Practical Information

Practical advices Madrid is a safe place. However, as goes for most big cities, Madrid as well has areas that should be avoided late at night. The main problem for tourists are the pickpockets, most of them being active in the city centre near Puerta del Sol and Gran Via. The metro and the trains are guarded by private companies.

When arriving at the airport look for the very helpful red tourist information.

It is recommended to have a copy of your documents and tickets with you and to leave your documents in the hotel.
