Before you go
What the guide flags for families.
- Retiro Park is the easiest family day: the rowing boats on the Estanque, puppet shows on weekends and the Crystal Palace to run around. (Kids)
- Strollers manage the wide streets and the museums, but the old centre has cobbles and steep lanes; a carrier is easier. (Kids)
- The Prado and the Reina Sofía give children a trail sheet; the Science Museum CosmoCaixa (Alcobendas) and Faunia are half-day options by Metro or taxi. (Kids)
