Discover Madrid's Parque del Retiro, a central retreat that attracts both locals and tourists. Covering over 125 hectares, the park features numerous trails that lead to scenic lakes, impressive monuments and colorful gardens. The Crystal Palace, a glass pavilion, was originally built for the 1887 plant exhibition and now houses rotating art exhibitions.
One of the main attractions is the large weekly market square, where street artists often perform and various activities are offered. You can also take long boat trips on the narrow lake in the park or simply enjoy the peace and quiet in the middle of the city.
The park's history dates back to the 17th century, when it was used as a royal hunting park. Today, Parque del Retiro is a place to experience nature, do sports or simply relax. A visit is worthwhile for anyone who wants to experience the cultural diversity of Madrid.
