Meeting Rooms in Madrid

The best time to host a meeting in Madrid depends on your specific requirements, the availability of meeting rooms, and your attendee’s preferences. However, you’ll be pleased to know that Madrid has a business-as-usual attitude throughout the year, and its sub-tropical climate makes it a meeting hotspot at any time of the year.

Madrid is a safe city and has a relatively low crime rate compared to other European cities. Of course, we would still advise you to exercise caution for pick-pockets and scams, especially when you’re in crowded tourist areas.

We’d also recommend that you stick to busy, well-lit areas at night and use official taxis or reputable ride-sharing services when travelling at night. Madrid also occasionally sees demonstrations and protests, usually related to political or labour issues. While these are often peaceful, it's advisable to avoid getting caught in large crowds or protests. If your event venue passes a protest area, plan your travel carefully since traffic can be congested on these days. 

Spanish is the official language in Madrid although you’ll find that most staff and hospitality partners speak English. Most people in tourist areas also speak English and you’ll find that you’ll easily be able to get by with English.
