Rail access and walking times from the anchor
The nearest mapped rail stop, tagged Renfe, is 16 m from the anchor, a 1-minute walk. The data lists no line names, so check the operator maps for where each service goes. Walk times are estimates from the anchor at 80 m a minute with a 1.3 detour factor, not routed journeys from any hotel.
On foot, Museo Nacional de Antropología is 155 m away, 3 minutes, and Pabellón del Telescopio de Herschel is 263 m away, 5 minutes. The rail stop search covered 1200 m. Treat these figures as straight-line estimates from the anchor.
Noise at night: what the map shows
Within 250 m of the anchor, OpenStreetMap lists 0 bars, 3 pubs and 0 nightclubs, 3 venues in all, which is low on this guide's scale. That is a count of mapped venues, not a measurement of sound, and unmapped venues or street traffic are not included.
The eight ring samples differ. West maps 12 venues, south-west 6, south 4 and north-west 4, while east maps 2 and north, north-east and south-east map none. Samples are compass points, not named streets, so the west side is the one to weigh if late-evening activity matters to you.
Hills and walking around Atocha
Sampled elevation runs from 613 m to 661 m, a 48 m spread, with the anchor at 627 m. The nearest rail stop is also at 627 m, so the sampled climb from the anchor to it is 0 m.
The highest sample is the north-east point at 661 m and the lowest is south-east at 613 m. This is a range across ring samples 400 m out, not the gradient of any route or an accessibility assessment, so check a street map for your own walk.

- Night-noise risk counts places tagged as bars, pubs and nightclubs in OpenStreetMap within 250 m: low under 8, medium from 8 or with any nightclub, high from 25 or with 3 nightclubs. It counts mapped venues; it does not measure sound.
- Walking times take the straight-line distance, add 30% for the street network and assume 80 m a minute, rounded up. They are estimates, not routes.
- Climb is the spread between the highest and the lowest sampled point in Copernicus DEM GLO-90 via the Open-Meteo Elevation API. Terrain models average the ground into cells, so a few metres either way are within their error.
- Searched on 13 Oct 2026: the metro within 1.2 km, hotels within 500 m. A place missing from OpenStreetMap is missing here too.
