Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Very peaceful and beautiful place in the heart of Madrid. You can hear the birds singing and the fishes jumping all over the big pond. Cristal palace was under maintenance, so i definetely need to come back there another time.

    My wife and I walked through the Jardines de Sabatini a couple of times each day during our stay at the Apartosuites near the Royal Palace. In order to get to restaurants and bus tours, we had to walk through the gardens going and coming. It is a tranquil area with fountains and a reflection pool.

    We visited in the winter when most of the plants are dormant and a few bulbs are popping up in anticipation of spring. The greenhouse tropical plants is worth seeing as are the large collection of bonsais. Take your time and enjoy the peacefulness of the gardens.

    This rose garden was the most attractive part of the whole El Retiro Park for me. We were there when all the roses were in full bloom and it was spellbinding with all those rose odors coming from different angles. There are different types and colors of roses and it's really beautiful here.I can not imagine how the place would be when it's not the season for roses though.

    These former palace gardens beneath the Palacio Real are a very pleasant green area to spend some time in. They provide excellent views of the palace and were originally designed to mimic the gardens surrounding the palace at Versailles and this can be seen by the east–west Pradera, a lush lawn with the Palacio Real as its backdrop. The gardens’ centrepiece, which stands halfway along the Pradera, is the striking Fountain of the Shells designed by Ventura Rodríguez in the 18th-century. Either side are very pleasant woodland walks which lead to surprise areas such as the picturesque rose garden hidden away.
    The only issue with these gardens is that there is only on entrance and exit for the public and you have to walk all the way round to Paseo de la Virgen del Puerto to find it.

    At the time we visited, there was no exhibition and the alternative was to take a leisurely stroll through the beautiful gardens, with some important modern Spanish sculptures. The Museum is only a block away from the centrally located Ortega y Gasset Avenue.

    This is a nice park in the Chamartin District. It is a good place for a walk or run. It has some rests from the Berlin wall and also the bear, the icon of the city.
    It is a little bit small though!

    This beautiful garden is located within Retiro Park. Although it was closed the day I was there, photos were taken through the gate.

    Just happened to walk past the gated entrance to this small garden and popped in for a look. Just a small area but some pretty planting - imagine it would look beautiful in the summer. A cool spot for a rest in the shade.

    Although on a much smaller scale Parterre Del Retiro is a lovely little park area inspired by the magnificent Versaille Gardens,well kept with statues and water features ,it's an oasis of calm amidst the hustle and bustle of the more touristic area's of Retiro Park,well worth checking out if you're planning a trip to the most famous park in Madrid.

    The vertical garden in the open space near the Caixaforum is undoubtedly the most impressive we've seen. It is truly breath-taking and stunning. Amazing the number of different species of plants, shrubs and flowers they have growing on the wall!

    Nothing much to see - it is on the way of the walk between the Basilica and the
    palace.
    Activity place for nearby school and dog walking.
