So we thought that it would be a good idea to list here the most easy to reach shopping malls of Madrid. Here we go!
WOW
- Gran Vía, 18
- https://wowconcept.com/
WOW shopping mall, in the heart of the city, is not a real shopping mal but more like a huge concept store. It’s located in an awesome building that housed once the Roma Hotel (and that’s why on the top of the building you will be finding an SPRQ sign, latin abbreviation meaning “The Roman Senate and People” and the Capitoline Wolf statue). WOW is a concept store designed as a multi-brand, multi-product shopping mall where you can find hundreds of branded items born on the internet, complemented by an innovative range of leisure area and food places. Consumers are offered a unique and different shopping experience, both digitally and physically.
In its 5500 square meters, spread over 8 floors, WOW will have a temporary, rotating and, sometimes, exclusive offer of fashion, decoration, technology, design and entertainment, as well as technological leisure spaces, e-gaming, a cooking school, fitness and instagramer studios, a digital museum and even a café where the waiter is an articulated robot
Plenilunio
- Street Aracne 3 (line 5, metro El Capricho)

Although it is a bit further away than some in our list, going to Plenilunio can be the perfect excuse to go for a walk in the nearby Capricho Park: one of the most unknown and beautiful in the city. A very large shopping mall with a large number of shops common to these centres: H&M, Zara, Bershka, Stradivarius, Pull&Bear, Springfield, Blanco, etc. The special feature is Primark, since it is the second largest primark store in Spain.

Did you know that Madrid has a river? We all know that near every river there is life, and Madrid is no exception to the rule.

From its huge terrace,you get to see a very nice view of the river and the cultural center of Matadero, a visit that we highly recommend. Matadero is a cultural reference in the city, which is always in motion, you will find for example exhibition rooms that change regularly.
Madrid and its surroundings have many shopping centers easy to reach by public transport.

A shopping mall in a former 19th century train station transformed into a place of shopping and leisure. It is the most accessible shopping centre in Madrid and is less than a 15-minute walk from the Royal Palace. Its exterior and interior design is worth a visit and although there are not as many shops as other major shopping centres, its gastronomic offer and cinemas are great.

ABC Serrano Shopping Center
- Serrano Street 61
- https://www.abcserrano.com/directorio-de-tiendas/
In the first place, this shopping mall is worth a visit for its magnificent façade and the area in which it is located, the Salamanca district. Salamanca is one of the most important areas of Madrid, both for its particular distribution and for the famous inhabitants who have lived there over the years. The forerunner, to whom the district owes its name, was the Malaguène José de Salamanca y Mayol, Marquis de Salamanca, who designed a new location with a careful construction to house the aristocratic and bourgeois classes of Madrid.
It seems perhaps the least interesting of all considering its small size (the ABC Serrano shopping center offers some exclusive shops and above all, a privileged location). In addition to the shops, the Sweet Space Museum and The Robot Museum.
