Madrid is a non-stop party city with beautiful architecture, amazing food and men!
Madrid is one of the top gay capitals in Europe, with more than 3 million inhabitants. Less touristy than Barcelona, and some would say more authentically Spanish, the city is the home to some of the biggest gay parties in the world.
Madrid’s nightlife scene is world famous and home to the WE party, Europe’s No 1 Gay brand.
Madrid is one of Europe’s most loved capitals, the third-largest city in the European Union, and a welcome respite for gay travellers due to the staggering quantity and diversity of gay nightlife.
The scene is constantly in flux; bars, disco bars and discos close and change names with alarming frequency. Note that a disco bar has a dance floor in Madrid but does not charge entry fees. Discos, however, have a cover charge.
A night out in Madrid can still last a full 48 hours at weekends, depending on your stamina. Madrileños love to tour the bars and discos, so you might find yourself in a place that’s semi-empty one moment and packed to the gills the next.
Madrid is a contrasting city of historical sites by day and a thriving, hedonistic venue by night. Don’t be surprised to find yourself in a traffic jam at 4 am!

World Famous Dining Awaits. During peak easons, some restaurants require reservations a week in advance, so plan accordingly.
Be forewarned! Madrileños like to eat their supper late. By late, we mean dinners that often begin at 11 pm or even midnight. Then it’s time to party.
Tip – Dining out in Plz Mayor is a tourist trap; the La Latina neighbourhood just south of Plaza mayor is a better option, especially along the Cava Baja street. If you want to find a restaurant on your own, you should try wandering through the area bounded by the Alonso Martinez, San Bernardo, Noviciado and Chueca metro stops. There are several tasty, reasonably priced restaurants in this area, along with a lively nightlife scene.
Tip – Local custom requires an aperitif or appetiser before dinner and then a coffee afterwards – but no one says that everything has to be consumed in the same establishment.
Discover the top gay events for Madrid all year, plus the biggest monthly parties and special club nights. Calendar is updated regularly.

You’ll find that pride permeating the steps of flamenco dancers at local tablaos, the roars of cheering crowds at Santiago Bernabéu soccer stadium, and the graceful moves of bullfighters as they wield their fluorescent pink capes in the Plaza de Toros.
The Rastro Market, perfect for a unique souvenir.
Madrid has long been a cultural centre. The birthplace of the Movida Madrileña or Madrid Movement, the city, celebrated freedom of expression and the transgression of taboos imposed by the Franco regime.Madrid has managed to preserve the look and feel of its historic areas, making the neighbourhoods really worth a visit. The city has some of the finest art museums and architecture in Europe, all within easy walking distance from each other.
Notable landmarks include the Royal Palace of Madrid, the Teatro Real (Royal Theater), and the city centre’s Buen Retiro Park, first established in the early 1600s as private gardens for royalty.
