I'm trying to write a matrix like the one in the image, but I don't know how to do it (I tried using the align environment, but I had no luck). Any help will be really appreciated. :)

    Welcome to TeX SX! You could do that with the blkarray package. – Bernard Jan 27 '21 at 22:57

    Also nicematrix is promising candidate. – Zarko Jan 27 '21 at 22:58

    Welcome to the TeX.SE community. You can try with kbordermatrix, spalign, nicematrix package for example. But I'm scared of the photo is not that you come from Dante Alighieri's hell? Italy celebrates 700 years since his birth.:-)))))) I'm joking. – Sebastiano Jan 27 '21 at 22:59

Here's a solution that uses only some very basic LaTeX packages, along with center, tabular, and bmatrix environments. I've tried as much as possible to mimic the layout in the screenshot you posted.

enter image description here

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{array,xcolor,amsmath,multirow}
\begin{document}

\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{@{} r @{} l c >{\hspace{7mm}}l @{}}
& \multicolumn{2}{c}{\textcolor{cyan}{From:}} & \
& \textcolor{cyan}{City} 
& \textcolor{cyan}{Subu\rlap{rbs}} % ok, the use of '\rlap' is kludgy...
& \textcolor{cyan}{To:} \[0.75ex]
\multirow{2}{}{$M{=}$} 
& \multicolumn{2}{@{}l}{\multirow{2}{}{%
    $\begin{bmatrix} 
           0.95 & 0.03 \ 
           0.05 & 0.97 
     \end{bmatrix}$}}
& \textcolor{cyan}{City} \
& & & \textcolor{cyan}{Suburbs} 
\end{tabular}
\end{center}


\end{document}

Here is a way to do that with {NiceTabular} of nicematrix.

You put all the elements (text and numbers) in a great array and you put the brackets where you want with the command \SubMatrix in the \CodeAfter.

With the key baseline, you put the baseline where you want (for the alignment with M=).

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{nicematrix}

\begin{document}


\newcommand{\cyan}{\color{cyan}}


$M = \begin{NiceTabular}{cc>{\cyan}l}[baseline=line-4]
\Block{1-2}{\cyan From:} \
\cyan City  & \cyan Suburbs & To: \
$.95$ & $.03$ & City \
$.05$ & $.97$ & Suburbs \
\CodeAfter \SubMatrix[{3-1}{4-2}][slim]
\end{NiceTabular}$


\end{document}

You need several compilations (because nicematrix uses PGF/Tikz under the hood).

Output of the above code
