Reviews from Google
Interesting buildings and open space, but it feels quite empty. Was expecting a bit more atmosphere. Would have been nicer with more cafes or places to sit and enjoy the area. Maybe I just missed them?
The architecture is very nice but the exhibition is very limited. You will find this place is quite empty. Not much you can see in the surrounding area, either, for example limited restaurants and cafe. If you don't have much time in Madrid, you can skip this place.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ A beautiful example of industrial recovery! It is impressive to see how these historic slaughterhouse buildings have been transformed into such a striking cultural space. The architecture is stunning, and it is clear there are many well-managed spaces designed for a variety of artistic and community purposes. However, be mindful of when you visit. We went on a day when no specific events were scheduled, and almost everything was closed except for the main reception area. Without an active exhibition or event, it feels more like a quiet architectural walk rather than a bustling destination.
Gorgeous buildings considering they were a slaughter house. Worth a wander around. Didn't seem much to do if your a tourist as all in Spanish. One art installation was free to enter. Nice river walk with play areas & skateboard park.
A broad space with lots of opportunities to have fun - be it rollerblading, biking, running or just meeting up with people. This place really has a lot of utility and is very beatiful as well!
