Metro and walking times from the museum
The nearest metro entry found is Atarazanas, 613 m from the anchor, an estimated 10-minute walk. Walk times are estimates from the anchor, using a 1.3 detour factor on the straight line and 80 m a minute. They are not routed journeys from any hotel. No line information is mapped for the station, so check the operator's map before relying on it.
Most sights in the sample are on the doorstep: the Palacio de los Condes de Buenavista is 1 m from the anchor, the museum itself 20 m and Guindilla 60 m, each counted as a 1-minute walk. The mapped sights are mostly plaques and monuments, so the list shows location rather than a full itinerary.
Noise at night: what the map shows
Within 250 m of the anchor, OpenStreetMap lists 15 bars, 12 pubs and 6 nightclubs, 33 venues in all, which the guide scores as a high nightlife risk. This is a mapped-venue proxy. It does not measure sound, and it says nothing about opening hours, terraces or any individual room.
The eight ring samples vary widely. The north-west sample maps 52 venues and the west 41, against 19 to the north and 13 to the south-west. The east sample maps 1, the south-east 3 and the south 0. These are compass points, not named streets, but they suggest the east and south sides map fewer venues than the west.
Hills and walking around the museum
Sampled elevation runs from 10 m to 44 m, a 34 m range across the ring, with the anchor at 21 m. The highest sample is the east one at 44 m, and the south sample is the lowest at 10 m. This is a spread of sampled points, not the climb of any route and not a statement about accessibility.
Between the anchor and Atarazanas, which sits at 14 m, the elevation difference is 7 m. The north, north-east, south-west, west and north-west samples all sit between 18 m and 30 m, so most directions stay within a modest spread of the anchor. Only the east sample stands out above it.

- 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 14 Oct 2026: the metro within 1.2 km, hotels within 500 m. A place missing from OpenStreetMap is missing here too.
