How to start the search
Confirm a start in the historic centre or around Retiro and Prado. Pick the precinct closest to the places you most want to see, then use the attraction editor to remove or add verified options before one recalculation.
Current coverage limits
The two reviewed precincts do not represent every Madrid neighbourhood. The route can be shorter than the selected maximum when that produces a more practical set of verified sights.
How RouteMate uses the guide
Confirm a start, choose Main sights and set the full-route distance as a maximum. RouteMate proposes a route from the available verified sights, then shows the sights actually verified against the final line.
