Ready-made itinerary
Planning 5 days in Madrid? This complete 2026 itinerary takes you through the best attractions, hidden gems, and local experiences. Every day is carefully planned with activities, dining spots, and practical tips, including top attractions and shopping experiences.
A few of the places waiting for you in this plan
Day 1 starts at El Retiro Park (closest to city center) at 9 AM - allow 2 hours to stroll through gardens and enjoy nature. Travel to Museo Nacional del Prado at 11:30 AM via a 15-minute taxi (~€10) for an art-filled 3-hour visit. Finish at the Royal Palace of Madrid at 3 PM, just a 10-minute taxi ride (~€8), with 2 hours to explore the palace's grandeur.
Once it's yours
Open any stop for its photos, hours, and local tips, then make the plan yours: swap what you want, book attractions, reorder days, set your dates. It stays a living trip, not a printout.
