Madrid in June

When to go

June in Madrid is warm and mostly dry by the national weather agency's long-term averages, listed in the facts as a guide rather than a forecast. Madrid Pride usually starts at the end of June and runs for about a week, so check whether your dates overlap with it. If the Royal Palace is on your list, check its summer hours, and note that Patrimonio Nacional recommends getting tickets online in advance because the ticket office has limited availability.
