Madrid theatres are an excellent idea if you wish to experience authentic Spanish culture. All throughout the city, you can find various theatres playing a wide variety of genres from international musical, comedic theatres, to classic Spanish theaters. Most of the theaters could be found along the Gran Via or in the Opera districts.
