There are many places to visit in Madrid and Casa de Campo is definitively one of the most beautiful and interesting ones. It is an urban park of more than 1700hectares where you can enjoy different activities such as mountain biking, walking and others.
There you can also visit the Madrid Zoo and the Parque de attraciones de Madrid, which are also located inside Casa de Campo. Tourists usually ride the cable car called Teleférico which runs from this park to another one and gives you the possibility to enjoy great views of various attractions such as the Cathedral and the Royal Palace.
You can take great pictures in Casa de Campo and you shouldn’t miss the chance to enjoy its boating lake where you will see the wildlife in Madrid. It is said that there are great restaurants in this park and that there are excellent hotels close to Casa de Campo such as the Ibis Madrid Aeropuerto Hotel.
It must be said that Casa de Campo is highly visited by locals as well as tourists of all ages, it is also for children who will love this park since there are many things to do and great activities for them. Casa de Campo is definitively one of the main, if not the most important one, amusement park in Madrid, which is a fantastic tourist destination in Spain.
I assumed that there are at least bilingual personnel in this park, however, you can sign up for intensive Spanish certified courses to learn this widely spoken language.
