Casa de Campo Park
Casa de Campo Park
This is Spain's largest urban park, covering over 1,700 hectares in Madrid. Originally used as a royal hunting ground, it now serves as a public space for walking, cycling, and outdoor recreation. Travelers visit this area to experience a large natural environment within the city limits.
Getting There and Back
The park is accessible from the city centre via the Madrid Metro or local bus lines. Depending on your starting point and the chosen transport method, the journey typically takes between 20 and 40 minutes.
Planning Your Visit
Because of its vast size, the amount of time needed depends on your activity. A short walk or a visit to a specific area may take 2 to 3 hours, while those wishing to explore more of the grounds or rent a bike should allow a full day.
Timing and Crowds
The park is open year-round. Spring and autumn offer moderate temperatures for walking. It becomes crowded on weekends and public holidays, particularly in the designated picnic and leisure areas. Visiting on a weekday morning is generally quieter.
