  • Favorite Thing: Hola, pues de Madrid al Cielo, he vivido ,lo visito y es muy bello. Tengo tambien 3 hijos que fueron de esas edades y todavia nunca se le olvida el primer viaje.
    Finales de Febrero ,el clima dificil de adivinar, ahora mismo esta una ola de frio y nieve como nunca en España y Madrid no se ha escapado. Los niños resisten mas que los adultos ::) al frio. Que vengan con jerseys , sueters, abrigos de lluvia, preparado pero no tendran problemas.

    El abono es el abono turistico por hasta una semana de viajes en todo bus, tren, metro.Con este abono no hay que pagar mas para ir y venir del aeropuerto que es un euro mas si compra billete individual. Niños menores de 11 años viajan al 50% de descuento y menores de 4 no pagan nada. aqui el sitio metro madrid para informarles mejor
    http://www.metromadrid.es/01_billetes_abonos.asp#uno

    mejor info esta al final abajo.

    muchos lugares para viajar y hoteles moderados, segun la zona que quiera ir, los hay por todos sitios. No se su presupuesto pero aca puede ver mucho de Madrid con chicos algunas sugerencias
    Teleférico, paseo del pinto rosales,s/n tel local 91 541 7450 metro arguelles

    Planetario, parque Tierno Galvan, tel local 91 467 3898, metro mendz alvaro

    Parque de Atracciones de Madrid, Casa de Campo,s/n tel local 91 463 2900, metro Batan o desde el teleferico bajando hay señales para llegar pero es una caminata.

    Zoo Aquarium de Madrid, Casa de Campo,s/n tel local 91 711 9950, al lado del parque de atracciones.

    pueden alquilar barcos de remos o pedales en la Casa de Campo o el Parque del Buen Retiro, muy bonito el del Retiro, desde que era niño voy ahi.

    Puede llevarlo al museo del Real Madrid en el Bernabeu si le gusta el futbol ::)
    no se que fecha van, pero ahora hay una exhibicon de Star Wars con personajes grandes en la plaza de Castilla, muy popular con los chicos.

    El Palacio Real y los jardines del Moro y del Oeste son muy bonitos para un paseo en el parque del Oeste antes de llegar al teleferico hay el templo de Debod, momias egipcias de verdad con museo y jardin. Muchas cositas mas, aqui puede mirarlas
    http://www.esmadrid.com/es/portal.do

    hoteles a buen precio, puedes mirar aca, pues hay muchos y solo tengo experiencia con el hostal La Plata, gran via 15. Los demas fueron de mas precio.

    Favorite Thing: Hello, because from Madrid to the Sky, I have lived I visit, it and is very beautiful. I also have 3 children who were of those ages and still never the first trip forgets to him. End of February, the climate difficult to guess, right now this wave of cold and snow as in Spain and Madrid one has never escaped. The children resist but who the adults::) to the cold. That they come with jerseys, rain sueters, shelters, preparation but do not tendran problems. The installment is the tourist installment by up to one week of trips in all bus, train, meter. With this installment it is not necessary to pay but to go and to come from the airport that is a Euro but if it buys individual ticket. Smaller children of 11 years travel to 50% of discount and minors of 4 do not pay anything. here the site Madrid meter to inform to them better http://www.metromadrid.es/01_billetes_abonos.asp#uno better info this in the end down. many places to travel and moderate hotels, according to the zone that wants to go there are, them by all sites. Its budget but breadfruit much of Madrid with boys cannot be seen some suggestions Cableway, stroll of pinto rosales, local s/n tel 91 541 7450 meter arguelles Planetarium, Tender park Galvan, local tel 91 467 3898, meter mendz Alvaro Amusement park of Madrid, House of Field, local s/n tel 91 463 2900, meter Fulling mill or from the cableway lowering are signals to arrive but it is a long walk. Zoo Aquarium of Madrid, House of Field, local s/n tel 91 711 9950, next to the amusement park. they can rent to boats of oars or pedals in the House of Field or the Park of the Good Retirement, very tuna the one of the Retirement, since he was young I go there. It can take it to the museum of Real Madrid in the Bernabeu if it likes soccer::) not that date they go, but now there is one exhibicon of Star Wars with great personages in the place of Castile, very popular with the boys. The Real Palace and the gardens of the Moor and the West are very tuna for a stroll in the park of the West before arriving at the cableway is the Egyptian temple of Debod, momias really with museum and garden. Many small things but, can here watch them http://www.esmadrid.com/es/portal.do hotels expensive, you can watch breadfruit, because there are many and only I have experience with the inn the Silver, great via 15. Others were of but price. http://www.30madrid.com/es/madrid-alojamientos-hotel-1.html they pass that it well, Madrid is a city very of children. Fondest Memory: riding to oar and pedal boats AT Retirement Park with my to mother. Still brings lots of memories even now because she already passed away. to walk me by the tobacconist of the Retirement in boats of oars and pedals with my mother. Still it brings very tuna to me memories because she already fallecio.

    Fondest Memory: riding oar and pedal boats at Retiro park with my mother. Still brings lots of memories even now because she already passed away.

    pasearme por el estanco del Retiro en botes de remos y pedales con mi madre. Todavia me trae muy bonitos recuerdos pues ella ya fallecio.
