Things to do in Madrid during Pride Month (2025)

Madrid in June transforms.
Good weather, lively terraces, vibrant streets and the celebration of LGTBIQ+ Pride turn the city into a welcoming, diverse and energetic place. Whether you're traveling with friends, as a couple or solo, Latroupe Prado Madrid invites you to enjoy calm, authentic and safe plans to experience the city with joy and respect.

1. Explore Chueca, Madrid’s most diverse neighborhood
Chueca is the epicenter of Pride and a district that breathes diversity all year long. In June, its streets are decorated with flags, street art and a festive atmosphere. We recommend:

• Grabbing a coffee at Café Libertad 8 or Café Acuarela

• Visiting inclusive bookshops and design stores like Berkana

• Strolling through Plaza de Chueca and soaking up the vibe

It’s a neighborhood to enjoy slowly, with an open and curious spirit.

2. Enjoy the cultural events of Pride
Beyond the party, Madrid Pride (MADO) offers a rich and free cultural program:

• LGTBIQ+ exhibitions at venues like La Casa Encendida or Círculo de Bellas Artes

• Independent and queer cinema at Filmoteca Española or Cineteca Matadero

• Talks, workshops and poetry sessions in various cultural spaces in the city

Check the official agenda to catch the most interesting events without having to be in the middle of the crowd.

3. Watch the sunset from a rooftop
Madrid in summer means rooftops, and June is perfect for enjoying some of the best views. Here are a few relaxed and inclusive options:

• The Círculo de Bellas Artes rooftop (15-min walk from Latroupe)

• El Jardín de Salvador Bachiller

• Doña Luz, right in Puerta del Sol

Perfect spots to toast with friends or enjoy a relaxed date with stunning views.

4. Route through the most inclusive Madrid
Take a self-guided walk through the emblematic points of LGTBIQ+ history in Madrid. Some places with symbolic value:

• Monument to Pedro Zerolo in Plaza Vázquez de Mella.
• Tribute plaque to the first demonstrations (1977) in Pelayo Street.
• Reina Sofía Museum, which exhibits works with a gender and diversity focus
• This route is ideal if you are interested in learning more about the background to Pride than just the celebration.

5. Plan to relax in Retiro Park

If you are staying at Latroupe Prado Madrid, Retiro Park is just a few steps away. Bring a blanket, some snacks and spend the afternoon outdoors.Also, during Pride month, you'll often find spontaneous performances, live music and organised groups doing yoga, picnics or open workshops. All with a good vibe.

6. Buy local in inclusive markets
June is also a time to support local businesses and brands that promote diversity. Visit:

• Mercado de Diseño - Pride Edition (in Matadero or Chamartín)
• Queer-friendly pop-up in Malasaña
• El Patio Maravillas alternative flea market (if it coincides)

An opportunity to take home a souvenir with values.
