In Madrid this weekend? The free concerts at the Thyssen terraces start TODAY. Enjoy live music outdoors at Paseo del Prado. Don't miss this exciting event!

What kind of music can you expect?

Expect jazz, classical, and contemporary sets. The lineup changes every single night, so you can go more than once. It's the perfect vibe after a day hitting the streets.

What if you arrive late?

Our advice: get there early. Guests ask us this every week at reception. The terraces aren't huge and they fill up fast, especially on clear nights. Grab a drink at the café and find your spot before the crowd arrives.

How to get there from Interhostales?

Getting there from our hostels is fast. From Inter Plaza Mayor, it's a 15-minute walk (1.2 km). Or take the metro from Sol to Banco de España (Line 2) and walk 5 minutes. From Inter Puerta del Sol, it's even closer—just 12 minutes on foot.

Art, live music, and Madrid's sky. This is the plan that's filling up fast.

Not into live music? Here's another idea.

Not into concerts? The Thyssen's permanent collection is right there. Or walk over to Retiro Park for sunset. But the real energy this weekend is on the terraces. Go.
