If you are planning a Madrid getaway for Valentine’s Day next month and you want to surprise your partner with a romantic stroll but you don’t know the city very well, we can help!

We have selected 4 of the most beautiful places to watch the sunset in Madrid.

4) EL CAPRICHO PARK

Located in the north-east of Madrid in the Alameda de Osuna neighborhood, El Capricho Park is considered one of the most beautiful parks in Madrid, and not without reason. While strolling through the vast park with your partner, you’ll see features that hark back to Romanticism such as the hedge maze, the palazzo, the chapel and the ballroom.

A challenge: see if you can spot the swans that live in the many streams that run throughout the park.

3) THE POND IN RETIRO PARK

A boat ride at dusk may seem a bit cliché but if you decide to take a stroll through the Retiro Park and rent one as the sun is setting, you won’t regret it.

Just remember, if you have never been in a boat before be careful because although the pond is not very deep and it is easy to maneuver the oars, the boats can tip if you get carried away by the passion of the moment 😉

2) THE PALACIO DE CRISTAL

Another magical place in Retiro Park is the Palacio de Cristal. This large metal and glass structure, inspired by the Crystal Palace of London, filters the evening light in a very special manner.

1) TEMPLE OF DEBOD

First place is undoubtedly held by the Temple of Debod, which is located on the east side of the city center. Lots of recently wed Madrilenians come to these centuries-old rocks to take their wedding photos because, without a doubt, there is something magical about this spot.

Its exceptional location, and its fabulous vantage point, offer an extraordinary view of eastern Madrid and receives the last rays of sun unfettered by buildings.
