Parque del Retiro
About
Parque del Retiro is Madrid's most beloved public park, a 125-hectare green oasis in the heart of the city originally created as a royal retreat in the 17th century. The park features the grand Estanque pond where visitors can hire rowing boats, the Crystal Palace glass pavilion, rose gardens, sculpture-lined promenades, street performers, and shaded woodland walks. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2021, it is a free, family-friendly sanctuary enjoyed by Madrileños and visitors alike.
