4 day Madrid itinerary

Madrid is one of those cities where visitors suffer for no reason, because they try to live on a different clock than the city does. Dinner at seven gets you empty rooms and tourist menus, while the same restaurant at ten is another place entirely. This route is built around the local rhythm.

The shape of the route

  1. Day 1, the historic centre
  2. Day 2, the museum triangle
  3. Day 3, neighbourhoods
  4. Day 4, a day trip
  5. Before your flight

This is the outline only. The detail of each day, the order of the sights, opening hours, real travel times and food recommendations, is built for you around your dates and your pace. Get the full itinerary
