"A walk-about city" Madrid by ashafruddin

Madrid Travel Guide: 5,306 reviews and 10,727 photos

We chose a city hotel through the internet as we had limited time to explore the place. Well this hotel fit our bill, it is clean and has an attached bathroom with even a balcony

Wander to this Don Quixote monument somewhere in the city. But beware of motor scooters who swoop on you to steal your hand baggage. These thieves in full helmet gear and dark sun glasses prey on tourists! So if you here scooters ( with rider and pillion) revving nearby avoid open spaces where scooters can pass through and escape.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Nice city to visit on foot and rail
  • Cons:Motor scooter thieves abound!
  • Last visit to Madrid: Oct 2004
