Madrid is set out here as 124 districts and neighbouring places, and 65 of them sit within 5 km of the centre. The closest is Madrid Centro. The list reaches 12.3 km out, as far as Barajas de Madrid.

Within 5 km of the middle: Madrid Centro, Embajadores, Justicia, Lavapiés, Palacio, Universidad, Palos de Moguer and Retiro. These are the ones a stay can be walked out of.

Further out, between 10 and 12 km, lie Villa de Vallecas, Valdefuentes, Casco Histórico de Vallecas, Alameda de Osuna, Casco Histórico de Vicálvaro and Rejas. What they give back for the distance is usually space, and sometimes price, although no price figures sit behind this page.

The largest by population is Latina, with about 256,644 residents.

Each place here is a populated area recorded below city level, attached to Madrid when it falls within 25 km of the city centre. 124 of them qualified. The order is distance from the centre and nothing else.

This says where the districts are, not which one is better. It is not a list of administrative boundaries either: coverage below city level is uneven between countries, so there may be districts this page cannot name. No rent, noise or safety figures exist in this programme yet, and none are implied here.

Questions

Which part of Madrid is most central?

Madrid Centro sits closest to the centre of the 124 places named here, and 65 of them are within 5 km. The full distances are in the table, so the order can be checked rather than taken on trust.

Does this say which district is best?

No. It says where each one is and how big it is. Rent, noise and safety are what would decide better, and this programme has no measured source for any of them yet.

Are these all the districts of Madrid?

Not necessarily. The places come from a global gazetteer whose coverage below city level differs from country to country, so this is what can be named with a source behind it rather than a complete list.
