This appeal as a destination that combines leisure and business is also linked to state-of-the-art facilities and a highly professional, innovative MICE services sector. The city and its meetings industry also have a clear commitment to environmental, economic and social sustainability.
Madrid, talent and innovation in a city built for business
Madrid is a strategic economic and political centre, not only nationally but also in Europe. The Community of Madrid is the fifth region in the European Union by gross domestic product (GDP). This economic strength also shows in its ability to attract foreign investment and in a significant presence of multinational headquarters, embassies and international institutions such as UN Tourism and the WTTC, which have set up their headquarters in Madrid.
Madrid also stands out for its entrepreneurial dynamism, with more than 3,500 startups, accelerators and a fast-growing tech ecosystem, especially in fintech, digital health, mobility and energy.
With more than 15 universities, Madrid is an educational and scientific powerhouse. This means a young, highly qualified population, with more than 50% of workers holding higher-education qualifications.
Madrid. A connected city
- 232 international destinations and 440 routes
- 28 provinces connected to Madrid by train. Hub of the high-speed network
- 303 metro stations along 297 km of network covering the whole municipality.

Madrid. Tradition and modernity in a unique setting
The city offers a UNESCO heritage site in the historic centre: the Landscape of Light, which brings together emblematic places such as the Prado Museum and other institutions such as the Royal Botanical Garden and the Royal Spanish Academy.
Another 6 World Heritage sites less than an hour from Madrid complement this offer in the region (Alcalá de Henares, Aranjuez and El Escorial) and in neighbouring provinces (Ávila, Segovia and Toledo).
With 71 museums and house museums, Madrid can claim the world leading picture gallery, the Prado Museum, and a place where football fans can explore the history of one of our emblematic football clubs: the Real Madrid museum.

Madrid. A city committed to the environment
The municipality of Madrid has 6,400 hectares of green areas which, together with the Monte del Pardo natural park in the Fuencarral-El Pardo district, mean that 35% of the surface of Madrid is green.
The capital also continues to stand out internationally for the number of street trees. Since 2019, Madrid has retained the Tree City of the World title awarded by the FAO.
Madrid 360 is the Madrid City Council environmental sustainability strategy, aimed at improving air quality, making the city highly walkable, and improving mobility and transport.
