“Welcome to Madrid, a vital, welcoming and cosmopolitan city, where no one feels like a foreigner.” – Madrid Convention Bureau
Not only is Madrid considered one of the major cultural capitals of Europe, it has been recognised as 'the top European destination for meetings and conferences' for the last six years, and previously named the world's leading professional meeting destination for two years running, making it a perfect host city for ICS 2024.
The Spanish capital is a unique destination, boasting an extensive range of cultural and leisure activities as well as a vast hotel and transport network, making it the ideal destination for delegates. The city is home to the world's oldest working restaurant, Sobrino de Botín (which also features in the final scene of Ernest Hemmingway's The Sun Also Rises) and world renowned art galleries, including The Prado Museum, which celebrated its 200th anniversary back in 2019 and The Museo Reina Sofía which is home to Pablo Picasso's most prominent piece, Guernica.
Other must-see landmarks nestled within the city include the Cibeles Fountain, and historic squares Plazo Mayor and Puerta del Sol – within which stands the city's official symbol: a statue of a bear nuzzling a strawberry tree. The square also marks the central point of Spain, where all major radial roads in Spain emanate and are measured from. Madrid is not only the cultural centre of Spain!
