Planning your visit to Madrid

Madrid is a street city that runs late. The art triangle — Prado, Reina Sofía and Thyssen — sits along one boulevard and splits comfortably across two days; the Royal Palace and Plaza Mayor lie to the west, and the Retiro closes the centre to the east. It is all walkable, with the metro for the longer hops.

Meals set the rhythm: lunch starts after two and dinner after nine, and neighbourhood restaurants simply will not open earlier. The Prado has a free entry window late in the day, with a serious queue. Toledo, Segovia and El Escorial are all under an hour by train or bus, which makes Madrid the best base for central Spain without changing hotels.
