My essential Madrid Summer Survival Guide takes you through strategies for enjoying Spain's capital during its scorching summer months. Join me as I explore how to navigate Madrid like a local when temperatures soar above 40°C (100F)—from booking accommodations in the cooler northern neighbourhoods to embracing the traditional siesta rhythm. I'll share insider tips on early morning explorations, air-conditioned cultural havens, refreshing green spaces, and nightlife that comes alive after sunset. Whether you're seeking refuge in historic churches with naturally cooling stone walls, planning your visit to municipal pools, or looking for the best rooftop terraces with cooling breezes, this guide delivers practical advice for travellers determined to experience Madrid's rich cultural offerings without melting in the Mediterranean sun.
