Madrid (Travel Guide)

Followed it daily during recent trip. It was right on.

Well illustrated and excellent information.

Excellent guide for a short visit to Madrid, we did most of the short walk plans on the book, very comprehensive and enough information.

Attractive DK city guide to Madrid. Lots of photos and some attractive maps.Not too big, fits in a largish jacket pocket so practical.Lot of background info on Spanish history etc. that you can dip into and comfortably read over a couple of days.Features nice double-page sections on Madrid for booklovers/film lovers/architecture fans etc. Helps you impose some order on the infinite attractions of Madrid. Useful info on trips outside the city to Escorial, Segovia etc.Includes a robust fold out map but not so handy to use. Plus does anyone use such a map anymore? Avoid the hipstery "snag a table at the iconic gastro market and dance til dawn" cobblers of the 3/4/5 day itineraries if you're a miserable old git like me.Overall, very useful for a short trip!

The DK Eyewitness guides are very good for planning a city break. Much prefer them over Lonely Planet

Loved this book for walking routes. I good for restaurants though. Not Outdated but exclusive. No cheap places of which there ante loads. A bit stuff if I’m honest but the walking tours are epic and worth it just for that
