Book unforgettable activities hosted by locals on Airbnb.

Travel like a local

Madrid is a welcoming city that feels more as if you’re traveling from village to village than across a busy metropolis. It’s a place where you drink the vermouth, typically served with a splash of sparkling water and an orange wedge, and get lost in conversation with locals. Enjoy the tapas, see the art, and take it all in: there are just 5 subway stops in the entire city. Go beyond traditional tours and activities for a local’s perspective of Madrid with Airbnb Experiences.

Secrets of Madrid
We will visit some well known sites and also hidden gems. Tours are only in language at a time. As a driving force and mirror and of the history, culture and art of Spain but also of Europe, along the tour the past will come to life. From the Muslim influence to the austere North European of the Hapsburg and the glamour of the Bourbons, the city is an enthralling mix of cultures. You will discover how a fort of the IX century became the capital of an Empire. In Madrid great stories arise in every corner. This is the city that governed more than half of America and large areas of the world, produced some of the best artists and writers of all time but also struggled with crime, a Napoleon invasion and a Civil War. Along the tour we will visit the city center and the old town through another perspective finding along the way beautiful buildings, hidden corners as meaningful details and misteries and stories that will help us understand the evolution and character of the capital. My goal is that at the end of the tour you will not only see some of the most beautiful and meaningful sites and also less well known great spots, but also understand their deep meaning and how modern Madrid is the result of a series of unexpected events, conquests, successes, catastrophes and contradictions that create a unique urbanism, heritage and culture with great impact in Western culture.

Your guide to Madrid

What do locals do in Madrid?

The true joy here is in the day-to-day, where you can stop and chat with neighbors on your way back from the market, or linger over tapas or dinner. The art scene is big here, and comes in many shapes and forms, from a morning spent in Museo del Prado to a poetry reading at a cafe in the evening. Barrio de las Letras, or the Literary Quarter, near the historic center, is abuzz with activity most of the day, where you can enjoy terrace bars and walkable alleyways. It’s also where many locals go out at night.


Where do locals eat in Madrid?

Tapas isn’t just a tourist thing, many locals would agree it’s one of the best ways to spend time out with friends and family. However, it’s worth taking a cooking class to experience the real Spanish cuisine including paella and gazpacho. In a tapas-making class, you can learn more about the customs and traditions from professional chefs and business owners who sell the coveted jamón ibérico.
