- A lot of information ...
I liked this book and read it before setting off for Madrid. It has a lot of information in it and gives some useful historical detail. I found it a bit difficult to use when out and about as all of the info is sectioned by barrios (districts) and as a first time visitor to Madrid it all seemed a bit confusing. I used it together with the eyewitness top 10 madrid guide and found that using them both gave me an excellent balance of info and detail to get about and see everything.

- Generally good and useful guidebook
This is a handy little city guide, small enough to fit in a bag or large pocket, and not too heavy. I found the maps at the back particularly useful; easy to follow and covering a wider area than those in other guidebooks I looked at. The tube map is also welcome.

The information is divided up into categories, which are then further subdivided by area.

- ¡Muy bueno!
There's never enough time in Madrid. You need to hit the ground running to get the most out of it. There are some things you just have to do during the day: visit the Prado, stroll round the Palace, relax in the Retiro. Then there's the nightlife. Madrid at midnight is as busy as Madrid at midday.

Like its companions, Lonely Planet's guide to Madrid helps you get the most out of your too, too short stay. From the off, armed with the information gained from the book, I had on morning one scouted some of the jazz and flamenco places that caught my eye, using the metro guide, and then went off to a gallery.

Some of the directions are a little vague, so it wasn't possible to find them all, but I found one that did the job ... Read More:

What can you say - its a lonely planet, its accurate and comprehensive and will help you in a spot when you don't know anything about where you are going!

- An original guide for one of Europe's most original Cities.
Lonely Planet have produced another sound guide.When i booked my ticket to Madrid it was a city i had only a patchey knowledge of,but this guide more than filled in the gaps.Whilst coverage of sights is at times thin,it has great listings for the cities many bars and clubs,as well as it's restraunts and cafes.I would highly recommend a visit to Madrid and highly recommend this Lonely Planet guide.
