DIY Madrid Center Sights Walking Tour, Madrid, Spain

Recently I鈥檝e been getting a lot of questions about what to do and see in Madrid, where to go, what to eat, etc. So, instead of retyping or copying and pasting half-assed guides over and over, I鈥檝e decided to design a few posts covering my view on my beloved Madrid that I can refer people to!

The first in my Madrid series will be a DIY walking tour of some of the city鈥檚 central sights (and some of my favorites).

There are a few other DIY walking tours online (links below) and even a few free walking tours offered in Madrid, but none of them seemed to cover all of my favorite Madrid sights.

I鈥檓 not necessarily a museum person and I usually travel on a pretty strict budget, so if you can relate to those to things, then this tour is for you. If you鈥檙e looking for a an in-depth history tour or information about architecture, I鈥檓 sorry but you鈥檝e come to the wrong place.

Thankfully, Madrid is a really walkable city, so this tour is completely possible. Everything really is s a lot closer than it may seem. If you didn鈥檛 catch it above, depending on your pace and time spent in each place, you should be able to get this done in about 3-4 hours. ......
