Walking in Madrid
Madrid's centre is a tight cluster of neighbourhoods around the Puerta del Sol, each with its own bars, squares and character. The three great art museums stand in a line along a single boulevard, and the city's evening walk is a way of life.
Terrain. Mostly gentle. The centre slopes down westward to the palace and the river, and Lavapiés is noticeably hilly; otherwise the streets are level or lightly graded.
Heat. Summer afternoons regularly exceed 35°C in a dry heat that catches out visitors. Locals walk in the morning and after 20:00; do the same and use the Retiro and the museums in between.
