Fabulous Park
A nice walk in a green oasis in Madrid, recommended on hot days, the little lake is iconic, the Crystal Palace is under renovation... A must-see is the Reina Sofia Museum....modern art... Highly Recommended

A Relaxing Escape from the City
I visited Retiro Park during my trip to Madrid in July 2025, and it was a great place to slow down after exploring the city's busy attractions. The park is free to enter and much larger than I expected, with plenty of shaded paths, gardens, and open spaces to enjoy. One of my favorite areas was the large pond near the monument, where people were rowing boats and relaxing by the water. It created a lively but peaceful atmosphere and made for some great photos. I also stayed until the evening and was rewarded with beautiful views of the city as the lights started to come on. If you're visiting in summer, bringing water and taking breaks in the shade is a good idea. I ended up spending nearly three hours here without realizing it.

At the Retiro in Madrid
A dream park. I celebrated my 50th birthday with a boat ride (€6). We returned the next day and rented a 4-seat electric pedal go-kart (€30 for 1 hour). Beautiful

Beautiful park, bad tour guide
The park is beautiful, definitely recommend coming here but be careful which tour guide you get, ours was slow and very unenthusiastic, also didn’t have many answers to any historical questions asked.

Beautiful Historic Park
It's beautiful park with an interesting history. Our tour guide, Benny, was terrific. Even though it was a morning tour, it got very hot quickly so he tried to stop in shady spots, which was much appreciated.
