Is Matadero Madrid worth it in a day?

Worth itIn a day

Even on a tight schedule, Matadero Madrid earns the hours.

Allow 1–2 hours.

Madrid's most interesting adaptive-reuse space: industrial brick halls hosting design, film, exhibitions and a great cultural café, with the Madrid Río park alongside. The catch is programming is hit-or-miss — without a show you want, it's an empty campus, so check what's on before going.
