The tuk‑tuk hums through Madrid’s open squares as the city unfolds: fountains spray like characters in a play, broad avenues open and close, and the Prado’s stone facade watches the little vehicle glide by. In an hour the vehicle stitches a compact route—Cibeles, Neptune, Gran Vía—while longer options let the driver linger at Retiro’s leafy promenades or pause above the Temple of Debod for a western light show.
