Getting to Chinatown Madrid doesn\u2019t require taking the metro. Following Variant 2 of the AM4 route from the city\u2019s Anda Madrid<\/a> programme, the neighbourhood is a 95-minute walk from Puerta del Sol, along a continuous route with no significant uphill sections in the final stretch. <\/p>\n\n

The route<\/h2>\n\n
    \n
  1. Puerta del Sol<\/strong> \u2014 starting point.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Neptuno <\/strong>\u2014 along Paseo del Prado.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Atocha<\/strong> \u2014 it\u2019s worth going inside the station to see its tropical garden.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Railway Museum<\/strong> \u2014 located in the former Delicias railway station.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Madrid R\u00edo<\/strong> (Matadero) \u2014 a good place to take a longer break.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Usera Chinatown \u2014 20 minutes and 1.3 km from Matadero<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

    On arrival<\/h2>\n\n

    The end of the route is also the beginning of the experience: Dolores Barranco Street and the surrounding area are home to restaurants, bakeries and pastry shops, Asian supermarkets, tea houses and specialist stores<\/strong>. Many of them are part of the Chinatown Madrid Tourism Quality Distinction programme<\/a>, which recognises establishments<\/a> committed to service quality, accessibility and sustainability. <\/p>\n\n

    Recommendations<\/h2>\n\n
      \n
    • Best in the mid-afternoon:<\/strong> you\u2019ll arrive in Chinatown in time for dinner.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Comfortable shoes and water: <\/strong>in summer, avoid the hottest hours of the day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • The return journey is easy by metro (Line 6, Usera and Plaza El\u00edptica stations).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
