 Fun on the bus by nhcram
The red route takes you on the historical Madrid route. The blue route takes you on the modern Madrid route and the green route is the monumental Madrid. It is an excellent way to see the city and you don’t wear out your shoe leather in the process. Note the places of interest to you and visit them later.
The red and blue routes last approximately 75 minutes each and the green route is about 40 minutes long.
A one day ticket is 13 Euros and a two day ticket is 17 Euros. (discounts for young people and senior citizens.) Leave a Comment

 View from up high. by nhcram
The views across Madrid and then across the vast shrubland of Casa de Campo were worth me being scared!! The trip costs 3.10 Euros for a single and 4.45 for the return journey. You can take the ride from near to the Templo de Debod just down the road from the Palace gardens. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 El Oso y El Madroño by jamiesno
In Madrid a lot of people meet at the "bear". This is a statue of a bear and tree at Peurta Del Sol the center of Madrid and Spain.
This symbol of Madrid is a 20 ton statue of a bear eating fruits from a tree. The official name of the statue is 'El Oso y El Madroño'. The Madroño is a tree related to the strawberry tree.
You can see it here in my picture. In is on the opposite side of the clock at Puerta Del Sol I remember.
The bear itself if a true Madrid symbol you will see in many places around the city and is also part of the city's coat of arms.
So once you get oriented and you want to know where we will meet. "We'll meet back at the bear!"
Warning though, a lot of people meet back at the bear :-), so you might have to still have a good eye. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 Map of Madrid's Metro
System by Paul2001Leave a Comment

Ok, so as soon as you step in the hall of the entrance of Barajas, buy a METROBUS, a ticket for 10 metro rides and the buses. Go to the Metro, which is a bit… well not far, but you need to do some walking.
Take the metro to the station NUEVOS MINISTERIOS, and over there you change it to line 10, that can take you to Alonso Martínez, which is pretty much centrally located. Although the stations GRAN VÍA, Puerta del Sol, Callao… are the ones in the very centre. Normally it is lines 1 and 5.
The Metro, I think, is pretty easy to use and... quite practical.
In case you need to travel WAY TOO EARLY in the morning, like I did, well.. there is always the option taqxi/cab. The hostel "Las Murallas" scheduled one for me, for 5:15 am, and it didn't cost too much... 20 euros. Or more precisely 16 with additional 4 because it was a night tarif. Leave a Comment

 Metro Madrid by Frisbeeace
The catch is that you will have to drag your bags up and downstairs a couple of times even though most trams have mechanic staircases. Not too bad but may be too much for older people.
The best itinerary from the airport is to take the Metro to Nuevos Ministerios, then switch to the blue line until Tribunal station and from there on take the light blue line either to Gran Via or Sol, depending where your hotel is.
The trip will take you around 45'. Leave a Comment
