Itineraries & Tours
The itineraries below form an ideal introduction to Madrid for first-timers.
After following them you can dig deeper via the Themed Activities section which pulls together attractions by theme: Art; History; Kids & Families, Parks & Gardens; Football.
Or simply explore Madrid by getting to know the city's different barrios: the Neighbourhoods section gives you the lowdown on each of these and lists each of their attractions.
Finally, if you'd prefer to have someone else show you around, then try a city tour by bus or on foot.
If you are determined to pack in as many sights as possible it might be worth getting a Madrid City Card which provides discounts on some of the main museums and attractions, including the big three art galleries. The card also includes a Zone A tarjeta túristico (tourist travel pass)
