Be mindful of the Siesta

You will likely be familiar with the siesta as an afternoon nap time to beat the Spanish heat, but nowadays, it is treated more as a lunch break where many shops will be closed to the public from mid to late afternoon (ranging from around 1 PM to as late as 5 PM.) As you will already be spending a day traveling between Granada and Madrid, it is a good idea to allocate your sightseeing stops to either occur in the morning or later in the evening to avoid being caught out.

Go with a private transfer

While there are buses and trains between the two cities, you will have a much better time on your transfer from Granada to Madrid with a private driver. You can truly make the most of your time in both destinations with Daytrip’s convenient pickup and dropoff transfer service, saving you valuable sightseeing time you’d otherwise have to spend navigating your way to public transport stations.

Prepare for lots of walking

Madrid is famed for its compact and walkable city design, making it a treat for travelers hoping to see all of the sights in just a few days. This makes it essential for you to pack comfortable, broken-in shoes that are seasonally appropriate. Note that while Madrid can be very hot in the summer months, open-toed shoes are not advisable during this peak tourism season because you're sure to get your toes stepped on in the crowds!

Train from Granada to Madrid

There is a train from Granada to Madrid that takes just under 4 hours and typically involves a transfer to a new train in Córdoba. Tickets range from $70-$109 (€65-€100) depending on the time of the train’s departure and how far in advance bookings are made.

Bus from Granada to Madrid

A cheaper alternative to the train is the bus between Granada and Madrid, which is a direct journey of 4-5 hours and tickets start at $33 (€31). As with the train, you will also need to account for the time and money spent on transportation to and from the station and your accommodation.

Flight from Granada to Madrid

Some choose to take a flight between Granada and Madrid, but this is not the most convenient option for covering such a relatively short distance. A direct flight only takes an hour, but any saved time is eaten up by the two-hour pre-departure arrival recommendation and the actual travel time to the airport. The available flights start at $81 (€75).

Choosing instead to drive with a private car service will ultimately save you time and means you can avoid additional baggage fees as well as the hassle of transfers to and from the airport in each city. Plus, this option is much greener than taking a heavy-emissions flight between cities that are not very far apart!

Explore the Plaza Mayor

One of the most iconic sights of Madrid is the Plaza Mayor, nestled in the charming district of Hapsburg Madrid. This is the site of the former Plaza del Arrabal, which used to be the city’s most popular market. You can pay homage to the Plaza’s storied past by strolling along the many shops, enjoying a coffee on the sunny terraces, or simply basking in the grandeur of the city’s main square.

See a Flamenco performance

Possibly one of the first things that come to mind when you think of Madrid is Flamenco. This beautiful art form, complete with extravagant costumes and highly disciplined dancers and musicians, has blossomed in Madrid. It is well worth engaging with this part of Spanish history and culture during your stay in Madrid. Be sure to compare ticket costs across Flamenco companies before booking, and secure your place well in advance if you will be traveling to Madrid in the busy summer months.

Visit the Cerro del Tío Pío

Easily accessible with nearby metro stops, the Cerro del Tío Pío is a hilltop park known for offering the best sunset views of the Madrid skyline. This is a fantastic, free activity for a quiet evening (though there are plenty of places to eat and drink nearby if you choose to make a night of your outing.)

In Madrid, spring is ushered in by the delicate blooms of pink almond blossoms from late February to March. This time is a little cooler and you will see fewer crowds at the main attractions.

Conversely, in the autumn or early winter months, you will be able to sample some of Madrid’s traditional winter fare, such as Cocido Madrileño (a hearty stew of meat and chickpeas dating back to the Middle Ages.)
