The proposal, unveiled at the Beti Jai fronton, extends four of the six original 'Anda Madrid' itineraries, allowing citizens and visitors to discover nine additional stops. This sustainable mobility initiative was launched in September 2024 by the City Council with the goal of promoting walking as a means of exploring the city.
“"Madrid is a city to be explored on foot, where every street and every space tells a story. These routes connect our great cultural landmarks and bring heritage closer to residents and visitors."
The routes, which start or end at the Puerta del Sol (pedestrianized in August 2020), allow exploration of the capital's most iconic spots in tours lasting from one to two and a half hours. Sustainable mobility is a priority for the City Council, which has implemented actions since 2020 within the framework of the Madrid 360 Environmental Sustainability Strategy.
Data from March indicates a 4.1% increase in daily trips in Madrid compared to the previous year, reaching 15.4 million. Of these, over 4.2 million (27.4%) were pedestrian trips, representing a 2.3% increase compared to 2025. In the central core, walking trips significantly outnumber other modes of transport, with 1.7 million daily journeys compared to 700,200 by public transport or 540,800 by vehicle.
The 'Anda Madrid' itineraries connect with important green spaces such as Casa de Campo, Madrid Río, and El Retiro Park, as well as cultural and sports venues like the Palacio de Vista Alegre, the Temple of Debod, the Royal Palace, and the Santiago Bernabéu and Metropolitano stadiums. They also include major transport hubs such as Nuevos Ministerios, Atocha, and Moncloa.
The 'Anda Madrid' map provides detailed information on distances, locations, and travel times, and integrates the routes of the EMT Madrid zero-emission bus lines 001 and 002, which are free throughout the year. The map will be available on the municipal website, tourist offices, district boards, and various municipal facilities.
