MADRID Sightseeing Tours

Madrid is a compact city, and most of the sights you probably want to see are concentrated in a downtown area 2½ km (1½ mi) across, stretching between the Royal Palace and the Parque del Retiro. Broad avenidas, twisting medieval alleys, grand museums, stately gardens, and tiny, tiled taverns are all jumbled together in an area easily covered on foot. The urban texture is so rich that walking is really the only way to experience those special moments whose images linger in the mind.

Sadly, muggings are a serious problem in Madrid, and tourists are frequent targets. Be on your guard as you wander, and make an effort to blend in: wear dark clothes, try to keep cameras concealed, and avoid flamboyant map reading.

Here's our highly selective list of the very best things to see and do in Madrid.
