Without a doubt, Madrid is one of those touristic destinations that come great in any travel itinerary, regardless of the time or season you go. Although this year that is finally coming to an end has severely hit the traveling capacity of the majority, this still does not mean that the Spanish capital is going to be turned off for this, the most important of the festive seasons.

And it is that Madrid has always been one of those cities with endless attractions throughout the year, which in turn are complemented by the events that are planned around them.

Although this year the plan to walk the illuminated streets with full freedom of movement will not be so accessible, different surprises will have been planned for different dates throughout the season. It’s a matter of always being vigilant!

Different context means different content; innovating in times of crisis is the key for this year’s festivities

Although the capital always brought us some seasonal surprises, the truth is that the public was used to (and will miss) the open-air concerts, the harvests in the markets, and all the aggravation of the usual season.

And it is that innovation has become a common card of change in what refers to the festivities of this year, especially due to the health context that is still in force at this time, which has been translated into creative ways to bring the Christmas spirit to the homes of the capital.

light shows and digital mappings are taking the spotlight this Christmas season 2020. From complete shows transmitted by stream, to open-air concerts (subject to sanitary restrictions, of course) planned in emblematic places of the city where each musical note will result in a visual spectacle.

In this winter season you cannot miss the traditional ice rinks that are opening in different parts of the city. Of course there are some permanent ones, however, the winter cold is also the opportunity to see artistic exhibits on ice in places of unmatched beauty.

Although public transport will be working (and in fact, there are options to travel the illuminated city by bus), due to the same sanitary restrictions regarding the number of passengers these will be quite limited. An excellent way to overcome this inconvenience, which has been the option of the Madrid transfer services that are operating in the city with relative normality. In this way, not only do they avoid the inconvenience of waiting for public transport or the passenger limit, but they also make the trip much more private and safe.
