However, not many people know that this city is also one of the greenest in the country. Full of rose gardens, sunset views and water features, Madrid\u2019s picture-perfect parks are made for long, lazy summer days. Here, we\u2019ve selected some of the most impressive parks, from the immaculately maintained Jardines de Sabatini to the wild acres of Dehesa de la Villa.<\/p>\n<h3>Casa de Campo<\/h3>\n<p>Five times the size of Central Park in New York, Casa de Campo\u2019s history is tied up with the decision of Philip II to move his entire court to Madrid, after the king built a manor linking the palace with a hunting area nearby. Declared a Royal Forest under Ferdinand VI, it wasn\u2019t until 1931 that it became a public park. Today, it contains countless activities, from an amusement park to an aquarium, a cable car to old Civil War military installations.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/fuente-de-las-conchas-istock-tella_db.jpg-www.istockphoto.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4168\" src=\"https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/fuente-de-las-conchas-istock-tella_db.jpg-www.istockphoto.jpg\" alt=\"Parks in Madrid\" width=\"1290\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/fuente-de-las-conchas-istock-tella_db.jpg-www.istockphoto.jpg 1290w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/fuente-de-las-conchas-istock-tella_db.jpg-www.istockphoto-200x167.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/fuente-de-las-conchas-istock-tella_db.jpg-www.istockphoto-768x643.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/fuente-de-las-conchas-istock-tella_db.jpg-www.istockphoto-1024x857.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/fuente-de-las-conchas-istock-tella_db.jpg-www.istockphoto-300x251.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/fuente-de-las-conchas-istock-tella_db.jpg-www.istockphoto-600x502.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1290px) 100vw, 1290px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"IVcaption\">Fuente de las Conchas \u00a9 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.istockphoto.com\/photo\/fuente-de-las-conchas-madrid-gm91828457-9019236\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iStock\/tella_db<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Parque del Oeste<\/h3>\n<p>Displaying some of the most gorgeous roses in the whole of Madrid, del Oeste is famous for its evergreen trees and naturalistic, English design.

Try to find the \u201cFallen Angel\u201d if you can; it\u2019s considered to be one of only a handful of sculptures in the world that represents the devil. Or perhaps explore this patch of 15,000 trees for one of its many gardens, which includes the Jardines de Cecilio Rodriguez, organized in a typical Andalusian style.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/retiro-park-lake-istock-arturoll.jpg-www.istockphoto.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4169\" src=\"https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/retiro-park-lake-istock-arturoll.jpg-www.istockphoto.jpg\" alt=\"Parks in Madrid\" width=\"1290\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/retiro-park-lake-istock-arturoll.jpg-www.istockphoto.jpg 1290w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/retiro-park-lake-istock-arturoll.jpg-www.istockphoto-200x167.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/retiro-park-lake-istock-arturoll.jpg-www.istockphoto-768x643.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/retiro-park-lake-istock-arturoll.jpg-www.istockphoto-1024x857.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/retiro-park-lake-istock-arturoll.jpg-www.istockphoto-300x251.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/retiro-park-lake-istock-arturoll.jpg-www.istockphoto-600x502.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1290px) 100vw, 1290px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"IVcaption\">Retiro Park Lake \u00a9 iStock\/arturoll<\/p>\n<h3>Campo del Moro<\/h3>\n<p>Once a field that commemorated the death of \u201cMoors\u201d who\u2019d fallen whilst attempting to recapture the city in the 12th century, in the 19th century Queen Maria Cristina, inspired by the rage for the Romantic movement, converted it into an English-style garden.
