Michael Brein's Guide to Madrid by the Metro (Michael Brein's Guides to Sightseeing by Public Transportation)

Summary: Great Guides
Review: I ordered both Barcelona & Madrid before my May trip to Spain- saw them in the Magellan travel catalogue a couple weeks before I left town, and thought these might be helpful. As it was my first time in Spain and I speak only a little Spanish, they proved really helpful, much better than carrying around a guidebook.

Summary: GREAT WAY TO SEE MADRID
Review: Madrid by the Metro was so easy to use and detailed with points of interest that made it easy to plan for and decide what to do for the next day. Without it I am sure we would have seen only what most of the tourists see.

Summary: DON'T TAKE IT WITH YOU,
Review: There are good maps of the subway system in all Metro stations, this map is so big unfolded that it's very inconvenient. You might use it at home to get familiar with what's what, but it's not useful when you're actually on the subway system. better to buy a Good Guide book like Dorling Kindersley Travel Guides: Madrid, it has a metro map in it, and lists subway stops for major tourist sites. Subway maps are available online. Download a nice 8x11 map that will fit in your pocket. Free. Or ask for one at the first Metro station you get on.
