Madrid is a great city to discover by walking in its streets, where in a few square kilometers, you have an important concentration of monuments, parks and attractions.
It is highly recommendable to take a panoramic city bus tour, to see in a few hours a general view explained by a guide, and afterwards, go and deepen with walking tours, guided or on your own, what interests you most of what the city has to offer.
