You'll walk Madrid's grand central spine, the Gran Vía, discovering French and neoclassical landmarks, then loop back through the intimate streets of Malasaña and Chueca. This route gives you a genuine sense of how the city layers its architecture and neighborhoods—from 19th-century mansions to a 4,000-year-old temple and a lively historic café.
