It's also home to some good restaurants, bars and shops. Malasaña : A trendy neighborhood that's close to Gran Vía, this area has lots of young people who like going out at night. It's also a big tourist draw because it has cool bars with live music on Calle Huertas or Plaza Dos de Mayo (two squares). Salamanca : This barrio (neighborhood) offers great architecture with plenty of beautiful buildings like Plaza Mayor as well as wonderful museums such as Museo del Prado which houses many works by Goya. If you're looking for somewhere quieter then this might be the best choice for you. Chamberí : The Chamberí neighborhood is one of the most popular places to live in Madrid. It is a very central area in Madrid and offers endless cultural and leisure options, including Michelin-starred restaurants. It is also a very well-connected area with a welcoming and pleasant vibe.

General living expenses A cup of coffee costs €1.50 to €2.

What is the average rent money in Madrid?

The average monthly rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Madrid is around 900-1,000 euros, although this varies depending on the area. A two-bedroom flat will cost around 1,200-2,000 euros per month, while a three-bedroom apartment will be closer to 1,500-3,000 euros. It’s possible to find cheaper accommodation if you look hard enough and are happy with a bit of a commute, but those locations tend not to be as popular with expats or tourists due to the lack of amenities close by (i.e., bars/restaurants). For example, if you want easy access to central Madrid then renting an apartment outside the city center might cause problems when it comes time to travel to work each day—or getting home after an evening spent exploring. The apartments here are big and spacious, especially when compared to many other European cities. Not only this, but Madrid has a great infrastructure too; there are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby so you won't have to travel far if you want to find some food or clothes or anything else that makes life easier on the daily - it's all right where you live.
