When you think of big cities like Madrid, greenery is probably not the first thing that comes to mind. But the parks in Madrid just happen to be one of the best parts of the city.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Whether you’re a full-fledged nature lover or just looking for a quieter place to get off your feet for a bit, there’s a green space in Madrid that’s calling your name!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

When you come up from the metro and step into busy Puerta del Sol, the only tree you’ll see is the one that the bear is hugging in the city’s famous statue. But don’t let the lights, sounds, and concrete of the city center fool you.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Madrid\u00a0boasts a number of amazing parks, even though most people only know of a few of the main green spaces (if any at all!). We’ve narrowed down our 10 all-time favorite parks in Madrid. Each one is definitely worth a visit and among our favorite free things to do in Madrid.<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Retiro Park<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The most famous park in Madrid\u00a0is\u00a0El Parque del Buen Retiro<\/a>, which most people usually shorten to Retiro. Originally a royal hangout, back in the day it was the stage for garden plays and concerts.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Today, it’s famous for its wide paved paths, sparkling Crystal Palace, immaculate stone fountains, and the sprawling man-made lake, complete with rentable rowboats. It’s the perfect place to bring a picnic, join in a class of outdoor yoga, or simply relax on a park bench.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

You can also experience culture here: in the summer, the park holds free concerts and open-air exhibitions from artists all over the world. All year long, you can also find art exhibits courtesy of the Reina Sofia art gallery<\/a> at two separate venues in the park. Together with the nearby Paseo del Prado, Retiro Park even holds the distinction of being a UNESCO World Heritage site<\/a>!<\/p>\r\n

Although Retiro is definitely a major tourist spot these days, nothing can diminish its incredible natural beauty. Come for a jog or a bike ride or simply to stroll through and admire the beautiful surroundings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Royal Botanical Gardens<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In 1774, King Carlos III decided that he just had<\/em> to have some botanical gardens. He commissioned Francesco Sabatini, an Italian architect who designed the Puerta de Alcal\u00e1 and parts of the Royal Palace, to design them. They’re still thriving today, and a true hidden gem among the many parks in Madrid.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Home to three different greenhouses\u2014each with a different climate\u2014and over 30,000 species of plants, Madrid’s Royal Botanical Gardens are<\/a> an absolute must-see! They’re conveniently located near the Prado, making them the perfect spot to relax and get some fresh air after a morning exploring the museum.<\/p>\r\n

Insider’s tip:<\/strong> If you’re lucky, you might even be able to pair your visit to the gardens with a special event like cheese tasting or a concert! Just check out the event schedule on the official website<\/a> before heading to the gardens.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Casa de Campo \u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Casa de Campo<\/a> is the biggest of all the parks in Madrid\u2014in fact, it’s about five times the size of Central Park in New York City<\/a>!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Covering more than 1700 hectares (4200 acres) of land,\u00a0Casa de Campo\u00a0is packed with relaxing activities and leisure opportunities. On any given warm weekend, local families head here to spend some quality time together. It’s a great place to have a picnic, go biking,\u00a0or\u00a0simply take a leisurely stroll, and especially gorgeous when the leaves start to change in the fall.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Looking for something new and different? Casa de Campo is also home to Madrid’s zoo and aquarium<\/a> as well as an entire amusement park<\/a>. You could spend all day in this enormous park!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Parque del Oeste \u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

One of the most unique parks in Madrid and a true hidden gem<\/a>, Parque del Oeste is dotted with the kinds of evergreen trees usually found farther north in Europe. It also has another claim to fame, though: a beautiful rose garden, which displays a colorful rose show each spring. Strolling through the park when all the beautiful roses are in bloom is a perfect way to spend an afternoon.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Just outside the southern edge of the park, you’ll find a curious treasure: the ancient Egyptian Temple of Debod<\/a>. This is the perfect spot to stop and catch the sunset after enjoying a stroll through the rose garden.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Campo del Moro<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

“The Field of the Moor<\/a>” (as Campo del Moro’s name translates literally) references the Moors’ 12th<\/sup>-century attempt to recapture Madrid. It has one of the most interesting stories of all the parks in Madrid!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As the story goes, during this campaign to conquer what was then the Royal Alcazar of Madrid (on the site of today’s Royal Palace),\u00a0a Moorish leader and his troops camped overnight in this green space\u2014giving it the name Campo del Moro. Today it is situated on the western side of the palace and is a lovely spot to visit.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The park boasts a classical design inspired by the royal gardens of England. Despite its easily accessible location from some of Madrid’s main sights, it’s a tranquil oasis of nature and an especially perfect spot for a romantic stroll.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Jardines de Sabatini<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Remember Sabatini, the architect who designed the Royal Botanical Gardens? He didn’t work on the Sabatini Gardens\u2014which were opened nearly 200 years after his death\u2014but they are<\/em> named in his honor.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

These gardens form part of the grounds of the Royal Palace and are located in what once were the royal stables, which Sabatini himself designed. They’re done in a classic French style, with symmetrically trimmed hedges formed into clean geometric shapes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Jard\u00edn del Pr\u00edncipe de Anglona\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A beautiful walled garden in the heart of old Madrid, the Garden of the Prince of Anglona is a portal to a much older time in Spain.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Created in the days when Goya himself called Madrid home, it’s one of the most\u00a0historical parks in Madrid. It belonged to the adjoining palace and maintains its original design and layout to this day.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This peaceful corner is the perfect place to get off the beaten path<\/a> in Madrid\u2014surrounded by high walls, it’s a bit difficult to spot and few visitors to the city ever make it here! However, once you’re in the know, you can indulge in the serenity of one of Madrid’s best-kept secrets.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Dehesa de la Villa\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Located up on the north side of the city near metro Cuatro Caminos, Dehesa de la Villa requires a bit more of a hike to get to. But don’t worry\u2014we promise it’s so worth it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In 1152, King Alfonso VII gave this piece of land to the township of Madrid as a hunting ground, and it became the local meat reserve for hundreds of years afterwards. Today, it sprawls over 60 hectares, making it one of the largest parks in Madrid!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Unlike a lot of other green spaces in the Spanish capital, though, this park is still densely covered by woodlands. Head here for a magical forest escape and make it back to the city center in plenty of time for an evening tapas crawl.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Parque del Capricho\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This Madrid park, whose name translates to \u201cthe whim,\u201d is actually a private park, open only on weekends and holidays. But if you’re able to work it in to your itinerary, it’s well worth a visit!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Located in the district of Barajas, a little outside Madrid\u2019s city center near the airport, Parque del Capricho is a beautifully designed park with three separate sections. Tthere’s a French park modeled after Versailles, an English garden, and an Italian giardino<\/em>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

All three areas of the park are immaculately maintained, and the space makes a beautiful afternoon trip for anyone who wants to enjoy a little bit of nature in Madrid.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Parque Juan Carlos I \u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This Madrid park is the most modern of them all. Packed with plenty of recreational activities, Parque Juan Carlos I<\/a> is a family-friendly place where you can rent bikes<\/a>, go rollerblading, or have a picnic. Second in size only to Casa de Campo among parks in Madrid, it’s so massive that it even has its own free little train to get you from place to place!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If you’re curious to explore a bit of Madrid’s cultural side while still enjoying the greenery, this is the park for you. Don’t miss the fascinating three-pronged garden that represents the three historic cultures of Spain, with Jewish, Christian, and Arab gardens.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Madrid Rio Park<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As one of the newer parks in Madrid, Madrid Rio Park<\/a> is the pinnacle of culture and leisure in a gorgeously kept-up space. It stretches along the southwestern border of the city center along the Manzanares River, packing dozens of walking and running paths, children’s play areas, and even a makeshift “beach” into its 10-kilometer stretch.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Jardines de Las Vistillas<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

There’s no better way to cap off a long day of sightseeing than to head to\u00a0the Jardines de Las Vistillas\u00a0to watch a beautiful sunset.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This lovely park is on the western side of Madrid, and provides amazing views of the Mazanares River, Casa de Campo, and the Almudena Cathedral. As various colors fill the sky, and the sun slowly makes its way down the horizon, sip on a cold drink on one of the many terraces on the park grounds. (Yes, coming here is the perfect romantic plan in Madrid<\/a> to boot!)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Parque Quinta de los Molinos<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Located a bit further out from the center,\u00a0Parque Quinta de los Molinos\u00a0isn\u2019t quite as well known as many of the other parks on this list. This makes it one of the city’s best-kept secrets!\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The park is home to over a thousand almond trees, which all start to bloom in February<\/a> and March<\/a>. Stroll through the rows of magnificent almond blossoms, and then act like a total tourist and take a few snaps with the beautiful buds. Don\u2019t delay\u2014once the blossoms fall off the tree you\u2019ll have to wait until next year to see them again!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
