Madrid Nightlife

Madrid had one of the most active nightlife in Europe during the eighties, the so-called “La Movida”. The city was a hotbed of artistic activity: filmmakers, musicians, actors, writers etc. they all came to Madrid to seek fame and fortune in the Capital of Spain.

Nowadays Madrid keeps up that festive spirit like never before. Any day of the week, party is guaranteed to be outrageously crazy: Pubs, terraces and clubs are crowded with people of all ages dancing and having fun till dawn.

Is Madrid a safe city at night?

Absolutely yes. Like any big city, visiting Madrid does entail some risks. But we can proudly say that Madrid is one of the safest capitals in Europe. Of course, in the wee hours of the morning there are few areas that arenĀ“t recommended, for instance the triangle formed by Gran Via, Calle Montera and Calle Ballesta. Anyway, downtown is strongly guarded by police 24 hours a day so it is completely safe. In fact, there is a Police Station in Montera Street (100 meters from Puerta del Sol Square).
