All year long, (hopefully) your little ones have been on their best behaviour in order to be put on Santa\u2019s nice list, so why not make their festive period even more special\u00a0by taking them to some of Madrid\u2019s amazing Christmas activities for children? All across the capital, there\u2019s so much wintry fun to be had, from\u00a0ice rinks, dazzling Christmas lights, Christmas villages and Christmas theatre shows. Here\u2019s our guide to the best Christmas activities for children in Madrid.<\/p>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #1075e0;\">See the Christmas lights<\/span><\/h6>\n<p>Madrid\u2019s festive lights appeared around the city at the end of November so you\u2019re almost guaranteed to spot some twinkling decorations wherever you go.\u00a0Each neighbourhood\/street has lights of different design and colours to project a kind of individual identity and variety. From tree branches and raindrops stretching across massive avenues to small delicate shapes hanging over those small cobbled streets, the magic is everywhere!<\/p>\n<h6><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esmadrid.com\/en\/whats-on\/metropolis-building-light-sphere\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #1075e0;\">The Light ball<\/span><\/a><\/h6>\n<p>Coming back for another year is the amazing installation know as <em>la gran bola de navidad<\/em>. It&#8217;s a spectacular 3D light ball with a diameter of 12 metres, weighing seven tonnes and fitted with 43,000 led lights at the intersection of Calle Alcal\u00e1 and Gran V\u00eda, just in front of the\u00a0Metr\u00f3polis building.<\/p>\n<h6><em><span style=\"color: #1075e0;\">Naviluz<\/span><\/em><\/h6>\n<p>This is another Christmas tradition if you\u2019re lucky enough to get tickets.The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alsa.com\/en\/web\/bus\/naviluz-christmas-bus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Naviluz<\/a> is a blue, double decker Christmas bus that allows you to see the lights in the most comfortable fashion (wrap up well as it can be cold up there!). It really is delightful to see the Christmas lights from the top deck of the Christmas bus. The bus departs from Plaza de Col\u00f3n, and takes passengers on a 40-50 minute tour through the centre of Madrid.<\/p>\n<h6><em><span style=\"color: #1075e0;\"><a style=\"color: #1075e0;\" href=\"https:\/\/planesconhijos.com\/navidad-con-ninos\/cortylandia-la-navidad-de-el-corte-ingles-en-madrid\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cortylandia<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/h6>\n<p>A lot of the department stores get in on the action too, with festive facelifts for shops like el Corte Ingl\u00e9s.
