Madrid is the best walking city I've ever been to-guaranteed you'll find something you'll love.
173 Reviews we were in Plaza Mayor just at around 10 am when we noticed a small group milling around 2 young men and a woman. we found out that they were volunteer guides who do not charge a rate, but you may give a tip at the end of the tour. our guide was british in his late 20s but was conversant with the...
140 Reviews I loved this park. We visited twice bringing a picnic with us on our second visit. We got there from Retiro metro station, though you could also visit from Atocha. We first walked past the lake with its spectacular colonnade containing a monument of King Alfonso XII on horseback. Around this area...
7 Reviews and 1978 Opinions With most four-star hotels in Madrid (and throughout Western Europe) charging US$400 or more, the...
21 Reviews and 1013 Opinions Located in the center of town, across the plaza from the Prado Museum.
36 Reviews We saw two of these Museo del Jamons near Puerta del Sol. They were always packed because they were doing a promotion where you could get a draft beer for a Euro and a filled roll for a Euro. The walls of this restaurant/shop were lined with hams.
35 Reviews Stayed in Madrid at an out-of-the-way Ibis Hotel in September 2008. There were a few restaurants around the hotel, but nothing that truly shouted Spanish to us. We saw a little bar called La Hacienda and decided to stop in, have a drink and figure out where to eat. What an experience! We began...
44 Reviews From the outside...it looked like the kind of places where I wouldn't have entered. But it soon became my favourite. I'm not a fan of nightclub, but this is not really one... La Via Lactea ("the milkyway") is a bar where you can also danse and play pool. It is also a delightful time travel... The...
51 Reviews I don't remember the name of the Nightclub, but the night that I was about to go was a teen only, so I think 13-18. It looked very cool, and there was a large line of local Spaniard teenagers which was fun to see, and to socialize with. I didn't end up getting to go inside though, because I was...
54 Reviews Barajas sure has changed since the days when I flew in and out of here on a regular basis. Not only is it much larger but it's beautiful! From the undulating formation of the ceiling to the abundance of shops and restaurants, it's now a world-class airport.
117 Reviews You can get a day pass, 2 day pass, 3 day pass, 4 day pass etc. We purchased a three day pass for 13 Euros and found it great value as we could hop on and off the metro as often as we liked. Individual metro journeys are 1 Euro 50 cents. to the airport it is 2 Euros 50 cents. Tickets and passes can...
33 Reviews A large shopping mall adjacent to the train station of the same name. in fact the mall lies in what was once part of the station. All the usual chains are here; H&M, Monsoon, Pimkie, Footlocker etc. Great if the outside temp is to high as it's air conditioned and very cool in here.
32 Reviews With a delightful young lady running the show, this place is packed full of an energetic and colourful vintage fashion selection, catering for all tastes - men and women alike. Also you will find several special pieces which have been revamped with a special tailoring touch, and if you're really...
56 Reviews In Spain, there's no need for a special reason to go out and celebrate, it's seems like the city is always prepare to go out and have good time. In Madrid, the official fiestas , by calender , are all through the year. It is different from city to city, but basically , you can find everything...
92 Reviews I am sure this has been said a million times but try to keep a hold of your wallet/purse and put it somewhere safe. I had a small backpack (not at all obvious I thought) and I had my money (not all of it fortunately) in a fanny pack inside. I purposely didn't wear the fanny pack so as not to stick...
15 Reviews When you are at the Plaza Mayor you may find it nice to have a bite at one of the many terraces they have, they all look so nice and you can be in the sun... beware however that these restaurants are VERY overpriced! They are mainly touristic, and although the food might be nice, there will be...
11 Reviews It's just a big square plaza with very expensive restaurants, nothing to see, nothing to do. Only 'nice' thing is the Casa de la Panederia, wich is 400 years old, with nice fresco's. walk though the nice small streets next to the plaza
13 Reviews There's a craZy obsession in this city among adults and children alike for any kind of bag or case that's attached to wheels and pulled along. There are plenty of unlicensed wheelie-case drivers in the city, so I suggest that we need not encourage more!! Of course, on a more practical note, be...
9 Reviews Madrid's climate is known for its pronounced seasonal variations. With cold (if dry) winters and inclemently hot (and even drier) summers, spring and autumn are often recommended as the best months to visit the city. In those periods, though, the possibility of precipitation is higher, even if it...
73 Reviews About one hour north of Madrid a high cross in the mountains of Guadarrama signs the location of this fascist monument to the death of civil war, in a place called Valle de los Caidos. Why not? We must keep good and bad memories. Go and have a look, and don't forget, ten kilometers distant...
46 Reviews This is a different way to know the centre of Madrid, and much more fun than just walking or sightseeing from a bus. SEgways are those electric transports in 2 wheels. You can hire them for 1, 2 or 3 hours. Yours include a 10 minutes training and then a guided tour in your language around the old...

8 Reviews The fancy street with shops, cafés and offices. The main building what catches a person's eye is Edificio Metropolis at the corner of the street. I like the way it is designed. On the top is the statue of Goddess Victoria, bellow four statues symbolizing Agriculture, Indrustry, Commerce and Mining....
