Royal Palace exterior walk and Plaza de Oriente
Plaza de la Villa short old-Madrid stop

Pro Tips for Day 1
- •Skip Plaza Mayor around 12pm–3pm if possible—tour groups stack up fast and stroller movement gets frustrating.
- •Heads up: the steep streets directly down into parts of La Latina can feel awkward with a stroller; stick to the flatter main lanes near Cava Baja and Plaza de la Villa.

Retiro lake, Prado area, and an easy evening in Barrio de las Letras
Parque de El Retiro and the lake promenade
La Rollerie on Calle de Alcalá
Museo del Prado family highlights route
Círculo de Bellas Artes rooftop
Los Gatos in Barrio de las Letras
Pro Tips for Day 2
- •Skip the Retiro lake zone after 11:30am if you can—weekend crowding makes stroller movement slower and less pleasant.
- •Heads up: the main Prado entrance gets backed up mid-morning; prebook and arrive early to keep the museum portion short and manageable.
Retiro Park paths and central Madrid rooftop dinner
Parque de El Retiro morning walk and Crystal Palace exterior
La Rollerie Alcalá
Casa Árabe courtyard and easy Jerónimos stroll
Círculo de Bellas Artes rooftop
Azotea del Círculo
Pro Tips for Day 3
- •Heads up: Retiro’s boat lake area gets noticeably busier from about 11:30 onward, so do the park loop early and leave the busiest section first.
- •Worth knowing: Plaza de la Independencia traffic islands around Alcalá Gate are awkward with a stroller; use the marked crossings by the park edge instead.
Madrid Río paths, cable car views, and Casa de Campo dinner
Madrid Río promenade by Puente de Toledo
Café del Río
Teleférico de Madrid
Casa de Campo Lake promenade
Villa Verbena
Pro Tips for Day 4
- •Heads up: the cable car line gets frustrating from late morning onward, so go early and buy tickets as soon as you arrive.
- •Worth knowing: parts of Casa de Campo feel spread out and tiring with a stroller if you wander aimlessly—stay focused on the lake zone.
