What to see by foot: Madrid

The city of Madrid, although sprawling ever outwards, is actually very compact
in its centre, and most sights are easily accessible on foot.
Begin a walking tour by visiting the Royal Palace. This impressive structure
is still home to Spanish royalty, who unlike in the past, now have only limited
authority. It was built in the 1560s and is adjacent to a pleasant park.
After leaving the palace, walk across the city to the Plaza Mayor, which is
at the heart of the old capital. This enclosed square used to be the scene of
mass executions when the feared Spanish Inquisition was at its most powerful
and deadly. Now it is more famed for its expensive cafés and craft shops.
Farther from the centre, but walkable for fitter people, is the city park and
the world famous Prado Museum. The Prado hosts a bewildering number of classical
and modern artistic masterpieces. Among the many priceless highlights is one
of the world's largest collections of works by the Dutch masters, Rembrandt
and Reubens. The nearby park gives a respite from museums and galleries, and
has many scenic walks, a boating lake as well as a famous statue of the Devil
at its northern end.
From here, venture back into the centre and explore the delightful square of
Santa Ana, which hosts many small bars and restaurants that are frequented by
locals and tourists alike. This area is especially lively come nightfall, when
the surrounding streets throng with pleasure-seeking Madrilenos.
