Plans and experiences in the area
1. The Royal Palace and historic Madrid: a stroll from the door
Royal Palace, Plaza Mayor and Almudena, on foot
The Royal Palace — the official residence of the Royal Family and one of the largest palaces in Europe — is less than 15 minutes’ walk from Livensa Studios Príncipe Pío. The Plaza Mayor, the Catedral de la Almudena, the Puerta del Sol and the Ermita de San Antonio de la Florida — with Goya’s frescoes and his tomb — form one of the densest historic itineraries in Europe.
2. Madrid Río and the Casa de Campo: Madrid’s great green courtyard, at the door
Running and cycling beside the Manzanares
The Madrid Río park — 10 km of green walkway along the river Manzanares — is directly accessible from Livensa Studios Príncipe Pío. The Casa de Campo — the largest urban park in Europe, with a lake, running circuits, mountain biking and open-air leisure — is a step away. In Madrid, few locations offer this privilege: the energy of the historic centre and nature at the same time.
3. Gran Vía, the musicals and cultural life: Madrid from the stage
Teatro Real and Gran Vía musicals, minutes away
The Gran Vía — Madrid’s Broadway — concentrates the best musicals, theatres and cinemas in the city. The Teatro Real, with its programme of opera and classical music, and the Sala Clamores, a benchmark for jazz and live music, are less than 20 minutes from Príncipe Pío. The Príncipe Pío metro station connects to all of this in just a few minutes.
4. Madrid cuisine: from the Mercado de San Miguel to La Latina
Tapas, markets and the best gastronomy in Spain
The Mercado de San Miguel, the La Latina district: tapas, Sunday vermouth and the Rastro, the Barrio de las Letras and the restaurants around Malasaña are all less than 25 minutes’ walk from Príncipe Pío. Madrid has the highest density of Michelin-starred restaurants in Spain and an unrivalled neighbourhood offering. Breakfast at the accommodation’s own restaurant is the perfect starting point.
5. Shopping and leisure: Príncipe Pío, the Gran Vía and Malasaña
A shopping centre at the door and the Gran Vía
Right opposite Livensa Studios Príncipe Pío is the Príncipe Pío shopping centre, ideal for whatever you need quickly, and the metro and Cercanías station that connects to the whole city. A short distance away, the Gran Vía awaits you with international brands and local shops, and the Malasaña district offers unique stores, cafés and one of the best alternative leisure scenes in Madrid.
