What to see in Madrid
During your visit to Madrid, we would also like to suggest some alternative entertainment options, so that you can fully enjoy your stay in the capital around the Dcode Fest area 🙂
– Food & Dining: Krüger and Clover House are two affordable spots that are great for lunch and or to enjoy a few beers.
– Visit: The Moncloa Lighthouse and the Temple of Debod are two must-sees in the area. We won’t give you too much information, so that you can judge for yourself. But go to the first for great views and the second, for its unique and beautiful environment.
– Going out: Given the wide variety, we won’t dare recommend any gambling dens in the area but leave the choice up to you. If you still have any energy left after the festival, that is.
