Parque Forestal de Valdebebas-Felipe VI

Situated in Valdebebas neighborhood, close to Aeropuerto de Barajas-Adolfo Suárez, you can find Madrid’s biggest urban park. With an area of 340 hectares, it offers everything you might need to enjoy your day outdoors like walking trails, cycling lanes, picnic areas and children’s playgrounds. 

Parque Felipe VI has more than 310,000 trees and 317,000 shrubs and it is a place designed for recreation with its 32 km of walking trails, 5 km of cycling lanes, picnic tables, resting areas and playgrounds. This park wishes to recreate a forest park with vegetation typical for five ecosystems of the central Iberian Peninsul. Its infrastructure also includes an artificial river, two lagoons, a natural spring and a wetland.

The Labyrinth, a round wooden structure in the form of an ascending spiral that serves as a lookout; the Arboretum, five islands with vegetation formations; and the Terraces, platform-shaped gardens that descend to the artificial river, are some of the attractions of this venue.

There are free guided tours of the park all year round. To book yours, call 915478473 and/or email proambiental@madrid.es (check the Habitat Madrid catalogue for available dates).
