Wondering how to use your Erasmus year to the fullest? Here are some tips from staff members across our Madrid residences on settling in, getting around, and maximising fun!

“Invest in a Madrid Multi Card (or a bike) to help you get to know the city faster - the easiest it is for you to get around, the easier it is to find all the great things to see and do.” - Stefany, Assistant General Manager at Nido Plaza Castilla

“Join the Erasmus Madrid community on Instagram! It’ll make it easier to find events you want to go to.” - Lidia, Administrator at Nido Aravaca

“An absolute must-do for new Erasmus students is to visit the Plaza Mayor - it’s basically the heart of the city, so there’s basically no better place to soak up the culture here.” - Blanca, General Manager at Nido Príncipe Pío

“Looking for the best food? Start in Mercado de San Miguel and try everything you can! I especially recommend Arzábal Croquetteria for fantastic croquettes.” - Adriana, Administrator at Nido Plaza Castilla

Our recommendations don’t stop here! We have a blog full of advice on Erasmus life in Madrid. From the top places to visit, to the best places for tapas and beer, learn more about what life could look like for you in Madrid.

The cost of a room at Nido Living in Madrid varies depending on two factors: how close it is to the city centre, and what kind of flat it is. The average cost is €1100 per month, with cheaper options further from the centre.

If you’re comfortable sharing your space and excited to live with new people, our shared flats are more affordable. However, if you value your privacy and comfort, you may prefer one of our premium studios.

Depending on your situation, you might be able to receive a grant as an Erasmus student to help cover the cost of living. Learn more about the Living Costs in Madrid here.
