Summer In Madrid
Madrid virtually shuts down in the summer ; from around July 20 you'll suddenly find that many of the bars, restaurants and offices are closed, and their inhabitants gone to the coast and countryside. Only in September does the city open properly for business again. Luckily for visitors, and those madrilenos who choose to remain, most sights and museums stay open, and a summer nightlife takes on a momentum of its own in outdoor terrace bars, or terrazas. In addition, the city council has in recent years initiated a major programme of summer entertainment, Los Veranos de la Villa . It's not a bad time to be in town at all, so long as you're not trying to get anything done. Note that, throughout the year, most museums (and many bars and restaurants) close on Monday . Major attractions that stay open on Mondays include the Reina Sofia and the Palacio Real.
