It seems like Christmas is getting closer and closer, so much so that we can almost hear the Christmas carols and see the illuminated streets of Madrid. Although this year may be a little different, it doesn’t have to be any more boring. The truth is, the beauty of Christmas lies in the little details: seeing Santa Claus on the street, the Christmas carols, the lights, the nougat, the gifts… these details are what make this holiday so special.

Of course, Christmas activities are also very important because what good is snow if you can’t make a snowman? So, if you’re not sure what to do this Christmas in Madrid, we recommend some plans to get you into the Christmas spirit.

One of the most beautiful activities, ideal for family or friends, is ice skating. It’s one of those activities where you can take home both memories and a few knocks, but it’s certainly one of the most unforgettable. If this is your first Christmas in Madrid and you don’t know where to go, we recommend the Dreams Ice Palace rink.

If you like music and theater, we recommend taking advantage of this opportunity to enjoy one of Madrid’s musicals. If you’re planning a family getaway, the Peter Pan musical might be perfect for you.

Another activity you can’t miss is the Christmas lights. It’s quite a spectacle; some say it’s actually one of the best in Spain. So, if you’re in Madrid, we encourage you to stroll through its streets; who knows, you might even come across a lit nativity scene.

If you’re looking for a handmade gift, then you must visit the Christmas markets. Madrid offers a wide variety of themes in its colorful markets, making it the perfect opportunity to treat yourself to a little something or find an original Christmas gift for your family.
