Parque del Buen Retiro (Retiro Park) travel guide

Green 118 hectare park located in the heart of Madrid

The beautiful green 118-hectare (292-acre) park located in the heart of Madrid was formerly the private garden of Philip IV. You can take a leisurely walk among the trees and rose garden, go on a boat ride on the lake near the towering 1902 monument of Alfonso XII, get your future predicted using tarot cards from hovering fortune-tellers or enjoy a relaxing game of chess. If you are a serious art buff, you are advised to seek out exhibition spaces located in Palacio de Cristal, Palacio de Velazquez and the Casa de Vacas or the notorious Angel Caido (Fallen Angel) statue on the south avenue of the Palacio de Cristal.
