What people say

Valentina Vanegas
"Often referred to as the "Spanish Broadway," Gran Vía is Madrid’s most famous shopping street and a hub of entertainment. The avenue is lined with stunning early 20th-century architecture, including the iconic Metropolis Building with its ornate dome. Gran Vía is also the place to catch a musical, see a movie in one of the historic cinemas, or shop in flagship stores of international brands. As you walk along the street, take time to look up and appreciate the eclectic mix of architectural styles, from Art Deco to Vienna Secession."
Denisse León
"Su construcción se remonta a principios de siglo XX, cuando se levantaron grandes edificios como el Grassy, el de Telefónica o el Edificio Metrópolis."
Tom Ryan
"Madrid's most iconic street has something to satisfy everyone: shopping, architecture, food and more. "
