Madrid landmark walk: Sol, Plaza Mayor and the palace
Madrid offers a useful choice between a compact old-centre walk and a longer museum-bound outing. Puerta del Sol, Plaza Mayor and the Royal Palace form the western group; the Prado sits to the east.
The Madrid collection, stop by stop
- 01
Puerta del Sol
Start in the pedestrianised square. Pick a clear meeting point before checking which Charms are nearest.
- 02
Plaza Mayor
Continue into the old centre and leave room to explore the arcades. Keep entrances and restaurant access clear.
- 03
Royal Palace
Make the palace the western finish. Check visitor access separately if your plan includes going inside.
- 04
Prado Museum
Save this for the eastward outing rather than doubling back under time pressure. Museum admission is not included with Passported.
Visitor access comes first
Passported is free to download, with optional in-app purchases. It does not include attraction tickets, transport or permission to enter private areas. A Charm may be unavailable if its pin cannot be reached safely and legally. Never cross a barrier, road or waterway just to claim it.
