Walking Tours

Madrid is a very easy city to explore on foot as most of the key sights -- palaces, churches, and museums -- are closely grouped in and around the central narrow-alleyed Austrias district, and the city itself is mostly flat. Plus, you don't have to go to the periphery of the city to find beautiful green areas and a bit of respite from the urban hustle. The Retiro and the Casa de Campo can both be reached in 15 to 30 minutes from the Puerta del Sol.
