The 10 libraries and study cafés in Madrid best suited to a long session with a laptop or a textbook, led by La Bicicleta, Toma Café and Biblioteca Pública Municipal Eugenio Trías.
Ranked by work score: Wi‑Fi, power, seating, hours, what reviews say about laptops and noise, and who recommends working there. One branch per chain.

But it is also a very central place and perfect for working for a while, with tables with lockable drawers where you can store your things if you need to get up, power outlets, several mobile chargers and free Wi-Fi.
Pero además, es un sitio muy céntrico y perfecto para trabajar un rato ya que dispone de mesas con cajoneras con llave en las que puedes guardar tus cosas si tienes que levantarte a por algo, enchufes, varios cargadores para móviles y Wi-Fi gratis.

I recommend the Reina Sofía library, it's impressive and it's not very far from the BNE. You can bring a laptop and whatever, the only thing is you have to get a card
Te recomiendo la biblioteca del Reina Sofía, es impresionante y no pilla muy lejos de la BNE. Puedes llevar portátil y lo que sea, lo único que te tienes que hacer carnet

CohabsMay 2026 If you can find a space, slot yourself in on the central wooden table along which other remote workers just like you are immersed in their coding, marketing, or graphic design work.
CohabsMay 2026 The best one is La Biblioteca Pública Municipal Iván de Vargas which is situated in the centre of Madrid and is even open on Sundays.
FlatioApril 2022 if you're here during daylight hours, it's also a decent spot to do work. There are two levels kitted out in kitschy decor, and free Wi-Fi.
Caffeinated LivingApril 2023 Ruda Café is a compact study café in Madrid's Centro district, housed in a small space with bare brick walls and counter seating. The place is known for artisan hot and cold coffee, cakes, and reasonable prices.
