The 10 Most Instagrammable Places in Madrid

Palacio de Cristal (Crystal Palace)

Let's start with one of the city's most classic spots, and rightly so. The Palacio de Cristal, situated in the equally Instagrammable Retiro Park, makes for a fantastic photo shoot in Madrid. Its transparent structure lets in light, making it the perfect backdrop at any time of day. You can get there by metro or on foot from our apartments in 25 minutes.

The Streets of Malasaña

The alleyways of the colourful neighbourhood of Malasaña are clearly one of the most popular places to take photos and upload them to social media. This is where the famous blue mural with eyes was located, which went viral thanks to a photograph posted by the influencer Dulceida. Today, you can still find many works of street art that will take your Instagram feed to the next level. You can reach this neighbourhood on foot in just 5 minutes from our apartments.

Sweet Space Museum

A museum that combines art, colour and fun in every corner. At the Sweet Space Museum, visitors walk through themed rooms filled with giant sweets, neon lights and settings that are as creative as they are photogenic. Ideal for unleashing your imagination and filling your Instagram with unique photos. It is located in the ABC Serrano Shopping Centre, 20 minutes by metro from Gran View Apartments.

Bel Mondo Restaurant

If you're looking for an Instagrammable spot in Madrid, this Italian restaurant just 20 minutes from Gran View Apartments, is a must. Its interior boasts unique corners: an impressive terrace covered in plants and flowers, a cocktail bar surrounded by vinyl records, and a wall illuminated with neon lights that provide the ideal backdrop for your photos.

Plaza Mayor (Main Square)

Plaza Mayor is a must if you want to take a good photograph in Madrid. Its classic reddish façade with balconies is a symbol of the city that will stand out in your feed on its own or with you as a model. We recommend going early in the morning, as it tends to get crowded during the day. If you are staying with us, you can walk there in just 9 minutes.

With colourful rooms, sensory installations, and exhibits that blend art, technology, and light, this venue has become a favourite for visitors wanting to capture extraordinary photos in Madrid. It's only a 5-minute walk from our apartments.

You haven't been to Madrid if you haven't had your picture taken on Gran Vía. Madrid's most popular street is a must if you're looking for an iconic Instagram backdrop. There are multiple corners and options, the most famous being the Metropolis Building, which is only 10 minutes away from our apartments.

Royal Botanical Garden

What better than a natural setting for a perfect photo shoot? The Royal Botanical Garden, just 20 minutes from our building, is beautiful at any time of year. Its vividly coloured plants and flowers will allow you to take unique portraits.
