Plans in Madrid: The best places to take photos in Madrid
We present to you one of the best plans in Madrid: taking photos. In this city, you can find a thousand corners that will drive you crazy if you like photography, so here we want to show you the best places to take photos in Madrid. From buildings, facades, shops, sculptures, panoramic views... you won't be able to stop. These are the most typical, so to speak, although of course, there are many others that you can't miss either. We start with the Temple of Debod , a place that has one of the best sunsets in Madrid. The light as the sun sets and the water that borders the Temple make for spectacular photos. Also in the same place is the viewpoint from which we can take a photo of the Royal Palace and its gardens.
We continue with our plans in Madrid. At the intersection of Alcalá and Gran Vía streets, you can take a typical Madrid photo with the Metropolis building in the background, one of the most beautiful in Madrid. We recommend taking photos at night, when everything is lit up. Remember that our Casual Madrid Theater is just a few meters from this intersection. We continue with our list of photogenic spots in Madrid. In Callao Square, from the terrace of El Corte Inglés, you can also get a beautiful snapshot of this Madrid artery. A key point with Gran Vía, the Callao cinemas, the Palacio de la Prensa, and the Capitol building with its illuminated Schweppes sign. And while you're at it, have a drink or a tapa while watching the sunset.
Places for photography lovers
Let's go a little further. From the Moncloa Lighthouse viewpoint, at 110 meters high, you can get one of the best panoramic views of the skyline. From here you can see the Royal Palace, the Almudena Cathedral, the Telefónica building on Gran Vía, the Cuatro Torres... and, in the background, the peaks of the Guadarrama mountain range. The views from the terrace of the Círculo de Bellas Artes are also wonderful. You can take a photo with the sculpture of Athena, the goddess of wisdom. It's also a great place to have a coffee and visit the exhibitions. Once again, a great addition to your plans in Madrid. And you can't miss the views from the Cibeles Palace viewpoint, one of the capital's most iconic landmarks. Located on the eighth floor, it's also a great way to see Madrid City Hall from the inside.
The Cuatro Torres , the tallest buildings in Madrid. From any bridge on the A-1 motorway, you can take panoramic photos of the towers, but if you don't want to travel so far, you can take more creative photos from different vantage points. The Segovia Viaduct from Bailén Street is a must-see. Just a few steps from the viaduct are the Vistillas Gardens in the La Latina neighborhood. Here, you'll find thousands of corners to photograph, but the views of the Almudena Cathedral at sunset are unforgettable. The Crystal Palace , in Retiro Park, is a very photogenic glass and iron building. The palace, with its lake and surrounding trees, guarantees a beautiful photograph. You can also take advantage of the opportunity to see whatever exhibition is on at the time. The façade of the Caixa Forum , contrasting with the vertical garden, is a must-see. It deserves a good photograph both during the day and at night, due to its lighting.
This concludes our list of our best photo spots for things to do in Madrid. Remember, if you're looking for a hotel, we have a theater and musical-inspired option for you. More information on our website and on hotels in Madrid City Center.
