How to do it
A few things worth planning ahead
01
Plan cue
Prioritize the Basilica of Nuestra Señora del Pilar, the Catedral del Salvador, and Monumento a la Constitución de 1978 for the strongest outdoor stops.
02
Plan cue
Build in time for the Palacio de la Aljafería, which stands out as the top indoor option.
03
Plan cue
Use May for a mixed sightseeing plan rather than a museum-only visit, since the weather supports both.
Practical trip tips
Plan the heaviest walking for the morning or late afternoon and keep the middle of the day lighter.
Comfortable shoes will matter more than extra gear, because most visitors will spend the best parts of the day on foot.
Leave some breathing room in the itinerary, because this is a good month to follow the mood of the city rather than rushing it.
