Book a stay in the Castellana to explore one of Madrid's best known neighbourhoods and stroll the length of this iconic avenue.

The Castellana is one of the six neighbourhoods of the district of Salamanca, in the centre of Madrid. It takes its name from the famous Paseo de la Castellana that, in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, ran through the city from north to south. Today the neighbourhood is the financial hub of the capital, but it hides many more secrets. Book a cheap trip to the Castellana to discover them!

The Paseo de la Castellana is the iconic avenue that runs through Madrid. It begins at the Plaza de Colón, a public space where you will find a neo-gothic monument honouring the famous navigator better known in English as Columbus. In the eastern part of the square is the Jardines del Descubrimiento, commemorating the discovery of America, with a series of curious concrete statues. Check out the detail on them!

Art lovers will come across a pleasant surprise in the Public Art Museum, an open-air exhibition of 17 abstract sculptures by Spanish artists under the Enrique de la Mata Gorostigaza bridge. Don't miss the National Museum of Natural Sciences, dedicated to the study and dissemination of this branch of science and located in an old palace. It is the perfect place to visit as a family, although people of all ages will enjoy its many and varied exhibitions.

Castellana getaway packages are also perfect for sports fans, who will not want to miss the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, the home of Real Madrid. Attend a game at this temple of football or take a tour of its facilities. Visit the museum, where you can see all the trophies and other curiosities, and go into the changing rooms of the stars.

To get here, fly to Madrid-Barajas airport, take the metro, and then a short bus ride. The journey will take you little more than half an hour! Check our travel offers to the Castellana and spend some pleasant days in Spain's capital.
