and enjoy a book, very centric, free entry and some performers around the park, a must visit if you are in Madrid, lots of koi fish to feed also, and you can get a small boat to enjoy the pond.

One of the most beautiful parks I have ever seen. Think Central Park in, NYC, but bigger, cleaner, safer, more family friendly, more culture, and Spanish. The Rose garden was just blooming in mid-May. My favorite had to be the peacocks. They were so fun to watch and hear. My nieces love the playgrounds and the boat rides at the lake. It's so safe we even walked the park at dark without any concerns. They even have a free museum in the middle of the park. There were picnics happening everywhere.

In my opinion, best place for s walk n relax in Madrid, tons of places to see and to do. Take your picnic basket, with tapas/beer/wine and enjoy.

Como siempre bonito y tranquilo incluso cuando hay más gente.

Se pasea muy bien y hay unas vista preciosa como el Palacio de cristal y el estanque

Espacio abierto con el monumento a Alfonso XII y varias esculturas de bronce presidiendo un gran estanque.

Un lugar a visitar seguro

Excelente espacio para pasear y hacer deporte. Se puede evitar los caminos con más concentración de gente. Fui en momento de alta asistencia.

Amplio espacio para disfrutar de la naturaleza y el deporte.

Es hermoso, hace que te sientas tranquilo... puedes ir a leer, correr, tomar el aire, hacer ejercicio. Es un lugar el cual te da mucha paz.

Ideal para correr tanto en invierno como en verano. Ambiente deportivo y zonas tranquilas pata estar con amigos haciendo picnic o charlando. Tiene estatuas, fuentes y rincones preciosos. En una Joya de España

Un espacio verde y grande con mucho que ver y excelentes espacios para el esparcimiento.. Un día es poco para conocerlo todo

It has a lovely feeling in autumn. The only problem is the crowds since it is so popular, especially during weekends.

Da igual en que época del año vayas, el retiro siempre tiene algo guardado esperando para sorprenderte. Clases de yoga matutinas, grupos de música ensayando , y múltiples clases al aire libre (baile, senderismo...) Además de su belleza con sus zonas de picnic, recovecos, lagos, zonas para jugar a la ajedrez y su palacio de cristal donde se muestran ciertas exposiciones. No puedes ir a Madrid sin pasear por él.

Touristic and very huge Park. I love the C.D.M chopera Football ground. I have been couple of times both for touristic purposes and to exercise as well playing football

Genial para pasear. Tránsito fluido sin masificación. Vigilancia de seguridad. Parque muy cuidado. Una maravilla para desconectar de tanto coche y asfalto. Ideal para pasear o hacer deporte al aire libre.

Aunque no he conseguido verlo todo porque es muy grande, me ha parecido un paraíso en el centro de una gran Ciudad

Un lugar de descanso, naturaleza, muy bien cuidado y en el medio de Madrid capital. Sin lujo un gran lujo para todos los madrileños. Visita obligada para los turistas sin duda.

Zona verde en pleno centro de Madrid. Si evitas los paseos principales y tomas los caminitos de tierra descubres las zonas pas bonitas y especiales de este parque.

Este parque es muy importante en Madrid, tiene un lado hermoso, dónde puedes montar en pequeñas lanchas, en el mismo porque se encuentra el Palacio de Cristal y otros sitios que visitar, en verano sus terrazas están muy bien para tomar algo y disfrutar del ambiente

En los buenos parques del retiro...

(Translated by Google) Oasis (Original) Oasis

Biggest park in Madrid ...good for family and ,sporty people like running ,,biking,skates ,picnics and etc... Accessible to all entrace and exits..

We went to Retiro Park for some down time and a relaxing stroll but you can easily spend a couple of hours there. It’s enormous, with 15,000+ trees, sculptures, fountains, lakes and galleries. Even in winter, the gardens are beautiful. We were there in February so we missed out on the spring flower displays and rose gardens but for anyone who is there in the warmer months, the park is a ‘must-see’. Originally built as the royal gardens in the mid 1600s by King Phillip IV, it was reserved for the pleasure and recreation of the Spanish royal family only. Given that it spans over 125 hectares, that’s a lot of square metres per person. Even they must have come to think of it as unnecessarily indulgent because in 1868, it was finally opened to the public. We started by entering through the old city gates, Puerta de Alcala and wandering down the tree and park bench lined avenues to the stunning central lake, Estanque del Retiro, where you can hire a boat or sit around lazily, like we did, listening to a jazz band playing by the lakeside. The other highlight was the fairy-tale like Palacio del Cristal, an enchanting 19th century glass palace which sits beside a small lake and fountain and has free exhibitions from the Reina Sophia. It couldn’t have been more picturesque. One sculpture caught our eye in particular. The Fallen Angel (1878) is the only sculpture where the devil is the main subject. Sculpted in 1878, it was not some strange form of devil worship, but a study of John Milton’s poem Paradise Lost, when Satan is banished from Paradise. Curiously, it stands 666 metres above sea level. If you have time to spare, the Velazquez Palace is worth a visit. Entry is free and it also has temporary art exhibitions. NOTES: Pathways are wide and flat - perfect for small children needing open area to run. Entry is free. We walked from the Gran Via which took us about 10 -15 minutes

Nice park. Good place to relax & go out for a family day, run, exercise... Nice area for children so they can play. Close to shops and restaurants...

Suoper nice park in the middle of the city to go for an afternoon walk. lake inside the park beautiful and a lot of coffee shops where you can have a cold cana. love it

Lovely park in the center of Madrid. You'll spend a great Sunday there. Ideal for walks, running or paddling. Look for the statute of "The fallen Angel" and check the latitude (666). Madrid is the only city in the world with a monument to the devil. Don't miss the monument to Alfonso XII and its surrounding. Simply spectacular!

Excelente experiencia y uno de los mejores parques que he visitado en España.

Con la pandemia estaba todo muy restringido,pero es un lindo lugar

Muy lindo parque, perfecto para hacer deporte o ir a descansar

Es un parque encantado y bello

Esta genial para dar una vuelta

Muy bonito, una gran opción para pasar un buen día en familia

Está hermoso, hay muchos lugares dentro para pasarlo en familia o con los amigos y se puede llegar fácilmente.

Una gozada. Muy tranquilo para andar en barca. Muchos paseos

Its like you're out of the city in nature but still in the city...

Lugar perfecto para los domingos por la mañana hacer cualquier deporte.

Excelente lugar para hacer varias actividades. Se puede ir con niños, con amigos, pasar el rato caminando, comer algo, leer, etc. Está muy bien cuidado, es grande y bien ubicado en el centro de Madrid. Mejor ir en transporte público si vives cerca porque conseguir aparcar por la zona es complicado. Ahora mismo por la nevada hay muchas cerradas por los árboles que cayeron y ha mucha gente pero no suele ser así.

Un placer pasear por El Retiro y ver la puesta de sol sentado en las escaleras de lago..no olvidarse de admirar El palacio de Cristal !!

Bonito hasta de noche...

Magnifico, recogido y lleno de vida a la vez. Puedes encontrar muchos rincones tranquilos y lugares para desarrollar actividad física, pasear y ver zonas preciosas, jardines espectaculares...

Bonito sitio para pasear en familia, pareja, amigos y sobre todo con niños.

Este es un excelente sitio para ir a visitar en familia...

Muy bonito la gente muy educada todo bien

Perfecto para perderse con un libro o en buena compañia

Amazing!

Maravilloso y enorme parque muy centrico en Madrid. Siempre esta lleno de vida y se llevan a cabo numerosas actividades deportivas. Se pueden ver exposiciones en varios puntos, hay cafeterias y numerosas zonas de un gran valor, tanto botanico como historico. Tiene horarios de apertura y cierre y a veces lo cierran con el mal tiempo o el viento, por lo que hay que consultar esos parametros antes de ir a visitarlo, pero es una parada que no puede faltar para ningun visitante de la ciudad de Madrid

(Translated by Google) The mythical Retiro park, where to go for a walk and if you want to ride a boat for the retreat, although in all my years of life I have done it 1 or 2 times and I live next door, all for the high price that I think they have the boats! I also recommend having something in the surroundings better than inside the park itself where they will sabotage you EVERYWHERE! Even so, I give them 5 stars for how beautiful and precious it is to have a park like this in the middle of the city of Madrid! (Original) El mítico parque del Retiro, dónde pasear y si se quiere montar en barca por el retiro, aunque en todos mis años de vida lo he hecho 1 o 2 veces y eso que vivo al lado, todo por el elevado precio que me parece que tienen las barcas!

Aún así les doy 5 estrellas por lo bonito y preciado que es tener un parque como este en medio de la ciudad de Madrid!

Great city park! Expansive and has a little bit of everything. You could spend many hours here and probably not see it all. We spent about two hours here, and there was lots of shade to escape a hot day in Madrid!

Lovely park, it has everything (statues, forests, lakes and rowboats that can be rented, fountains, museums, gardens including rose gardens, palaces, art exhinitions). The guided segway tour is very good to know all the historical details, in addition to the wonderful experience. It is a must-see destination in Madrid.

Highly recommend visiting this UNESCO world heritage sight. 2-3 -hours to walk the park, or rent an electric scooter and whizz around in 45 minutes to 1 hour. Beautiful park.

Such a beautiful place right in the heart of Madrid. Very nice to visit when the weather is super hot and sunny, because you will feel the freshness of the trees and lakes. The Crystal Palace is placed inside this park, and it's very beautiful as well. The Rose Garden is worth the visit as well.

There are so many different areas to explore in this beautiful park. Theres something for everyone from the wide walkways near the pond and Crystal Palace to the lush quiet areas on the south/west side.

Very very awesome! Huge park with a fantastic crystal palace in the center. Lots of bars inside. Free entry. Perfect place to rest after a long walk or to refresh under the shadows of the trees, considering how hot the city is, especially in the summer

If you are in Madrid, it's a must to visit this park. It's a nice place to meet your friends and enjoy the day.

Very nice park where you can spend 1-2 days to hang out and relax. There are so many places with different atmosphere, depending at the time of the day.

There is sooooo much to see! People working out, tourists, musicians, animals, locals with particular behaviour... it's big enough to spend a whole day I guess.. there were also plenty of playgrounds. Maybe not the coolest, but good enough!

Visited here as part of the segway tour. A worthy park with two key points, the crystal palace and the boat rowing area. The weather was hot but still worth a visit. The line for the boat was long so avoided that even though it was priced rightly at 6€. Worth a visit

"El Parque del Retiro" is a GORGEOUS and BEAUTIFUL place, i love it. Pretty big park, it has vendors inside the park, kiosk, street artist performing inside the park, restaurants, ice cream shops, and two beautiful lakes, one closer to the main entrance in which you can take a boat ride by yourself. The entrance is FREE. You should also know that "El Palacio de Cristal" another popular and famous place is actually inside "El Parque del Retiro" (El Retiro Park). The second lake is by this Crystal palace which is even more beautiful, in this last one you can actually see the ducks and swans. The day i visited the park there was a beautiful black swan that got the attention of everyone. You need at least 3 or 4 hours to see this place completely.

Wonderful outdoor space. Best place for Fall foliage in Madrid from what we've seen. Would definitely return

In one word, I can say that it is a park that you can love. With its magnificent view and huge park, it is a place where you can spend a day with peace of mind! I think the day I went was a national holiday, even inside the park was very crowded. But it was amazing. The inside is very nice to hang out with friends. The surrounding is also very beautiful in terms of scenery. Here I leave a photo of the park and the beautiful people I met in the park 🌈❤️

What a walk !!!! What a place !!! If I live in Madrid I would go every season. They have museums, most of them free, they have different types of gardens, toilets and restaurant. I love it.

This sprawling park was opened to the public in the 19th century. Before that, and since the 16th century, it was part of the Spanish Monarchy possessions. El Retiro Park ( Park of the Retreat) contains many buildings, monuments, and activities. Almost in its center there is a large artificial lake where you can rent a boat and go rowing across the pond. On the eastern side of the pond, the monument of King Alfonso XII, on his horse, is located in the center of a semi-circular impressive marble colonnade. 5 minutes walking you will happen on another monument of a man on his horse this time in more dramatic mood. this one is for General Martinez Campos, Spain prime minister whose :"revolution" restored the Bourbons to the throne of Spain. South of the pond, Crystal Palace is located. One of the nicest structure in the park. It was inspired by the Crystal palace in London. There are many cafes and restaurants around the pond and near Velasquez Palace where you can rest in a very relaxing ambience. Prices are fair and very reasonable. The prestigious Prado Museum is only 10 minutes walking from the park. Admission fee to the Park: Free. Crystal palace and Velasquez Palace may charge some fees for their exhibitions.

Even though the vegetation is no longer at its most spectacular now in December, you can see it's a charming place with beautiful monuments, fountains and a lake in the middle. The park is spacious so even though it was full of people, we didn't feel it was crowded. The only thing I didn't enjoy is the cafés that gave this beautiful place a cheap and touristy feel. Tip: There are big trouts in the lake so take some fish food woth you :)

Amazing park! Incredible how big and beautiful it is. Full of different paths and able to bear whatsoever sport you will to do. Nevertheless, full of art.

It’s absolutely stunning here. Again if you can help it I would highly recommend again if you can to come here during a sunny day. There’s lot of people reading, relaxing m, working out or exploring. It’s such a fun park and one of my favorite places so far in Madrid☀️

One of my favourite park in Madrid! Very big park, free entrance for everyone! You have fountain, exhibition etc. there were also some water sports you can do it with your family and friends. You can spent lots of times here. Recommend a visit!

A very expansive space with amazing tree lined pathways and places to rest. I feel very comfortable and safe walking alone here. There’s even amazing places to view art. It really is one of Europe’s grandest urban outdoor spots. A nice place to wander around and enjoy nature in the heart of Spain’s bustling capitol.

A beautiful open-air park that is a worth to visit in Madrid. There are many different locations inside the park which are very nice. Plenty of benches around to relax and a nice little lake. It worth trying the boats in the lake - great fun, especially with friends. The Cecilio Rodriguez gardens and the Crystal Palace are also great locations to see. You really need more than a few hours in the park.

Last time I was here was back in 1968 and the place still as awesome and impressive as I remembered, one of my favorite parks in Spain the peace and quiet and the large amounts of vegetation and the beautiful lake can transport you to a peaceful place. It's a shame that nowadays the noise and unwanted scream from large cartoon like character wanting to sell you a photo takes away from the real artist (the musicians) that are playing throughout the park and the beauty of this landmark.

It was a lovely place on our visit to Madrid. It brought us back to the fall mood in the middle of December. We walked the alleys and sat by the trees, enjoying the views and did not notice as half of the day went by. I would come back here many more times on my future visits. It is located close to the Prado museum. It is convenient to complement your visit to the museum with a nice walk. If weather permits, it is a perfect place for a picnic to enjoy a nice pastry or Iberica sandwich. It is something I have in my plans for the future. I think this place can be enjoyed in any season and any time of day. I would love to visit it during sunset and enjoy warm lighting brushing the pond at the park's center. Enjoy!

Huge park. Lots to see and do

Parque imenso, recomendo tirar uma manhã ou uma tarde inteira para passear, e também estar preparado para caminhar bastante pois o parque além de lindo é muito grande, contém uma grande área de Gramado caso queira fazer um piquenique com a família ou simplesmente sentar e contemplar a natureza!

Desconectar....

Foarte frumos, merită o promenadă! Atenție la încălțăminte, aleile nu sunt asfaltate, evitați pielea întoarsă

El Retiro park is the Top place to be whenever you’re in Madrid! A must see place! There is always something going on there. Museums, castles, sport fields, botanical gardens, pet parks and so much more… You can take a boat trip on your own little one or on a big ship (like ferry) with everyone. It is a little line, usually, but worth to wait. Amazing place for whole family or for one to enjoy. You can find the cafes and small stores for snacks and drinks. There are horse rides, buggies and many others to enjoy the ride all around the park. I would recommend to have cash with you as there are singers, poets, painters and animators who accept the tips by cash. Best place for hot summer days.

An incredible city park! It's large, well maintained, and very family friendly. It's great for running, walking, picnics, and dog walking. There are so many areas that are all structured for varying activities and interests. There are play areas for younger kids, green spaces for whatever suits you, and workout areas if that's what you're looking for. All and all I'm very impressed.

Pasear por sus grandes avenidas llenas de árboles centenarios, edificios históricos como el Palacio de Cristal, el Monumento a Alfonso XII y el Palacio de Velázquez. Sus fuentes como la del Ángel Caído o la de los Galápagos, su emblemático lago, los Jardines de Cecilio Rodríguez, el Paseo de las Estatuas o el Bosque del Recuerdo, en homenaje a las víctimas del 11 de Marzo. Entre finales de Mayo y Junio se celebra su famosa feria del libro, recorrer las cientos de casetas para comprar algún ejemplar, conocer a tus autores favoritos y que te firmen sus libros. Visita imprescindible.

Schwarze Schwäne und Schildkröten schwimmen dort frei herum. Zu Stoßzeiten ist etwas viel los. Aber dennoch ein gutes Ziel, um sich etwas von der City zu erholen.

Espectacular, ple de vegetació, detalls molt bonics al centre de Madrid.

Bellissimo parco dietro il museo El Prado.pieno di verde e fiori. Luogo ideale per passeggiate, fare sport o rilassarsi in centro della città.

Paz y bienestar. El sonido de la fuente y del viento entre los árboles integrado con la vista del lago, el Palacio de Cristal, las aves acuáticas y los ciprés, conforman un ambiente de bienestar total

A must visit! In the centre of Madrid, this park is sensational, full of wonderful historical statues, a lovely lake where you can get a boat and enjoying rowing around. It is fabulous. There are restaurants, snack bars etc. Loved it....

Amazing place to walk with kids or alone. Take metro - it us the best way to get there. No good parking place, so be ready to walk to park if you park somewhere around. Park is that big, so you need several visits to look everything. Plus boat sailing -6€ per 45 min is perfect

Amazing park, with great walks, in summer when hot there is plenty of shade to sit on a bench or on the grass. Also available bars to eat, drink have ice cream. You can also rent small boat or canoe .

Nice park, but regret spending time here, in the sense that I could have spent more time at El Prado for instance, as this does not seem to me like a unique experience or site. If you must see, you will find many walking paths, verdant scenery, all very nice. There was a book fair while we were there.

Most beautiful park I was ever been to. There are so much space and activities you can do: Children's playgrounds, sports fields, book flea markets, sightseeing, roller skating, ... We were there every day because it is so big.

A very nice park. Clean, beautiful, alive, a nice place to read a book in quite areas under the trees. Good place to relax, take a nap or spend time alone or with friends.

A lovely park enjoyed by tourists and madrileños alike. We went in the evening when the weather started to cool. I had wanted to try the boats, but did not see any out at that time. Lots of shady areas, large walkways with plenty of room for all types of pedestrians (bikes, rollerblades, dog walkers, etc). Then we went back another day during the day when the sun was blazing (fortunately I had an umbrella). I wanted to see the rose garden. I think it was too hot for us to appreciate it and it looked as if the roses were passed their prime bloom, not as beautiful as expected but I could tell it was earlier.

Incredible place to visit watch monuments & spend a relaxing time in park. Best is to avoid during the peak hot times / take shade in green shaded areas. Nice to spend an afternoon

So many paths and places to wander, filled with beautiful trees and delightful statues and water features. Skilled buskers add to the atmosphere. Definitely a welcome relief from the hot summer days to find a shady spot.

Amazing park, which is easy to get to. Soak up the sun in such an amazing place. Even had time for some sangria. Really cool park.

The park was amazing, the lake was beautiful but don't bother going for food there because the staff are so aggressive and don't give a damn about anybody but themselves, even getting the menu was complicated. But apart from that the park is well worth a visit

A nice way to spend time in Madrid and enjoy the scenery, greenery, tranquility, and architecture. Whether you opt to spend the time walking around the park, or you choose to go for a canoe ride in the lake, or just relax in one of the coffee shops spread across the park while enjoying the view, you are bound to have a good time.

OK for a brief visit and a chance to enjoy the afternoon sun. There are many food vendors and a lovely lake. You can rent a boat for a few hours and spend a quiet afternoon relaxing. Not super important to visit if time is limited.

Absolutely stunning! I could have gone back ten times over. The park is big and beautiful. Loved the Crystal palace and around each corner there is some statue or building to see. Highly recommend when visiting Madrid. I would suggest packing a picnic basket, a blanket and pillow and sit under the magnificent trees ❤️

The park is beautiful, is very very big and it is a beautiful experience walking in this enormous green area. I suggest the boat trip in the fake lake, the visit to the crystal palace, to the "rosaleda" and to the fountain dedicated to Lucifer. One of the most attractive places of Madrid. You can't miss it. In my opinion best idea is to visit it in the afternoon in two/three hours. I

A huge, peaceful park in middle of Madrid… we run in the park in morning after then we walk around at noon, although we couldn’t visit every touristic spot. Lots of beautiful, well detailed statue in here. I suggest that every tourist should visit and spend some time in El Retiro Park to relax.

It's a beautiful park but not much to see if you don't have too much time in Madrid. The main attraction is the artificial lake, very blue and huge carp, ducks, turtles. If you are going to see the Crystal Palace, it's closed!! Can only see it from the outside and it doesn't look well maintained.

Beautiful park. There is also a beautiful pond for boating.It’s really fun activity to do Specially with Child above 4 years.(Note:Children under 3 years are not allowed in the boat) We really enjoyed our visit.

A beautiful place in Madrid. Probably the best park in the city. I only visited three during my weekend trip but this one impressed me the most. When staying in Madrid it is worth a walk to this park.

Fantastic spot in Madrid. Don’t miss it when you’ll be here. We were here in autumn and park was just fantastic with all the colors, sunny warm days.. there’s plenty things to do: you can just walk or enjoy drinks and tapas in cafes, make your own picnic, play with kids, do sports…

If you want to experience a peaceful morning in Madrid, this is one of the places to go. People are chilling, exercising, practicing, performing etc, just enjoying their lives. This park is well maintained and perhaps the only inconvenience is a lack of washrooms.

El Retiro Park in Madrid is a true haven that captivates visitors with its delightful charm and peaceful atmosphere. Upon entering this urban retreat, one is immediately transported to a realm of tranquility amidst the city's vibrant energy. The park's well-tended gardens, verdant landscapes, and glistening lakes form a captivating backdrop that encourages relaxation and a connection with nature. A standout feature is the renowned Crystal Palace, a magnificent glass pavilion surrounded by serene waters, showcasing architectural brilliance and providing an ideal setting for leisurely walks or quiet reflection. El Retiro offers an array of activities to suit diverse interests, from paddle boating on the tranquil lake to enjoying live performances in the open air. Rich in historical significance, the park boasts statues, monuments, and architectural remnants that narrate Madrid's compelling past. Whether one seeks a serene refuge or a vibrant cultural experience, El Retiro effortlessly caters to both desires. The friendly ambiance, the enticing fragrance of blossoming flowers, and the gentle whispers of leaves create an environment that leaves a lasting impression. El Retiro Park stands as a must-visit destination, offering a refreshing escape from the city's hustle and a delightful embrace of Madrid's cultural and natural legacy.

I visited Madrid in August of this year (2023) and this was the perfect park to visit in the city centre. There are several tourist attractions, seating areas, ponds and food stands in this park. You can even go kayaking in the main pond. The ponds have several animals in them such as ducks, geese, carp and even turtles. The wooded areas have loads of birds including parakeets, nuthatches, magpies, starlings, blackbirds and loads more! It is an amazing location for those who like nature, birdwatching or walks. I would highly recommend.

Beautiful at any time of the year, but especially in fall with the beauty of the trees, falling leaves, other flora and fauna. It's a wonderful park to walk, rest, read and explore in. There's a man-made lake where the rent row boats. People feed the ducks and fish (huge fish by the way)! Many people have picnics, bike, run or just sit and read. There are public bathrooms and many places to sit down and eat a meal, have tapas, or just tea/coffee. There are a few places to get candy or chips or something to drink as well. A great respite where can just enjoy nature in the center of the city!

Beautiful! Great for long walks. There’s a gorgeous rose garden you can visit with at least 6 different kinds of roses. There’s also a pond with a cool statue, fountains and a glass palace. Unfortunately we could not enter it because it was closed but we managed to make a couple of beautiful pictures because the environment is just really colourful and nice. There’s also a part where a lot of peacocks live. If you’re lucky you get to see the feathers. We spend about two hours in this park. The only thing that I really did not appreciate were the toilets. The park has a couple of public toilets, but they are missing toilet paper, soap and some of them even were missing the seats. If this wasn’t the case, the review would be 5*.

+ Nice park, clean. I still don't get why there's an artichoke fountain but hey, it's cool. + There are a lot of things to see there and plenty of birds. + A lot of weird cool looking trees. + Free art exhibit at Velasquez Palace. - The Cristal palace was closed :( - All coffee shops inside are tourist traps. Do not eat.

Wonderful park and highly recommended!! This park is huge and there's lots to do. It can be very busy as well. There's various food vendors, people playing music throughout, tons of places to walk around, and a big lake where you can paddle with a rowboat. Great park!

Beautiful urban oasis in Madrid to escape the hustle and bustle of the big city life of Madrid. Free entry with plenty of historical monuments and statues to view and a nice lake. Anytime is good to visit - I went at sunrise and it was very quiet, tranquil with plenty of good photo opportunities and very few visitors. The park should be on any person's must see list on a visit to Madrid.

Retiro Park is one of my most favorite places in Madrid - serene urban oasis, lush greenery and very tranquil ambiance!Amazing gardens, super scenic lake, and lots of iconic monuments! Make sure you book a boat ahead of time, it is a great experience!

I absolutely love this sprawling park. It’s filled with little paths that wind through the trees, famous fountains, historic monuments, and ponds, lakes, and little streams. Attractions such as the rowboating in the lake, the rotating art exhibits, and the Crystal Palace definitely make this park worth a visit, not to mention just visiting because it’s a gorgeous park to relax and stroll through.

Large park conveniently accessed by public transit. There's a pond where you can rent row boats, several different snack food places, etc. A great place to run, walk or just relax away from the sounds of the busy city. To give you an idea of the size, a run around the park perimeter will be nearly 5km (3 miles).
