Madrid in November

Cooler, quieter and excellent for culture.

The short answer

November is one of the best months to visit Madrid.

November brings cooler weather and fewer tourists, making it a strong month for museums, food and relaxed city exploration. Rain becomes more likely, but there are still plenty of comfortable days.
