Self-Guided Walking Tour of Madrid (2026)
Madrid is a city that rewards walking because its big-ticket landmarks and everyday life sit so close together: a royal axis of palaces and gardens, elegant boulevards, market streets, and small plazas where the pace slows to café speed. On a self-guided route you can stitch these contrasts into one satisfying day, pausing whenever something pulls you in - a terrace table, a gallery detour, a side street of tile-fronted bars, or a viewpoint that suddenly makes the city’s layout click.
