The capital Madrid is located in the middle of Spain, and is a true European metropolis with its over 3 million inhabitants. The city has a continental climate, which gives cold winters without snow, but in turn 25-35 degrees in summer.
Madrid offers culinary experiences with its delicious Spanish Paella, tapas and more. We recommend washing the food down with a nice glass of sangria during the sunset in the pleasant climate. The city is known for its art, which gives rise to cultural experiences and countless acclaimed musicals.
Archure is one of the most beautiful in Europe and compliments the many beautiful parks, natural areas and outdoor areas.
The night life is something for itself in Madrid, and probably contains more bars than any other city on this planet. There's a sensible mix of cocktail bars and nightclubs with a glamorous charm that simply appeals to dancing late into the night.

Jeg ledte efter et freemover-ophold i udlandet gennem Uniclub, og jeg fik noget af den bedste service, jeg har oplevet. De tog sig af alt det praktiske, og fjernede næsten alt det besvær med arbejde, det kan være at ansøge om et udvekslingsophold.

Havde fantastisk service og hjælp gennem hele processen. Vil bestemt anbefale
Jeg skal til Australien i et semester, og før jeg fandt Uniclub, virkede hele ansøgningsprocessen umulig. De her gutter er simpelthen de bedste. De har det rigtige svar på bogstaveligt talt ethvert spørgsmål, du har. De er hjælpsomme, hurtige, med fremragende service
Uniclub og Deni Isic, få min absolut varmeste anbefaling! Jeg havde en drøm om at komme til Japan, der virkede fjern og uhåndterlig, men Deni og resten af Uniclub har hjulpet mig gennem hele processen.
Jeg er lige vendt tilbage fra mit udvekslingsophold i Irland, hvilket ikke ville have været muligt, hvis det ikke var for Uniclub. Hvis du leder efter en udveksling som freemover, så kan jeg ikke anbefale UniClub nok!
