Who wouldn’t want to live in Madrid? It is a city that offers a lot of interesting things and, if you have already visited, you have probably considered moving to Madrid. It’s in the heart of Spain and it’s where modernity meets tradition. Whether to live indefinitely, to study or for work, these are 10 reasons to live in Madrid that you should not overlook.

‍

1. Its culture

‍

The historical and cultural value of Madrid is enormous. Places like the Matadero, the Reina Sofia museum or the Prado are just a few examples of this. The cultural offer covers people of all ages and tastes, from exhibitions to plays. There are many options to discover its cultural offer!

‍

2. Gastronomy

‍

If you are looking for the quintessential Spanish gastronomy, you will find it in Madrid. Not only for its iconic dishes such as callos a la madrileña or cocido madrileño. But also for the huge offer of cafes and restaurants where you will find dishes from all the Spanish provinces, a true enjoyment to the senses!

‍

3. Quality of life

‍

Did you know that, unlike other capitals of the world that suffer from enormous amounts of stress and negative aspects, Madrid is different? In fact, it is in the top 10 of the best cities to live in the world, well above Paris or Rome. And even ahead of Melbourne and Abu Dhabi.

‍

4. Transport and connectivity

‍

It has one of the best public transport systems in the EU. You can go practically anywhere you want by metro or bus, without needing a car. Its privileged geographical location in the heart of Spain means that Madrid has excellent connectivity. Whether by bus, car, train and, of course, by air, it offers a large number of air connections with the rest of the world!

‍

5. Climate

‍

Madrid is a pleasure to live in thanks to its cool climate. The average temperature is around 15°C and winters are not as harsh as in other cities (about 6°C). Summers are warm and perfect to enjoy the city in all its splendor. So the climate of Madrid is not to be missed.

‍

6. Leisure

‍

Being the capital of Spain, Madrid offers a huge amount of spaces to have a great time. From bars and cafes, to the best of nightlife and lots of tapas!

‍

7. Nature

‍

When we think of a big city, we imagine it full of buildings. Not so with Madrid, which is full of green spaces such as Parque del Oeste, Parque del Capricho or Parque del Retiro, to name a few.

‍

8. Squares and architecture

‍

From the Temple of Debod, of Egyptian origin and dating back to the 2nd century BC, to the iconic Casa de Campo. The architecture leaves you in awe with every step you take in Madrid. Of course, a visit to Puerta del Sol or Plaza Mayor is a must. There you can admire the statue of Carlos II, the strawberry tree and the famous bear statue.

‍

9. Employment

‍

Many multinational companies and well-known brands of any sector have established their headquarters in Madrid, which means that there are excellent opportunities for professional development! In addition, the per capita income is higher than in other regions of the country.

‍

10. Multiculturalism

‍

It is not uncommon for many people living in Madrid to come from other cities and countries. This capital city welcomes people from all over the world and makes them feel at home. It is a respectful place with other cultures where coexistence between them is common.
