The attractive streets host an abundance of shops, restaurants, characterful cafés and lively bars and nightclubs. Plaza Dos del Mayo is a lively square, dotted with cafés and a very popular meeting point both by day and at night. Being so central, Malasaña is well connected to the rest of the city by several bus lines and there are various metro stations in the area.

Although Malasaña used to have a reputation as a slightly edgy and somewhat bohemian part of town, it has since been gentrified and now offers a lively and alternative yet safe and enjoyable place to live. The 19th Century architecture that lines the streets of this Madrid neighbourhood has often featured in films by the famous Spanish director, Pedro Almodóvar. Malasaña is a great place not only for nightlife, but also for art, music and shopping, particularly for vintage clothes shopping and unique artisanal gifts.
