Michael Brein's Guide to Madrid by the Metro shows travelers how to go to Madrid s top 50 visitor attractions by metro, rail, and bus. The guide shows which transit to use, which lines to take, which stops to board and exit at, and, using about 30 detailed mini-area-walking maps, shows exactly how to walk from these stops right to the visitor attractions. Additional nearby points of interest are also indicated on these mini-maps. An ultra-large (very easy to read) official map of Madrid s transit system is also provided. The Madrid guide is concise, compact, and comprehensive and fits in your pocket (leave the bulky books back in the hotel room!). Michael Brein's Madrid guide is part of the world's first and only travel guide series specifically designed to show travelers how to sightsee the top 50 visitor attractions by public transportation in a variety of the world's most visited cities.

Another most unusual and also very clever guidebook to come into the marketplace, is "Sightseeing by Public Transportation."

Know Before You Go with $5 Transit Guides. Detailed maps of public transit systems are often hard to come by until you reach a destination. The guides cost $5 each and include a list of a city's 50 most popular places, as well as walking maps. The big maps are the schematics used by the cities themselves. The series began with the Oahu bus system. The publisher, Michael Brein, has added London, Paris, Barcelona, Berlin, Madrid, Munich, Prague and Sydney. Amsterdam, Washington, D.C. and Vienna will be added this spring. -- San Jose Mercury News, January 16, 2000
Off the Map. If you want to get to know a city like a local, it helps to travel like one, and free public transit maps don't tell you how to get to the fun stuff. For $5, try one of Michael Brein's double-duty city transit maps. -- New York Post, August 24, 1999

GREAT WAY TO SEE MADRID,
By A Customer
This review is from: Michael Brein's Guide to Madrid by the Metro (Michael Brein's Guides to Sightseeing By Public Transportation) (Michael Brein's Guides to Sightseeing By ... to Sightseeing By Public Transportation) (Map)
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.

Great Guides,
This review is from: Michael Brein's Guide to Madrid by the Metro (Michael Brein's Guides to Sightseeing By Public Transportation) (Michael Brein's Guides to Sightseeing By ... to Sightseeing By Public Transportation) (Map)
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.

This review is from: Michael Brein's Guide to Madrid by the Metro (Michael Brein's Guides to Sightseeing By Public Transportation) (Michael Brein's Guides to Sightseeing By ... to Sightseeing By Public Transportation) (Map)
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.
