Make sure not to miss a stroll through beautiful Buen Retiro Park, either, and save some time for Earnst Hemingway and Miguel de Cervantes to retrace the famous writers' footsteps in the city they loved. It's hard to have a bad meal here, and the special Food Tour will enlighten you as to what makes the local food & bar scene unique.

In all, we have prepared 12 self-guided walks for you to explore Madrid, which cover everything from historical landmarks to world-class museums, charming neighborhoods and shopping opportunities.
