Centro is the central district in Madrid. It contains most of the city's historical centre, as well as the Royal Palace and the Parliament, and many opportunities for shopping, dining, and nightlife.

Fur this travel guide's purposes it is further divided into three neighbourhood articles:

• Puerta del Sol, barrio de las Letras and Lavapiés – the social and commercial centre of the city, the writers' quarter with many restaurants and bars and the city's most multicultural district
• La Latina and barrio de las Austrias – the oldest part of the city with traditional Mediterranean folk life, and the Palace quarter with the royal residence, cathedral and Plaza Mayor
• Malasaña and Chueca – the hip/alternative and the gay district
