Madrid is at its best in spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October), with clear skies and comfortable walking weather. July and August run very hot, so start tours early; winters are cold but bright and uncrowded.
Barajas Airport (MAD) connects to the centre in about 30 minutes by metro or Cercanías train. The centre is compact and walkable, and high-speed AVE trains make Toledo and Segovia easy day trips.
