Madrid is a vibrant and open city where you can find both modernity and tradition living together in every corner. Its cultural offer, its nightlife and its great gastronomic variety make Madrid the perfect destination for your studies.

Madrid is a big culture puzzle which welcomes the traveller with open arms. Therefore, the capital of Spain is one of the European most chosen destinations for visitors from all over the world. The city is also one of the safest cities in Europe. You can enjoy its streets at any time of the day, visit landmarks such as Museo del Prado or the Royal Palace, or taste the typical Spanish dishes whenever and however you want. Public transportation is one of the greatest symbols of the evolution of the capital. It will take you a few minutes to move around thanks to Madrid’s Metro, one of the most developed and cheapest subways in the world. Besides, the bus and train network connects the city centre with the whole Community of Madrid. If you want to go sightseeing during your stay in Spain, you can visit other cities with ancient history, such as Toledo or Segovia, which are within an hour from Madrid.
