What you will discover

Explore Habsburg Madrid on foot and understand the name Madrid de los Austrias, from Plaza Mayor to the streets around the Royal Palace.

Madrid de los Austrias is the local name for the old quarter associated with the Habsburg dynasty. A private walk introduces that history while helping you connect familiar landmarks with the smaller streets and squares between them.

The suggested route links Plaza Mayor, Plaza de la Villa and Calle Mayor with the area around the Royal Palace and Almudena Cathedral. These are exterior stops, not included monument visits; the final walking route is agreed around your interests and pace.
