From the Madrid World / Travel essentials
Walking and safety
Central Madrid rewards walking between nearby landmarks, but crowded transport and busy streets call for the same close attention to bags as other major cities.
Why go
Walking connects the city centre's plazas, shopping streets and monuments more naturally than travelling one stop at a time. It also reveals how close Puerta del Sol, Gran Vía and adjoining neighbourhoods are. Keep valuables secure in crowds and use a planned route when moving through unfamiliar underground passages.
Useful to know
Keep bags closed and in view in the Metro and around Puerta del Sol and Gran Vía.
For a day on foot, group nearby central sights rather than repeatedly returning underground.
If cycling, check current bike routes and Metro carriage rules before relying on a bike for transport.
