Madrid Flight Guide
Latin-American, African and Arabic cultures meet in Madrid, Spain’s spectacular capital. It is one of Europe’s most visited cities and tourists come from all over the world. Madrid is located in the centre of Spain and has a population of 3.5 million people.
The districts of Arguelles and Moncloa offer a variety of leisure facilities which attracts many students and backpackers. The night life offers something for every taste and budget, while excellent culinary delights give a taste of the hearty regional cuisine.
Anyone visiting Madrid who does not visit the Prado Museum has clearly missed out on a great experience. This is where they keep the famous works by Velzquez and Rembrandt & Co., and is definitely a must for arts and culture lovers. To see all the sights of Madrid, experienced travellers recommend an organised city tour by bus or on foot.
The best-known shopping district of Madrid is located in the east of the city, in the district of Salamanca. The stores serve all budgets and fashion styles, unlike the noble street "Calle Serrano" where fashion is available at twice the price.
Madrid is characterized by warm summers and cold winters. Ideal months for a trip are April to June and September to October. July, and especially August, should be avoided due to pressing heat and large crowds. Qantas and British Airways serve the airport in Madrid from Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney, Perth and Adelaide. Depending on connections and stops, the average flight duration will be no less than 22 hours.
