Keep reading! We’ll tell you everything you need to know: what to do in Madrid in June, what the weather is like, which concerts and festivals you can’t miss—regardless of the genre you like—and a few tips.
Madrid’s weather in June: what to expect?
The weather in Madrid in June is, in general, very good. It is one of the most pleasant months of the year. High temperatures range between 26 and 33°C. At night the temperature drops quite a bit, but even so, if you are going to be outdoors when the sun goes down, you will be comfortable. Take our word for it, we live here! And well, since June is long and is the prequel to summer, keep in mind that the second half of the month is always much hotter.
Rain throughout the month of June in Madrid is infrequent. A few drops might fall, but nothing you should worry about too much. In general, you will have clear days and plenty of natural light from early morning until late at night.
The best festivals and concerts in Madrid in June
The concert schedule in June in Madrid is one of the most complete of the year, with a huge variety of options. Whether you are looking for pop, rock, electronic, indie, jazz, blues, or Caribbean rhythms… you’ll be able to find everything!
If reggaeton and urban rhythms are your thing, “I Love Reggaeton” and “Puro Latino Madrid Fest” will bring you the very best of Latin music. If you prefer dance and techno, “A Summer Story” is one of the most anticipated electronic music festivals of June in Madrid.
More into pop and rock from other decades? “Love the 90’s” and “Love the Twenties” take you back to the best hits of the nineties and the two thousands, respectively.
And if you are looking for something a bit quieter, “Noches del Botánico” offers concerts in one of Madrid’s most beautiful gardens with national and international pop, soul, and folk artists, while the “Early Music Festival” is a highly recommended choice if you love classical and early music.
More. More and more. Because also in June in Madrid, the schedule—which, as you can see, leaves no one without a plan—is completed with “Blockparty Arganzuela”, a rock, punk, and garage festival, and with “Alma Festival,” a series of pop, rock, and indie concerts.
The best part? Many of these events are organized outdoors or in charming spaces, which makes the experience of enjoying music festivals in Madrid even more special.
Other plans to enjoy Madrid in June
Well, after choosing a musical plan, it’s time to discover other sides of the city, starting with the iconic Retiro Park. Taking a stroll through its gardens, visiting the Crystal Palace, and—since the weather is almost guaranteed to be nice in June—getting on one of the boats on the pond is a classic plan for a getaway to Madrid.
Another must in June is exploring the best neighborhoods in Madrid. The liveliest are Malasaña, Chueca, La Latina, and the Barrio de las Letras.
Feel like something more cultural? Museums are always a great option. The Prado, the Reina Sofía, and the Thyssen form Madrid’s art triangle and together they house one of the best painting collections in the world. That said, there are more visitors in summer, so try to get your tickets as soon as possible.
Additionally, the major theaters downtown keep their schedules very busy, and it’s common to find top-tier national and international productions, as well as various monologues, podcast recordings, musicals, and screenings.
And of course, June in Madrid is terrace season. Squares and streets fill with tables and chairs, and the best rooftops in Madrid start to fill with people eager to enjoy the longest nights of the year. Don’t leave without watching a sunset from a tall building and without trying a vermouth at the San Miguel Market or some beers at a classic tavern in La Latina!

If you’re already sure that June is your month to visit Madrid, all that’s left is to pack your suitcase! Remember to bring clothes to enjoy the good weather and something warm, as it gets cool at night. With that and the desire to explore the city, you’re all set.
